Strategic neutrality : How Syria is winning in the Iran war

Syria's interim government, which came to power after ousting Bashar Assad in late 2024, is positioning itself as a strategic energy transit hub by maintaining neutrality in the ongoing Iran war—reopening its Iraq border for oil exports in April and hosting discussions with European states and Gulf producers about pipelines and telecommunications corridors. Analysts note the diplomatic opportunity is real but contingent on Syria resolving governance challenges, infrastructure deficits, and security threats, with no guarantee the country can transition from a transit state hosting externally-determined infrastructure to a hub that shapes regional energy routes.

Palestinian ambassador protests to Foreign Office over ’erasure’ by British Museum

Palestinian ambassador Husam Zomlot has protested to the UK Foreign Office over the British Museum's removal of references to "Palestine" from exhibit panels in its ancient Levant and Egyptian galleries, which occurred in 2025 after the UK recognised Palestinian statehood in September that year. The museum stated it has not removed the term "Palestine" from displays, contradicting photographic evidence of changes; Zomlot declined a March meeting offer and demanded corrective action before further engagement, while the British government said museum decisions rest with independent trustees.
