Goodbye Hossam Shabat.
Only 23 years old.
Killed in Gaza by Israel for telling the truth.
International journalists are banned from Gaza (unless they’re @IDF lapdogs)
So Hosam and his colleagues were our eyes and ears in the middle of hell.
Journalists are not a target.

On @ABC: What's next for #Syria? I discuss how the region stands at a crossroad: geopolitical shifts, economic pressures, and local dynamics are reshaping the landscape in real time. Big question: looking at new phase of conflict - or overdue recalibration?
