Syria has shut the Kassab border crossing with Turkey as massive wildfires edge dangerously close to the Turkish province of Hatay. Sparked amid severe drought and recent sectarian unrest, the fires have destroyed swathes of Syria’s green belt and now threaten cross-border regions. Firefighters from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq joined Syrian civil defense teams to battle the blaze. With Attera burning just 4 km from the Turkish border, Ankara is on high alert. Officials say the spread is due to extreme heat and wind—not arson.

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis.
He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye.

On July 7, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for a private dinner, where they discussed a controversial proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza. The plan, dubbed the "free choice" initiative, suggests that Palestinians could choose to leave Gaza for other countries. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel and the U.S. are working with other nations to offer Palestinians a "better future." However, neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan have firmly rejected the idea, citing concerns over regional stability and sovereignty. This proposal has sparked widespread criticism, with many viewing it as a form of ethnic cleansing disguised as a humanitarian solution.

Four major Arab nations — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan — have strongly condemned Israel’s military strikes on Iran, labeling them as violations of sovereignty and international law. Riyadh has called for urgent UN Security Council intervention, while the UAE urged maximum restraint. Kuwait and Jordan warned the strikes threaten Middle East stability. All four nations demand immediate global action to prevent the outbreak of a larger regional war, as fears of a wider Islamic world backlash begin to grow.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.
