This is a good summary:
From al-Qaeda to Syria's presidency, the rise of Ahmad al-Sharaa
He's a former al-Qaeda member, but on Wednesday, new Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa stood on the world stage with President Donald Trump.

Hamas security officer says group has lost control over most of Gaza /OR/ Hamas security officer says clans filling void as group loses control of Gaza
The officer says Israeli strikes have devastated the group's leadership and structure, and that armed clans are filling the void.

Looks like Gaza going the same way as Iraq and Libya. Even with a ceasefire / peace treaty this disaster isn't ending any time soon. As soon as Israel pulls out it seems likely there could be a civil war of some description.

This is a picture of him when he was in ISIS, he broke off and formed HTS.
In Syria, HTS stands for Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. It's an armed Islamist group that has become a dominant force in the Syrian opposition. Formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate, HTS publicly broke away from al-Qaeda in 2016. Despite this split, the group retains a Salafi-jihadist ideology and is designated as a terrorist organization by the UN, US, and EU.

Cynic in me is that this is a deliberate "divide and rule" strategy. If they're fighting each other then they haven't got time to fight Israel - much the same as happened for a long time in Lebanon.

Blair is an absolute sociopath
You haven't read the article then.
Again, I'm not defending Tony Blair, but the article clearly states that the TBI staff didn't mention anything about relocating Palestinians - that came from an Israeli.
As I say I'm not defending him or the TBI, it's just a very click baity headline.
