Author: Michael Welch January 9, 2025 Duration: 59:00
This week, on the Global Research News Hour we take a special look at post-Assad Syria and its fate with two experts who bring us enlightened and seldom talked about perspectives on who’s in charge of the oldest current capital city in the world and the stakes for the country and the region. In our first half hour, Drago Bosnic, the commentator from last week joins us to talk to us about the role of the US and other foreign powers directing affairs in the West Asian country behind the scenes and why they are doing it. Then in our second half hour we are joined by Middle East analyst and commentator Laith Marouf about who the new regime is, what the people crossing the border into Lebanon experienced recently, and how the Middle East stands to be affected by the fall of the once strong supporters of Lebanon against Israel.

Tune in to Global Research News Hour for a weekly deep dive into the stories and perspectives often overlooked by mainstream headlines. Host Michael Welch guides each episode with a careful, analytical approach, bringing forward voices from independent journalists, researchers, and activists from around the world. This isn't about quick soundbites; it's about substantive conversations that unpack the complex geopolitical and economic forces shaping our current moment. You'll hear detailed discussions on international conflicts, corporate power, social movements, and environmental crises, all framed within a critical context that challenges conventional narratives. The podcast dedicates itself to connecting dots across borders, offering listeners a more nuanced understanding of global events. Each installment of this news-focused program is built on thorough investigation and a commitment to presenting information that empowers rather than simply informs.
