In a major development in Syria's ongoing conflict, the Syrian military has announced a "temporary troop withdrawal" in Aleppo as it prepares for a large-scale counteroffensive.
The withdrawal follows heavy clashes with opposition forces, including Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), who recently launched a surprise attack, taking control of several neighborhoods in the city.
As both sides regroup and reinforce their positions, the question arises: Is this a tactical retreat by the Syrian army, or are they preparing for a decisive push to reclaim the strategic city?
This video dives into the implications of this military shift, the casualties suffered, and the potential for further escalation in the battle for Aleppo.
Stay updated on this ongoing situation and its impact on the future of the region.
Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady.

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure. Will this gamble reshape Syria—or haunt U.S. foreign policy?
