Sharing our latest @nbcnews story from the West Bank on the killing of two Palestinian men by Israeli border police in Jenin.

There is certainly some hope that the Gaza deal will hold but it’s important to remember that the last ceasefire agreement collapsed in March before ever reaching phase 2 when Israel reimposed a blockade on Gaza and bombings on the strip resumed.

So what is Qatar going to do about it?

Qatar is designated as a “Non-NATO Major Ally” of the United States.

It’s safe to say that if you drop a bomb on the people you’re supposed to be negotiating with, you’re probably not too interested in striking a deal.

Opposition to Gaza war grows among Israeli soldiers as strikes ramp up “I refuse to commit war crimes,” Yuval Ben Ari told NBC News earlier this month. “The patriotic thing to do is to say no.”

Another puzzling move in this trade war drama: Syria, which has almost zero trade with the U.S., was hit with 41% in tariffs by the Trump administration. Russia, however, is not on the list of targeted countries.

One Hundred Roses: Omar Alshogre's Journey After surviving the notorious Sendnaya prison, eventually escaping via mock execution, the activist and public speaker Omar Alshogre is ready to believe Syria won't let freedom slip from its grasp

“Syrians won’t let just anyone take their freedom away,” says Syrian Emergency Task Force’s Omar Alshogre. “Because they fought for a long time and they are ready to keep fighting for it."

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! May the year ahead bring peace and relief to those suffering from war, displacement or grief.

Today, I am counting my blessings.

Good morning from Beirut!

On assignment in Damascus in 2011 with @iamarwadamon and @jomanacnn. We often huddled together on the bed and whispered about the next day’s shoots. In Syria, it was always safer to assume that hotel rooms were bugged and we didn’t want to risk divulging our plans or the names of our contacts.

When I wrote about visiting Syria in my memoir, I was pretty convinced I’d never see the day the country would rid itself of the Assad dictatorship. It still feels utterly surreal to witness the events of the last few weeks.

So many Syrians I know are telling me they can’t wait to go back. There will be a mass movement of Syrian exiles returning if they feel that it’s safe.

The fact that Assad’s fall came so many years after that of dictators in other Arab Spring countries hopefully means that the rebel forces will know not to make the same mistakes and that important lessons were learned in the last decade.

I’m still digesting the recent events in Syria and, like everyone, I have no idea what happens next. But when I see video of political prisoners freed after decades, it feels like a real unraveling of something so deeply rooted in the country that few imagined they’d witness it in their lifetime.

This video of children lining up for rice at a food distribution center in Gaza is some of the most devastating footage I’ve watched lately. It came a day after 3 women were crushed to death waiting to buy bread in Deir Al Balah. Our full report on hunger in Gaza comes out tomorrow on @hallieonnbc.

I’m in Jerusalem, watching dvlpts in Aleppo and thinking of how in one year, a domino effect of events has led to a stunning victory for Syrian rebels against the Assad regime. A weakened Hezbollah, Iran on the back foot and Russia focused on Ukraine created the perfect set of circumstances to act.

Intel source in Israel who was briefed on the deal tells me Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement:

- Includes a 60-day period for gradual withdrawal of IDF from southern Lebanon.

- Calls on Hezbollah to withdraw North of the Litani River

- Requires the Lebanese army will deploy to south Lebanon.

Some really atrocious weather in Jerusalem tonight. Displaced Palestinians in Gaza have told us that their tents are blowing away and that the few belongings they have are getting soaked.

Thank you, Noor! Hope you enjoy it.
