Quneitra farmers increasingly cut off from their fields
Among the towns and villages impacted by Israel’s incursions into southwest Syria, few have had more problems than Jabata al-Khashab. The village, in northern Quneitra Governorate, is within the UNDOF demilitarized zone and subsequently is de facto occupied by the Israeli military, who seized much of the UNDOF zone starting at the end of 2024.

What if the global oil crisis gets much, much worse?
I’m not talking about another $10 move in crude.

A French administrative court on Wednesday suspended a ban imposed Tuesday on a pro-Palestinian demonstration planned in Paris for the evening, allowing the rally to proceed, according to the court.
The court said the demonstration did not constitute a “trouble to public order.”
The rally, called by the Urgence Palestine collective “against the genocide in Gaza and for respect for the ceasefire,” can therefore go ahead Wednesday evening.
More than one in 10 people from Gaza’s pre-war population has been killed or wounded by Israeli fire since Israel launched its genocidal war against Palestinians in the territory in October 2023.
Nearly every family is now grieving for the dead or caring for the injured, while most residents have been forced to move repeatedly to escape fighting and evacuation orders.
