Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Britain's foreign secretary says Syria can play "a constructive role" in the stalled Middle East peacemaking process.
David Miliband also warns that rocket attacks by the militant Palestinian Hamas group on Israel will hurt Syria's role in the region and diminish chances of achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
Miliband spoke to reporters in Damascus today after holding talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad and Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem.
Miliband is the first senior British official to visit Syria since former Prime Minister Tony Blair's visit in 2001.
Syria is a major player in the Palestinian conflict as it hosts the exiled leaders of radical Palestinian groups, like Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
