Thousands flee Homs as insurgents led by HTS advance on Syria's third-largest city
The move is the latest in a lightning advance spearheaded by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group over the past week which has seen them seize Aleppo and Hama in the face of little resistance by government forces.
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?
