What’s next for Syria? Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with Syrian-Lebanese activist Rawan Osman to discuss the fall of Bashar Assad’s regime and the takeover of Syria by Islamist rebel forces.

Is the Middle East entering another dangerous stage of violence and instability or is this the beginning of a new era in the region?
