My latest covers the backlash sparked by donations from the #Hamsho family at a high-profile fundraiser attended by the #Syrian president, raising questions about the transitional authorities' handling of ex-regime #cronies and potential backroom deals. en.majalla.com/node/327649/...
Hamsho donations revive questions about the fate of Assad's cronies
The donations were not random acts of goodwill, but part of a calculated campaign to rehabilitate the Hamsho name, using wealth built on Syrians' suffering to buy legitimacy

يسلط مقالي الضوء على المبالغ التي قدّمتها عائلة #حمشو خلال حفل جمع تبرعات رفيع المستوى حضره الرئيس الشرع، والتي أثارت موجة من الانتقادات، وتساؤلات حول كيفية تعامل السلطات الانتقالية مع شخصيات مرتبطة بالنظام السابق، وإمكانية وجود صفقات تُبرم خلف الكواليس. www.majalla.com/node/327688

My in-depth report on how HLP rights violations have been addressed during the first six months of Syria’s post-regime transition. The report highlights both formal and informal efforts to reclaim property, identifies key challenges, and sets out an actionable roadmap. paxforpeace.nl/publications...

3/3 Another concern is the replacement of candidates on electoral college lists. The Supreme Electoral Committee said the changes were intended to improve demographic, diversity, and specialization representation– but gave no case-specific explanations, fueling transparency concerns.
End.

رغم تراجع تهريب المخدرات بعد سقوط النظام، يواجه الأردن اليوم تهديدًا جديدًا يتمثل في التهريب الجوي. هذا التحول يضع المملكة أمام نمط جديد من الحروب، لا يُخاض عبر عدائي الحدود، بل بالطائرات المسيّرة والبالونات، ناقلًا ساحة المواجهة من الجغرافيا إلى التكنولوجيا. www.majalla.com/node/327476/...
حرب الأردن ضد المخدرات تنتقل الى السماء
عطّل سقوط الأسد جزءا من منظومة المخدرات الإقليمية، لكنه لم يدمرها وما برز بعده هو شبكة لامركزية ومرنة من المهربين

My latest examines the escalating #rivalry between #Israel & #Türkiye in #Syria, unpacking its key drivers, each country’s approach & the growing risk it poses. Without a framework to manage this #tension, the risk of miscalculation is high. en.majalla.com/node/327445/...
Are Israel and Türkiye heading for a showdown over Syria?
Ankara's drive to reintegrate Kurds into a centralised state clashes with Tel Aviv's preference for a weak, fractured Syria

This shift marks a new phase in the regional drug war—one where technology, not geography, defines the battlefield. While land routes can be fenced and patrolled, airspace is harder to police, and airborne “mules” are far more difficult to track or intercept.

My latest examines the Israel–Syria talks, the likelihood of a deal amid rising U.S. pressure, and the challenges any agreement would face – especially as Washington prioritises optics over substance to deliver a deal Trump can showcase at the upcoming UN gathering. en.majalla.com/node/327415/...
Netanyahu’s ‘peace through force’ doctrine hurts Syria talks
Syria's foreign minister met Israeli officials in London on 17 September, sparking speculation that a deal is in the offing. But even if one is reached, it risks being more symbolic than substantive.
