שמחתי מאוד להתראיין למגזין SYRIA IN TRANSITION שסוקר באופן מעמיק את השינויים העוברים על סוריה בשנים האחרונות.
אמרתי שבעיני לישראל ולסוריה יש הזדמנות פז שאסור לפספס והערכתי שאם יהיה שינוי פוליטי, נראה התקדמות (גם אם איטית) קודם כל בזירה הזאת. דיברנו גם על נושא ההגנה עבור הדרוזים בדרום סוריה, על איך שתופסים את א-שרע בישראל ועל רצונו של נתניהו להשאיר את כל החזיתות פתוחות.
כנסו ללינק! הראיון באנגלית.

Abu Hagoup is a gem and is actually the very first place I ever visited in Aleppo, straight from the bus station with my backpack - thanks to Mr. Sufra. My favorite might be the Mortadella Halabiya (which you can also find in Yerevan's Gum market)

“It feels like a love affair, but only in one direction.” A protester in Raqqa used that line to describe the gap between Syrians’ hopes after Assad’s fall and what they feel the new government is giving back.

.@HaddonBarth for @SyriaTransition on how depictions of Syria as "rubble" – that is, a blank slate – make it easier to ignore the real politics of how Syria now rebuilds and resources are redistributed: syriaintransition.com/en/hom…

Suriye'de Müslüman Kardeşler yol ayrımında mı. 8 Aralık iktidar değişimi sonrası ülkede gücü zayıflayan MK yeni rejim-el Şara-ile ilişkilerinni geleceği ve rejim içinde kendine nasıl bir konum bulabileceği tartışmaları içinde..
Yesterday the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) issued a statement rejecting HTS government demands to disband and asserting its right to participate in Syria's political life.
In December 2025 we wrote about the growing rift between the two Islamist groups: the MB, the historic opposition to Ba'thist rule, and HTS, which holds power today. Who will win out?

I don’t agree with all of the review, but grateful @SyriaTransition took the time to read & write about it. Loved the photo with sticky notes indicating the thought that went into the review! Reviewer: Read my first book, Blood & Belief, where some of what u wanted is dealt with.
Aliza Marcus’s latest book offers a useful timeline of events and insightful interviews with PKK figures; but the darker stains remain woven into a compelling liberation narrative instead of being allowed to disrupt it – leaving empty some much-needed space between romanticisation and demonisation.

As Syria’s education system undergoes reform, attitudes toward discipline reflect changing norms. A majority of 62% say physical punishment in schools is never acceptable. Others express conditional acceptance, with smaller shares saying it is acceptable in some or all circumstances. The question forms part of an upcoming series on educational reform in SiT.

Currency confusion: Syria’s redesigned bank notes have erased two zeroes and the Assads’ portraits. They have also confused locals and foreigners alike syriaintransition.com/en/hom…

Can a vanguard movement deliver grassroots democracy? Aliza Marcus traces the PKKs resurgence and rise in Syria. My review for @SyriaTransition looks at the tensions between emancipation, cadre rule & repression, and at what her account leaves unresolved.

"All my trees are suffering." In Mneen, a severe water crisis has forced farmers to choose between their livelihoods and basic survival. With aquifers depleting, the community is demanding sustainable solutions instead of further drilling. @natacha_danon latest dispatch for @SyriaDirect from the field: syriadirect.org/syrias-wells…

“This cycle of mutual legitimisation for the sake of self-preservation reinforces itself, with lasting consequences for #Syria’s transition.” the rot is systemic. People come & go and the rot stays the same. #Syria @un syriaintransition.com/en/hom…

For @SyriaTransition, @LarsHauch argues current UN approach to Syria reflects continuity & risks repeating mistakes of 2011-2024,where access,presence & technical support substitute for advancing political principles of Resolution 2254 regarding transition syriaintransition.com/en/hom…

Très bonne analyse de @LizHurra sur les raisons de l'interventionnisme israélien en Syrie, et surtout de l'impasse dans la ville de Soueïda, qui continue d'échapper au contrôle de Damas.

For @SyriaTransition, @LizHurra argues the Syrian govt misreads some of the motives for Israel’s actions in Syria, especially on the Druze and Suwayda’. She suggests best way forward is real accountability for July 2025 massacres & SDF-style integration syriaintransition.com/en/hom…
