[00:03:00] and Faisal bin
[00:03:01] Farhan?
[00:03:05] Yes, Yeman. Syrian Foreign Minister

[00:03:25] The Syrian Foreign

[00:03:30] confirmed the full solidarity
[00:03:32] of Saudi Arabia. All this of the Syrian Arab Republic with the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:03:36] Arabia in confronting the shelling and targeting
[00:03:39] of civilian facilities in Saudi
[00:03:43] Arabia by the Houthi militias. He also expressed
[00:03:46] condolences for the victims
[00:03:49] regional state, but of the targeting of Khalid Airport in Riyadh, which
[00:03:53] was targeted by the Houthi militias in the past few days
[00:03:56] and resulted in casualties and deaths
[00:04:00] at that
[00:04:01] the presence of 15 time. Also, the Syrian Foreign
[00:04:04] Minister indicated
[00:04:07] does not allow any local administration that the security of Saudi Arabia
[00:04:09] is largely linked to the security of Syria
[00:04:12] and the region. The two sides stressed joint
[00:04:16] cooperation and mutual
[00:04:18] electricity just because specifically. Can we see in coordination and reaching
[00:04:22] light of these regional developments permanent stability and peace in all parts of the region
[00:04:26] where this conflict or targeting takes place from time to time.
[00:04:30] Thank you for all these details, Amer Al-Aasi,
[00:04:34] by the Houthi group on our correspondent from Damascus.
[00:04:36] For more
[00:04:39] follow-up and analysis, political writer and analyst
[00:04:42] Professor Omar Kush joins us from Istanbul. Professor
[00:04:46] its full solidarity with Omar, welcome. So, Al-Shaibani's call
[00:04:50] to express solidarity
[00:04:50] and other designated with Saudi Arabia and condemn
[00:04:54] the targeting of the Kingdom by the Houthi
[00:04:57] militia, also to offer condolences for the victims
[00:05:00] of the targeting of King Khalid International Airport in
[00:05:03] Riyadh. Syrian-Saudi relations are developing
[00:05:07] day by day, Professor Omar. Where do you
[00:05:09] think they are heading? Will they be limited to
[00:05:12] diplomatic relations and solidarity or where will
[00:05:15] they go? First, good morning to you
[00:05:18] and all viewers. This call indeed
[00:05:22] indicates that the strength
[00:05:25] of the Syrian-Saudi Arab relationship,
[00:05:27] especially, of course, that
[00:05:31] Saudi Arabia's security is indeed being violated by
[00:05:35] the Houthi group, which is loyal to Iran.
[00:05:38] It is clear, of course, that these
[00:05:41] attacks are proxy attacks.
[00:05:44] The evidence for this is that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:05:48] was being shelled by Iran
[00:05:51] with missiles and drones, and also by
[00:05:54] Iran's proxies inside Iraq, of course.
[00:05:57] Now, the operation has moved to
[00:06:01] Yemen, and
[00:06:05] of course, Syria
[00:06:08] will be the first to stand by the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:06:11] Arabia, considering that
[00:06:14] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has truly
[00:06:18] been the first to provide
[00:06:21] aid and also
[00:06:23] has given a lot
[00:06:26] to, of course, Syrians
[00:06:28] after getting rid of the Assad regime. Therefore, in
[00:06:32] my opinion, these relations can also, meaning,
[00:06:37] coordination and also into meeting
[00:06:40] the Kingdom's needs. This means
[00:06:44] militarily and logistically, especially since, of course, Syria
[00:06:47] is located in the heart of the Arab Mashriq region,
[00:06:51] and Iran's proxies, whether in
[00:06:55] Lebanon, Hezbollah and its followers,
[00:07:00] Iraq, the militias loyal to Iran,
[00:07:03] can, of course, Syria, or I mean,
[00:07:06] Syria has a role in this in this field.
[00:07:09] And there is no doubt that the prospects of these
[00:07:12] relations will increase as
[00:07:15] political and security coordination also increases.
[00:07:19] Yes. So, how do you interpret
[00:07:23] the Syrian position, Professor Omar, in light of regional
[00:07:26] and international developments?
[00:07:29] Indeed, Syria has now moved from
[00:07:32] the first stage, which was, in fact,
[00:07:36] consolidating authority and, of course,
[00:07:40] gaining Arab and international recognition,
[00:07:43] to another stage, which is to play
[00:07:47] regional role also falls within the same framework,
[00:07:50] meaning it will not be a disturbing or
[00:07:53] destabilizing role
[00:07:56] for neighboring countries, but rather within the framework of consolidating
[00:07:59] this stability.
[00:08:02] supports this position
[00:08:05] will be a field for the movement
[00:08:09] of Syria's active foreign diplomacy.
[00:08:13] Indeed, the visits made by the Foreign Minister have not
[00:08:16] stopped to various
[00:08:19] capitals, especially Arab capitals,
[00:08:23] of course, and also influential international ones.
