What does the future hold for Syria after Assad’s fall? In this gripping episode, Dutch analyst and field researcher Rena Netjes joins us from Istanbul. Fluent in Arabic and Hebrew, and deeply embedded in the region, Rena shares raw insights from her extensive time on the ground in Syria, Egypt, Palestine, and Turkey. We dive into the complex fate of the SDF and PKK, U.S. sanctions, and the geopolitical vacuum left in Assad’s wake. She also recounts her harrowing arrest in Egypt — a story of journalistic courage and survival.

In this candid conversation, Hayan, Elijah, and Ittay dive deep into the necessity of honest, uncomfortable, and critical dialogue when it comes to Syria, Palestine, Israel, and interfaith relations. We explore why discourse—especially across divides—isn't just important, it's essential. No filters, no echo chambers—just three voices grappling with complexity, nuance, and the politics of speaking up.

In this episode, we sit down with Haitham, a Palestinian content creator known for his deep dives into vexillology, geography, and history. We discuss his journey into content creation, his family's history, and the diversity of Palestinian identity. Palestinians are not a monolith—regional, political, and cultural differences shape their perspectives, yet their shared struggle binds them. We discuss the vision of a borderless, united Levant, breaking down colonial divisions and reimagining a future beyond imposed borders. We also break down Trump’s latest statements on Gaza, the idea of resettlement in neighboring countries, and the global fight for Palestinian self-determination.

Elijah and Hayan return for the second episode of what we are tentatively calling the Pan-Levant Podcast. In this episode, we are joined by an anti-Zionist activist living in the Holy Land, who brings a deeply personal perspective to questions of land, identity, and historical responsibility. As someone who has lived as a settler both on Turtle Island and in Palestine, our guest reflects on the interconnected legacies of colonialism and displacement, emphasizing the urgent need to rethink our relationship with the land we inhabit. Through this conversation, we explore what it means to move beyond settler identities and toward a more just and rooted existence.

Had a thought-provoking conversation with a fellow Syrian, Elijah and a Palestinian, Jadd. Coming from diverse backgrounds we discussed a Pan-Levantine vision for the region.

Through personal stories and insightful commentary, we explore the shared histories and interconnected struggles of Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond. We highlight the importance of unity amidst diversity, offering nuanced perspectives on regional politics, culture, and resistance. Join the conversation as we analyze current events, reflect on the past, and envision a future rooted in solidarity and mutual respect.
