In the fourth episode of Israel’s 7 Front War, research fellow at the Philos Project, Hadeel Oueis, and AJU President Jeffrey Herbst discuss the status of the Assad government, Israel’s continued escalation in the north, and the reality on the ground for Syrian citizens.

Hadeel Oueis is a writer and journalist specializing in the Middle East and a research fellow at the Philos Project. She majored in political studies and, in 2011 at the age of 18, was arrested by the Assad regime for her role in the early Syrian protests. In 2012, the United States delegation in Geneva helped her relocate to the United States. Oueis currently analyzes U.S. policies in the Middle East for major Arabic networks. She has also reported extensively through the @JIMENA platform about Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews and has been a vocal advocate for peace in the Middle East.

Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the complexities surrounding the Syrian conflict and Israel’s strategic responses.
