Last week we looked back at the first six months of 2023, and this week, we're completing the year with refresher on the last six months of the year.
We remember the arguments at the UN Security Council over Syrian aid delivery, the release of Patrick Zaki, the deadly wedding fire in Iraq, the COP28 in Dubai, and of course, the deadly Hamas attack of 7 October and the following war in Gaza.
As well as looking back, we look forward to the next 12 months in the Middle East and North Africa, with the help of The New Arab's finest journalists, correspondents, and editors.
