[00:00:00] 19th century, 20th century, and the 21st century. We also see
[00:00:04] that the Palestinian issue, which is at the top
[00:00:07] of these files, is one of
[00:00:10] the reasons that also fuels
[00:00:13] the continuation of tension
[00:00:16] can we rely on the internal and the continuation of the mentality and theory of crisis management, and not
[00:00:19] within the Houthis and on a popular looking for solutions to this crisis. Therefore, we don't see
[00:00:22] any horizon. The
[00:00:25] best thing, instead of continuing military confrontations without
[00:00:29] a decisive outcome, which is very costly for everyone, and also
[00:00:32] the absence of political will to find a comprehensive solution,
[00:00:35] is that the best solution is to have partial agreements
[00:00:39] that can calm things down, hoping that there will be
[00:00:42] changes, because America is still the sole
[00:00:46] superpower on the international
[00:00:49] political scene, and it continues with the same
[00:00:52] approach it had in the seventies and eighties.
[00:00:57] and my guest from However, this is still the case until today. These balances
[00:01:00] may shift in the future, especially with the rise
[00:01:03] and emergence of new economic
[00:01:06] and military powers. Let me turn to you,
[00:01:09] cannot tolerate any Professor Khaled. Professor Khaled, my guest from
[00:01:12] for the legitimate forces fighting on Jerusalem said that what is happening
[00:01:16] Professor Khaled Jamal Al-Nassiri, researcher in is an attempt to involve
[00:01:16] is very dangerous in Saudi Arabia more deeply
[00:01:19] in what is happening in Yemen. Do you think
[00:01:22] should lecture the people. The people were smarter than that the Kingdom might once again shift from a state of confrontation with the Houthis to a state
[00:01:26] of containment, or has this approach been tried
[00:01:30] and failed during the previous
[00:01:31] period?
[00:01:34] Certainly, yes. We, Saudi Arabia,
[00:01:37] in the matter of containing
[00:01:41] I expected the revolution to come from the Houthi militia in the crisis or containing this militia, or attempting to move
[00:01:43] towards a political dialogue
[00:01:46] table that includes
[00:01:49] Iraq soldiers, whether with this militia, as happened in the past,
[00:01:52] but now the situation is different from before. The militias
[00:01:55] have crossed all red lines. This militia has become a threat
[00:02:00] to the region, specifically to Saudi Arabia.
[00:02:03] I mean, if we look now, the hostility of these
[00:02:07] militias in general, I mean, not only the Houthis,
[00:02:10] whether it's the Popular Mobilization Forces militias or other
[00:02:13] that sponsors everything. Israel cannot factions present in Iraq, or Hezbollah in Lebanon, all of them have an ideology
[00:02:17] linked to Iran. There is a war being pushed
[00:02:20] towards transforming a war from a traditional and ordinary war to an ideological
[00:02:24] and doctrinal war by proxy. The Houthi militias
[00:02:28] are trying to drain, strike, and target
[00:02:32] Arab countries, just as the Iranian regime is doing. So, do you think
[00:02:35] in this context, Professor Khaled, do you think
[00:02:39] that if the United States of America
[00:02:43] To you, for the return of this succeeds in overthrowing the Iranian regime, all the knots
[00:02:46] in the region regarding
[00:02:49] geopolitical developments and
[00:02:53] national developments in the areas where
[00:02:58] with Netanyahu's fall in overthrowing the regime. He does not Iranian-affiliated groups are active
[00:03:05] there is a deep division in He wants to benefit from will be untied and resolved? I agree with US Secretary of State Macron when he said that the head
[00:03:08] of the snake is in Tehran. Also, the US Treasury Secretary spoke directly
[00:03:12] that the main supplier
[00:03:14] and operator of these militias is in
[00:03:18] Tehran, the Iranian regime primarily, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,
[00:03:21] as everyone knows, was the one who managed these operations, whether
[00:03:24] in the past in Syria, when it sent these militias to target
[00:03:28] innocent civilians and fight on the fronts of Aleppo and fight on
[00:03:32] the fronts of rural Damascus and other places, in addition to supplying these
[00:03:36] militias with logistical and financial support, and even in
[00:03:40] Iraq now in Yemen. Also, this militia
[00:03:43] draws this support. I mean, now, ground-to-ground cruise missiles
[00:03:47] There will be qualitative projects on the and these drones,
[00:03:49] leaders, which may reach we know that the coup militias in 2015 obtained some
[00:03:53] missiles and some weapons belonging to the Yemeni army, but during this long
[00:03:56] period, is it logical that the strategic stock that this militia has
[00:04:00] of these missiles remained until this
[00:04:02] faithful to the moment despite the battle of Decisive Storm
[00:04:05] and battles that lasted for long periods, almost ten years?
