2 points to bear in mind about Yoav Gallant: 1. Along with Netanyahu, the ICC prosecutor has called for him to be put on trial (strangely delayed for now) 2. He has been pushing for Gaza to be returned to Palestinian (non-Hamas) control, a plan that Netanyahu has kiboshed

Gallant is respected in the White House. Just one of several reasons why he had to go (Bibi, let’s not forget, isn’t). The timing of his dismissal is no accident: most of the US is too busy staring at its navel.

the Israeli defence forces have just said that there will no longer be military aircraft on a "rescue mission" to Amsterdam. It had been claimed they would leave after the violence in the city last night after the Maccabi/Ajax game

The fate of the Assad regime is in the balance tonight - fighting in Damascus, possible coup attempt - rebel gains in Aleppo, Hama & many other areas of north - Bashar al-Assad may remain in Moscow, although there are suggestions a Russian flight brought him back this evening

These scenes from Syria’s notorious Sednaya Prison will haunt the world, and there’s still many more levels, hidden cells and torture rooms being uncovered. Many traumatised prisoners being freed, including women and children.

Wonderful to see my good friend and BBC colleague, Lina Sinjab, reporting from the streets of her own city after years of exile. Revolutions are enthralling, heady things. What happens afterwards is sometimes less good. We can only hope.

Great piece by Joe Inwood about the Egyptian dive vessel that sank in the Red Sea on 25 November last year, which claimed 11 lives. This is the story of the people who were there, faced death and survived. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

📣 Some news about me: Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love. Journalism is not a crime. Here’s the BBC’s statement:

Well this week has been quite an experience, detained by Turkish police while covering the anti-government protests and deported. Here’s my full story. Do take a read if you can - and thank you to everyone for kind messages and support: bbc.com/news/articles/…
