Human rights lawyer named Syria's ambassador to the UN
Syrian President Ahmad Al Shara on Tuesday appointed Ibrahim Olabi, a British-educated human rights lawyer, as the country's new UN ambassador. Mr Olabi, who has built a career at the intersection of law, advocacy and international diplomacy, takes up the post after serving as legal adviser to Foreign Minister Asaad Al Shaibani. In that role, he worked on dismantling Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, easing sanctions, and managing contacts with international justice and accountability bodies. His appointment also reflects the generational shift that the interim Syrian leadership has sought to project since the toppling of Bashar Al Assad's regime in December last year. At 34, Mr Olabi represents a younger cohort of Syrians who rose to prominence through human rights activism and engagement with multilateral institutions. Raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and holding both British and German citizenship, Mr Olabi studied law at the University of Manchester, earning top honours at both undergraduate and graduate level. He then completed a master's in public policy at Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government. He previously practiced law with Guernica 37, a London-based company specialising in war crimes and accountability cases, and has advised the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the International Bar Association. He also served on the board of the Syrian British Council. Over the past decade, he has trained hundreds of Syrian activists on documenting forced displacement and torture, witnessed the aftermath of a chemical attack in Aleppo in 2017, and testified at international conferences from Geneva to Washington. Mr Olabi will replace current ambassador Kusay Aldahak, a career diplomat who was appointed by Mr Al Assad.

Syria's Foreign Minister meets Israeli delegation in Paris
Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad Al Shibani on Tuesday met an Israeli delegation in Paris to discuss enhancing security in the region, according to Syrian state media. The discussions focused on de-escalation and non-interference, as well as monitoring the ceasefire in Sweida governorate, among other issues, Sana news agency reported. Israel's Channel 12 news outlet said the meeting included Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. US special envoy for Syria Tom Barrack was also reportedly at the meeting. Washington has been mediating discussions between Israel and Syria. Mr Barrack met Israel's Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Muwaffaq Tarif in Paris, and he said they had a "warm and informative meeting". The two men "discussed the situation in Sweida and how to bring together the interests of all parties, de-escalate tension and build understanding", Mr Barrack said in a post on X. Tension continues to simmer between Israel and Syria. Sectarian violence surged in the Sweida region between the Druze and Bedouin communities last month. Syrian government troops were sent to contain the unrest but Druze militias, who distrust the new authorities in Damascus and accuse them of siding with the Bedouin, rallied to push them back. A military intervention by Israel, which calls itself a protector of the Druze religious community, removed government troops and allied militias from the provincial capital. Government forces have encircled the area amid a fragile truce, and Druze leaders have accused Damascus of barring most humanitarian aid from entering. More than 1,000 people have been killed and tens of thousands displaced amid the conflict. Israel and Syria have never established diplomatic relations, although both signed a disengagement agreement in 1974 that created a UN-monitored buffer zone separating them. Sana reported that the Paris discussions touched on reactivating the agreement. Cross-border Israeli strikes on Syria increased after the toppling of former president Bashar Al Assad and further intensified during the Sweida conflict, with targets including the Ministry of Defence in Damascus.

Meet the UAE racing driver who is planting trees to turn his sport into a sustainability platform
Over the years, the UAE, a melting pot of cultures, has inspired a myriad people to go out of their way to bring about change. And Lachlan Robinson, a Dubai-based Australian racing driver who was only six months old when his parents decided to leave the UK for the UAE, is the latest in the long list of young changemakers in this country. A hugely talented driver who is driving for Porsche's title-winning W&S team in the ADAC GT4 Germany Championship, Robinson is now a passionate advocate of green initiatives. With his #DrivenToZero project, launched in association with Evertreen, a leading eco-friendly platform which encourages companies to reduce their carbon footprint, Robinson plants one tree for every 75 kilometres that he races. 'I launched DrivenToZero to help offset my footprint from all the travel, all the racing, because motorsport isn't a very sustainable career path. But I'm trying to make it as sustainable as possible,' Robinson told the Khaleej Times. As part of the initiative, Robinson will plant a tree each time he completes a trip from the local airport to the track and as many as six trees for every return flight from the UAE to Germany. 'We've already planted 1,000 trees in Madagascar and Indonesia, and that, I think, roughly equates to about 21,000 kilos of CO₂,' he said. 'So, the plan is to plant 70 more trees this season, on top of the 1000 that have already been planted, just to try and make a difference. I hope that other people can see it and try to contribute as well.' A five-time UAE Karting champion who grew up watching Formula One and Australian V8 Supercars Championships, Robinson wants to carve a niche of his own as a racing driver on the track. Off it, he hopes to become the driving force behind motorsport's sustainability projects. 'I draw a lot of inspiration from the UAE where I began my journey as a racing driver. It's not just the great sporting culture, but the UAE's initiatives for a sustainable world have really inspired me,' said who recently secured his first ADAC GT4 podium finish at Norisring. 'It's a country which has hosted events like the COP28 and launched so many other pioneering green projects. 'All those great initiatives from the UAE have inspired me to use my platform of motorsport responsibly and try to make a difference. Now with every tree we plant, I hope it will encourage more and more people to act responsibly towards the world that we call home.'