[00:04:08] So, if now
[00:04:11] the primary danger, the primary supplier
[00:04:15] We also see for these, these militias, Mr. Khaled, cannot solely rely on external support.
[00:04:18] All these militias also rely on local manufacturing. There is no doubt
[00:04:22] that they will have
[00:04:26] and several types and patterns factories located and spread in areas under their control that supply them with a large
[00:04:29] portion of the military arsenal
[00:04:32] days in with which they confront both the Yemeni government forces and what they send outside
[00:04:35] their borders. Yes, undoubtedly, there is
[00:04:39] local manufacturing, there are
[00:04:43] military manufacturing camps
[00:04:45] the Houthis, for drones and other things, but not primarily.
[00:04:48] These long-range missiles or missiles that
[00:04:51] target airports are ground-to-ground Scud missiles, primarily.
[00:04:56] whether in our scope, whether in This huge explosion that caused casualties and injuries
[00:05:00] and the destruction of infrastructure at airports is
[00:05:03] something known. We know that in military contexts, and perhaps
[00:05:06] military analysts know this, the targeting by drones
[00:05:10] is somewhat limited compared to a Scud missile or
[00:05:13] a ground-to-ground missile. Yes, it certainly relies on local
[00:05:17] manufacturing, and even in direct connection with militias
[00:05:20] inside Iraq and camps inside the Jurf al-Sakhar area, they are
[00:05:24] imported and transported, smuggled across the Shatt al-Arab and then to
[00:05:27] the Gulf, and this is well-known. It is clear that these militias are still
[00:05:31] dealing. There are many documents proving that
[00:05:35] logistical support and military support are still
[00:05:38] concentrated within these militias, whether Iraqi militias
[00:05:42] or Houthi militias. And primarily, we are now
[00:05:45] seeing that the hierarchical structure of these Houthi
[00:05:48] militias in Iraq, and the direct support and their presence also within tribal areas,
[00:05:52] and they are trying to derive
[00:05:55] some power from these figures, and this has become
[00:05:59] known and recognized. Yes, I move to you,
[00:06:03] Dr. Kadhim. Dr. Kadhim, moving to the broader front,
[00:06:06] which is Iran,
[00:06:09] Jerusalem and Erbil spoke. Jerusalem and Istanbul
[00:06:13] spoke about this point. Do you think that the United States of America is trying
[00:06:16] today to prolong this crisis by
[00:06:19] not overthrowing the Iranian regime or
[00:06:23] not completely crippling it, or
[00:06:25] is Trump trying to wait until after the upcoming
[00:06:29] midterm elections,
[00:06:32] and then he will deliver a devastating blow to Iran,
[00:06:35] as he repeatedly mentioned
[00:06:39] that he will send Iran back to the Stone
[00:06:43] Age, and there will be a strike
[00:06:46] on many vital points, and thereby
[00:06:51] Yemen will end, and the capabilities and dream of Hezbollah
[00:06:55] in Lebanon and the militias that follow
[00:06:59] Iran in
[00:07:01] will also be eliminated? I mean,
[00:07:05] both sides, especially the American side
[00:07:08] in this war, everything is with you.
[00:07:12] Trump is changeable, there are no constants
[00:07:15] with Trump. The only
[00:07:18] constant that perhaps all observers
[00:07:22] understood from Trump is something called a deal.
[00:07:25] When he finds this deal
[00:07:28] ready and available, he will conclude it with any party,
[00:07:32] regardless, without taking into account
[00:07:35] America's allies or
[00:07:38] those close to the United States of America.