[00:08:26] Therefore, in my opinion, this regional
[00:08:29] role, meaning, it
[00:08:31] must also, as much
[00:08:35] as possible, move away from the policy of axes, meaning
[00:08:40] under the defunct Assad regime, within the well-known Iranian
[00:08:43] and Russian axis,
[00:08:46] and therefore,
[00:08:48] Syria will not now, or
[00:08:51] the new Syria, be in an opposing
[00:08:54] axis. Rather, it will have a natural
[00:08:58] role as an influential
[00:09:01] in a direction that balances,
[00:09:04] of course, relations between countries without standing
[00:09:08] with one axis against another. Okay,
[00:09:11] Professor Omar, a few days ago, President
[00:09:14] Al-Shara visited Riyadh, and this call
[00:09:17] and the condemnations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
[00:09:20] Can the situation
[00:09:23] develop, meaning, here we want to talk about the Mecca
[00:09:27] alliance
[00:09:30] the coming days Syria joining the Mecca alliance in
[00:09:35] in the region?
[00:09:37] No, Professor Omar,
[00:09:40] did you hear
[00:09:46] me? Okay, Professor Omar, a few days ago, President Ahmed Al-Shara
[00:09:50] visited Riyadh, and today we see
[00:09:53] a phone call from Al-Shaibani
[00:09:56] to Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan, and the condemnations by the Ministry
[00:10:00] of Foreign Affairs of the Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:10:03] Arabia. These relations and developments, can
[00:10:06] they lead to or develop
[00:10:10] into Syria joining Mecca in light of these regional
[00:10:13] developments, in your opinion?
[00:10:16] In my opinion, these contacts and, of course,
[00:10:20] especially the visit made by President
[00:10:23] Al-Shara to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, indicate
[00:10:27] that the security of Saudi Arabia, and what
[00:10:31] is being plotted against Saudi Arabia, Syria
[00:10:34] will stand by its side, and
[00:10:38] what the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requests
[00:10:41] will indeed be subject to study and attention,
[00:10:45] and it will also be among the priorities
[00:10:49] of Syria to be with the Kingdom against, of course, these
[00:10:52] attacks and against any threat to its security. But
[00:10:56] will the issue, of course, be related
[00:10:59] to Syria joining the Mecca alliance
[00:11:02] or the Mecca coalition? In my opinion, this
[00:11:06] must be studied, and
[00:11:10] there can be, meaning, not
[00:11:12] a full membership, but there can be forms of
[00:11:18] and cooperation between Syria and, of course, this
[00:11:23] defense alliance. It is important
[00:11:26] for Syria to also have, of course, a real deterrent
[00:11:30] force against, especially, Israeli attacks,
[00:11:32] and also, from another perspective,
[00:11:36] Syria will be loyal to the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:11:39] Arabia and to the truly distinguished relations
[00:11:43] between it and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
[00:11:46] But the issue of joining must
[00:11:49] indeed, meaning, have conditions and also
[00:11:53] requirements, especially since
[00:11:56] Syria is now, in fact, still
[00:12:00] in the process of rebuilding all that the regime destroyed and
[00:12:04] what the former Assad regime destroyed, especially
[00:12:07] with regard to the military establishment.
[00:12:11] The military establishment is still in the process of rebuilding
[00:12:14] and restructuring, and it needs a lot.
[00:12:17] Therefore, joining
[00:12:20] will indeed not be in the military sense,
[00:12:24] but there can be frameworks, as I said, or there
[00:12:28] can be mechanisms, in fact, for example,
[00:12:32] if we consider some international
[00:12:35] institutions, some countries do not join
[00:12:38] them, but they find relationships or
[00:12:41] ways to coordinate or cooperate with them. And this,
[00:12:45] in my opinion, is the closest thing to what is proposed
[00:12:48] for Syria with the Mecca alliance, not the issue of joining.
[00:12:51] I believe it is not in Syria's interest now to
[00:12:55] join militarily, in the military
[00:12:57] sense, with an alliance or
[00:13:00] the Mecca alliance. We
[00:13:03] know that Israel, in fact,
[00:13:07] is a factor of instability and a factor that,
[00:13:10] in fact, seeks to undermine
[00:13:13] everything that the new authority is trying
[00:13:16] to build. And
[00:13:20] Syria cannot, of course, remain silent about
[00:13:23] all these Israeli aggressions. Therefore, the Mecca
[00:13:27] alliance can provide support or
[00:13:31] a deterrent against Israeli aggression, but
[00:13:34] not in the military sense, because now,
[00:13:37] in fact,
[00:13:41] are, whether the American-Israeli-Iranian
[00:13:44] war, or the war that,
[00:13:47] of course, the legitimate government
[00:13:50] is also waging against the Houthis, and the Houthi
[00:13:53] aggressions against the Kingdom
[00:13:57] escalation, it is not in Syria's interest to
[00:14:01] be a factor or part of this escalation.
