In this episode, we break down the latest developments on the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, the growing unrest among Druze communities in southern Syria, and the unexpected viral moment of Ahmad Sharaa riding a horse. We analyze the political stakes of the ceasefire talks, the regional implications of Druze mobilization, and why Sharaa’s horseback ride was such a hit on social media. From geopolitics to local dynamics, we unpack the narratives shaping the region and what they signal for the future.