[00:07:42] And these deals have happened repeatedly in
[00:07:46] the Middle East region, and even with the Houthi
[00:07:50] group, and there were
[00:07:53] many occasions when the United States of America, especially Trump
[00:07:56] himself, was offering deals to the Iranian
[00:08:00] side. So, when he finds
[00:08:03] the deal ready, he will abandon the idea
[00:08:07] of
[00:08:11] want to overthrow the regime.
[00:08:14] the existing Iranian
[00:08:17] regime in this region, even if it is at the expense
[00:08:21] of the democratic interests of the people
[00:08:25] and the freedom of the people and the calm and stability
[00:08:28] of these people. So he does not want
[00:08:31] all these principles that the world talks about.
[00:08:34] He wants the deal, as we saw
[00:08:38] a few days ago when he concluded a deal with the Russian side.
[00:08:43] So the constant is how
[00:08:45] to choose, at a sensitive time, the appropriate
[00:08:49] deal. However, in the current phase,
[00:08:53] we see that many countries,
[00:08:57] Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and even
[00:09:00] Pakistan and other countries,
[00:09:04] have begun to understand or
[00:09:07] deal with Trump's policies
[00:09:11] at this level of dealing, so they don't give
[00:09:14] him the opportunity
[00:09:18] to take the region for the benefit of all
[00:09:21] US interests.
[00:09:23] So the Mecca agreement
[00:09:27] is very important and came at a very
[00:09:30] important and sensitive time. I'm not saying that the United
[00:09:34] States of America was not present among
[00:09:38] all parties that were seeking to conclude
[00:09:42] such a deal and such an alliance
[00:09:45] between the three concerned parties.
[00:09:48] However, there was a strong will
[00:09:50] from Turkey, Pakistan,
[00:09:53] and Saudi Arabia that imposed itself at this
[00:09:56] sensitive time, creating a new equation
[00:10:00] in this region. So Iran,
[00:10:03] as well as the Houthis, and also
[00:10:06] Israel, perhaps abandoned many
[00:10:09] of its roles in this region.
[00:10:13] In favor of Iranian progress
[00:10:16] and Houthi progress in this
[00:10:19] region, so that the equation of
[00:10:23] dominance over the Gulf returns
[00:10:27] in other ways. So there are Iranian and Houthi
[00:10:30] interests that converge with Israeli
[00:10:33] interests in this region
[00:10:36] in order to regain
[00:10:39] control of the people's capabilities
[00:10:42] and how to extend influence
[00:10:45] and not allow the Houthis to relinquish their
[00:10:49] influence in the Bab al-Mandeb
[00:10:52] region, and also to control or attempt to control
[00:10:55] Saudi national security. So this
[00:10:58] agreement today came at a new stage.
[00:11:02] Saudi Arabia has progressed and is not thinking
[00:11:06] of backing down from achieving its goals, and the
[00:11:10] goals currently set are very clear.
[00:11:13] Therefore, we saw that the United States of America
[00:11:17] tried with statements from
[00:11:20] Trump, "I will think about
[00:11:23] whether
[00:11:25] to strike the Houthis or not,"
[00:11:28] studying the situation, etc. The situation in Saudi Arabia
[00:11:34] decision involving study, review,
[00:11:37] or dialogue. The situation
[00:11:41] Saudi Arabia. It needs proof
[00:11:44] of action on the ground, not to this extent. Dr.
[00:11:48] Kadhim, the Kingdom has long patience and military
[00:11:51] and political capabilities, and it has weight, and it also has
[00:11:55] allies. Let me turn to Dr. Amjad. Dr.
[00:11:58] Amjad, you spoke about a war
[00:12:01] of attrition and attempts to involve regional
[00:12:04] parties in this war in order to also drain them. In your opinion, how long
[00:12:08] will it last, and do you think that after the midterm
[00:12:11] elections, things will not be the same as before the midterm
[00:12:14] elections regarding ending these wars or prolonging
[00:12:17] them? Yes, there are elections
[00:12:21] in Israel on October 7th, on October 27th, in about
[00:12:25] two weeks, and there are also elections in three
[00:12:28] weeks in the state, midterm elections.
[00:12:31] But, I want to add to your guest
[00:12:35] a little while ago that the United States is the one
[00:12:38] do anything without the support of the United
[00:12:42] States, and there are attempts to blackmail Saudi Arabia
[00:12:45] into entering what are called
[00:12:48] the Abraham Accords for normalization.
