Arab countries send message of support for a peaceful transition in Syria

A review of the week with the latest news.

The United States has been in direct contact with the Syrian group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which overthrew Bashar al-Assad’s regime a week ago, while foreign ministers from eight Arab countries have held talks in Jordan to discuss the transition process in Syria...
Meanwhile, Israel’s war in Gaza continues and Hamas and Fatah, the two Palestinian political rivals who rule respectively Gaza and the West Bank, hold talks. And we hear from the American singer and three-time Grammy winner Lucinda Williams who is the first major artist, aside from the Fab Four themselves, to record Beatles' songs in the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
Our guests today: Wa'el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage Foundation, an NGO for Muslim Americans, and Jacquelin Magnay, European correspondent for The Australian newspaper.PHOTO CREDIT: Syrian opposition calls for rally in Paris, France / EPA
