The year is drawing to a close, which means its time for The New Arab Voice's annual review of year.
To guide us through the tangled mess of the past 12 months, we're joined by The New Arab's Managing Editor Karim Traboulsi (@Kareemios), and journalist Oliver Mizzi (@OllyMizzi99).
In this episode, we look back on the 12 days of war that shook Iran and Israel, the continued efforts of President Erdogan to hold on to power, the state building project of the new Sharaa government in Damascus, the brutal war in Sudan, and the stuttering ceasefire efforts in Gaza.
We also look ahead to what 2026 might bring, and what us at The New Arab will be keeping an eye on.