[00:12:50] Saudi Arabia still
[00:12:54] rejects any normalization with
[00:12:57] Israel without a political solution to the Palestinian issue, and this
[00:13:01] is a position that is credited to it, a firm position since
[00:13:04] many decades. These attempts are what
[00:13:08] we might see as attempts to drag
[00:13:11] it into a war of attrition to weaken it
[00:13:15] so that it makes concessions on this issue. I believe the elections, perhaps
[00:13:18] with the Democrats in control, the situation might change, and also
[00:13:23] the elections, even though indicators so far
[00:13:27] suggest that
[00:13:30] Israeli society.
[00:13:33] I don't think anyone will be able to decide
[00:13:36] the elections at this moment, and there is also a risk
[00:13:39] of a return to military confrontation
[00:13:43] with Iran, and perhaps this will have repercussions
[00:13:46] also with the Yemeni-Saudi file or the Yemeni internal file
[00:13:49] in attempts, perhaps, to play a role in supporting
[00:13:52] Iran if there is a wide-ranging
[00:13:55] military operation led by the United
[00:13:59] States, and Israel is also involved, especially
[00:14:02] since they have obtained a lot of information regarding targeting strategic
[00:14:05] areas and also widespread assassinations
[00:14:08] of hawks, as they claim, from the Iranian
[00:14:11] Revolutionary Guard, and also from
[00:14:14] the Supreme Leader,
[00:14:17] Khamenei's son.
[00:14:20] Perhaps there is something
[00:14:24] being prepared on a large scale.
[00:14:26] We see large military movements, especially
[00:14:30] transport aircraft and also
[00:14:33] supporting aircraft
[00:14:36] in refueling.
[00:14:40] preparations from the American embassy,
[00:14:42] which we noticed, that there is a possibility
[00:14:46] of escalation. All these matters indicate
[00:14:49] that something may be being prepared
[00:14:52] in the next seventy
[00:14:57] the Middle East. Perhaps all of that will primarily
[00:15:01] reflect on one essential point that I want to emphasize: the Houthis
[00:15:04] have factors for survival. If there is a will to eliminate
[00:15:10] there must be a large and
[00:15:14] enormous deployment of capabilities in terms of ground warfare
[00:15:17] and also technological warfare and bombing operations.
[00:15:21] This has been attempted
[00:15:24] for more than eight years and did not
[00:15:27] succeed. So, the matter is not as easy
[00:15:30] as some people think, and also, one must consider that
[00:15:34] entering a war of attrition and a war is a point.
[00:15:43] Yes, this is a point. Let me ask it as a final question to my guest from
[00:15:47] Istanbul, Professor Khaled Jamal Al-Nassiri. Professor Khaled, in
[00:15:50] 30 seconds, if you please,
[00:15:53] divisions
[00:15:56] revolution, because the people in the areas controlled
[00:16:00] by the Houthis are fed up, according
[00:16:02] to many reports, with the actions and practices of the Houthi militia?
[00:16:06] Can we rely on a popular revolution and internal Houthi divisions, given
[00:16:10] what is being said about military capabilities that cannot be underestimated
[00:16:14] in the hands of the Houthis, and also about
[00:16:17] the difficulty of a military battle and a decisive military victory? In
[00:16:20] 30 seconds. Certainly, my dear sir, the famine
[00:16:24] in Sana'a or the areas controlled by the Houthi militia is the greatest
[00:16:27] proof and evidence, in addition to the Houthis resorting to recruiting
[00:16:31] children and sending them to the fronts. There is widespread popular discontent
[00:16:34] within the Houthi-controlled areas,
[00:16:37] and this is also the biggest impetus for a popular uprising
[00:16:41] or movement within these areas controlled
[00:16:44] by the militias, and thus it will be a supporting factor
[00:16:49] the fronts. Thank you very much,
[00:16:53] international relations. You were my guest live from Istanbul. I would also
[00:16:57] like to express my sincere thanks to my guest from Erbil, researcher in Iraqi
[00:17:00] and regional strategic policies, Dr. Kadhim Yawer. Thank you
[00:17:04] very much, Dr. Kadhim. And I also thank my guest from Jerusalem, Dr. of Political
[00:17:07] Science and Public Law, Dr. Amjad Shihab. Thank you very much, Dr.
