Al-Sharaa’s meeting with Trump isn’t diplomacy — it’s a transaction that boosts US power & tightens his grip, with Syrians left behind, writes Joseph Daher.

As al-Sharaa leads Syria further towards normalisation with Israel, Joseph Daher argues that alignment with the US & its allies won’t bring lasting stability.

Sharaa’s gamble on centralising Syria by force rather than democratic consensus building gets a deadly reality check in Suweida, writes Joseph Daher.

A month after sectarian violence erupted on Syria's coast, the Syrian state has yet to recognise the importance of transitional justice, says Joseph Daher.

Israel has a vested interest in keeping Syria weak and fragmented, especially now that the people can openly show support for Palestine, says Joseph Daher.

Joseph Daher argues that progressives must build a pluralistic Syria that recognises the freedoms of Kurds.

After Assad, any alternative economic plan that will benefit all Syrians is likely to come from a progressive & organised base, not HTS, argues Joseph Daher.

Joseph Daher explains why the Assad regime's toppling in Syria is important to liberation efforts across the region, especially for the Palestinian struggle.

Joseph Daher explains why celebrating Israel's assassination Hezbollah's Nasrallah is short sighted when it comes to Syrians’ struggle against Assad's regime.

There's no doubt Hassan Nasrallah's assassination by Israel has weakened Hezbollah. Joseph Daher explains why this is not the end for them.