[00:17:11] Amjad, for your participation. Thank you all, dear viewers,
[00:17:15] and also to my dear guests. We were with you for
[00:17:19] this hour and I accompanied you throughout it to shed light on the latest
[00:17:22] regional developments regarding the American-Israeli-Iranian war and developments inside
[00:17:25] Yemen. In God's
[00:17:27] safety.
[00:18:14] The wheel of production has returned
[00:18:16] in more than three thousand new production lines, with
[00:18:19] growth in agricultural production to achieve self-sufficiency,
[00:18:22] accompanied by remarkable growth in the energy
[00:18:25] and services sectors, and the establishment of real estate projects of nearly two million housing units in
[00:18:29] the next five years.
[00:18:33] Recovery has returned to this wounded country, and with it returns A
[00:18:45] Syria transforms from a crisis tossed by
[00:18:47] nations into an opportunity for good that nations unite for.
[00:19:05] Housing is a system.
[00:19:24] Syrian coast. As we know, our Syrian
[00:19:28] coast is rich in many components, not
[00:19:31] just natural components. We have human components there, and the energies and cadres
[00:19:35] available.
[00:19:39] During our visit to a group of governorates, wherever
[00:19:43] we go, Mashallah, this country has all the principles of investment and investment
[00:19:47] opportunities available, but also
[00:19:49] the welcome from
[00:19:51] officials.
[00:19:57] Or it is the beginning of qualitative projects, projects
[00:20:00] that serve several social classes
[00:20:03] of housing.
[00:20:10] We turned to this huge project in the coastal
[00:20:13] region to increase arrivals to the coastal region to have more
[00:20:17] prosperity. Of course, all governorates have projects that will come
[00:20:21] successively, God willing, all of them are under study, and the project that is being completed
[00:20:24] is being announced
[00:20:25] and signed.
[00:20:30] The investment opportunities available,
[00:20:33] the residential field or the hotel, tourism, or
[00:20:37] therefore, this is a good opportunity that we are with you, and it is a great
[00:20:41] honor.
[00:22:12] His name is Fajr al-Furat for removal, management, and
[00:22:16] debris.
[00:22:22] Our position today in monitoring and evaluation will be to follow
[00:22:26] up on the work on the ground and assess the quantities
[00:22:29] of debris that will be removed.
[00:22:58] God
[00:23:03] is Great,
[00:23:03] God
[00:23:13] is Great. Today, the city of Aleppo is witnessing the re-opening of one
[00:23:17] of its most important historical and archaeological landmarks, thanks to Allah
[00:23:20] Almighty, and then to the efforts of the Governor of Aleppo,
[00:23:24] and the efforts of the heroes who
[00:23:26] established this mosque and restored it to its
[00:23:29] true glory.
[00:23:33] mosque in its new, magnificent
[00:23:35] structure, the gem of Aleppo has shone and been illuminated
[00:23:39] by the grace of Allah Almighty.
[00:23:41] God
[00:24:15] 60 sessions is not just a number,
[00:24:17] but 60 covenants. To keep the Ministry
[00:24:21] of Interior a shield for the people, a support
[00:24:24] for the oppressed, and a protector of the law.
[00:24:37] Today you finish your training, and the real test begins.
[00:24:39] So be men of the positions,
[00:24:43] men of trust, men of responsibility,
[00:24:46] men of hardship, and steadfast
[00:24:50] in upholding rights,
[00:24:52] covenant, defending the principles of justice.
[00:25:57] We call on tanker drivers and all road users
[00:26:01] to adhere to the speed limit.
[00:27:04] Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Al-Ikhbariya
[00:27:07] channel.
[00:27:11] The most painful, painful
[00:27:13] thing for me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel, then talk to me
[00:27:17] about freedom." There should have been a provisional government, a military
[00:27:21] council, a judicial council. No one
[00:27:25] everyone. Based on my family's death, they know that my family is tortured.
[00:27:28] I visited Palmyra after 20 years.
[00:27:32] To prepare for the attempt to overthrow Hafez al-Assad, how

[00:28:50] the compass.