[00:14:03] Thank you very much, writer and political analyst Omar
[00:14:07] Kush, our guest from Istanbul.
[00:14:10] Thank you. The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation
[00:14:14] announced the death of a Pakistani resident and the injury
[00:14:17] of 11 people in a new Houthi
[00:14:20] attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh yesterday,
[00:14:24] Sunday. The Authority confirmed in a statement that
[00:14:27] King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was subjected to an attack,
[00:14:31] and this is in light of the ongoing attacks targeting
[00:14:34] civil aviation facilities in the Kingdom, explaining that
[00:14:38] work is ongoing to complete the assessment of damages
[00:14:42] and verify the safety
[00:14:44] of facilities.
[00:14:49] Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey issued a joint
[00:14:53] statement
[00:14:55] condemning the continuous attacks
[00:14:59] Saudi Arabia, especially the targeting of King Khalid
[00:15:02] International Airport, describing it as a blatant
[00:15:05] violation of international law. The group affirmed
[00:15:11] Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures
[00:15:14] and steps it takes to confront
[00:15:17] these attacks and prevent their recurrence,
[00:15:20] holding the Houthi group fully responsible
[00:15:23] for these actions and their consequences,
[00:15:27] and for threatening regional and international
[00:15:29] peace and security, and demanding
[00:15:33] their immediate and unconditional
[00:15:35] cessation.
[00:15:42] In addition, the diplomatic advisor to the President of the UAE,
[00:15:45] Anwar Gargash, affirmed that targeting Saudi Arabia
[00:15:48] undermines the security of the UAE and all Gulf countries,
[00:15:52] stressing the importance of reviving joint
[00:15:57] the security and defense fields.
[00:16:00] Gargash said in a tweet on the X platform
[00:16:04] countries is indivisible, and that strengthening
[00:16:08] the collective security system is a necessity
[00:16:13] considering that negligence in this aspect allowed
[00:16:16] the violation of Gulf
[00:16:19] a shared responsibility that cannot tolerate
[00:16:21] complacency or delay.
[00:16:28] Saudi Energy Minister Abdul Aziz bin Salman affirmed that the Kingdom
[00:16:31] has proven its ability to ensure the reliability of energy
[00:16:35] supplies, continue investment, and prepare
[00:16:39] to face various circumstances
[00:16:41] and challenges. He pointed out that Riyadh has become today
[00:16:45] a global energy security capital, and that
[00:16:49] to fulfilling its obligations and keen to
[00:16:53] enhance the reliability of energy supplies in all
[00:16:56] circumstances. He explained that the East-West pipeline
[00:17:00] confirms this fact and embodies
[00:17:03] the Kingdom's foresight in enhancing the flexibility
[00:17:06] of the energy system, as it provides
[00:17:09] an alternative route for transporting supplies to global
[00:17:13] markets via Yanbu on the Red
[00:17:16] Sea.
[00:17:22] Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed his country's
[00:17:25] readiness to help initiate talks between
[00:17:28] Saudi Arabia and the Houthis during a phone call
[00:17:32] with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan.
[00:17:35] For its part, the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated
[00:17:39] that Araqchi expressed concern during the call
[00:17:42] about escalating tensions,
[00:17:46] a military approach and ignoring the political solution
[00:17:49] would further complicate the current situation.
[00:18:04] Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed with the deputy
[00:18:08] commander of the army in Benghazi, Saddam Khalifa Haftar,
[00:18:11] the file of missing Syrians in Libya during an official
[00:18:15] visit to the Libyan city of Benghazi.
[00:18:18] According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
[00:18:21] during the meeting, ways to
[00:18:24] issues of common interest were discussed, especially the opening
[00:18:28] of the Syrian consulate in Benghazi
[00:18:31] and a number of joint security files between
[00:18:34] the two sides, in addition to following up
[00:18:37] on missing Syrian citizens in
[00:18:41] Libya.
[00:18:47] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a consultative
[00:18:51] workshop in Damascus to develop a national
[00:18:54] approach to address hate speech
[00:18:57] with the participation of relevant parties and technical facilitation
[00:19:01] from experts from the office of the Special Envoy of the
[00:19:04] United Nations Secretary-General to Syria.
[00:19:07] with suspicion and mounting fear, while
[00:19:10] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with all
[00:19:14] government bodies in Syria, has worked
[00:19:17] to rid Syria of these remnants of the chemical
[00:19:20] weapons era of the Assad regime and the weapons
[00:19:23] it left behind. These priorities are laid out before
[00:19:27] our people. The goal is to bring Syria to the form that
[00:19:30] its people deserve. In this regard, we now
[00:19:33] observe the presence
[00:19:36] of unregulated speech that is inconsistent
[00:19:40] with the principles of the Syrian people and inconsistent
[00:19:42] with the values that the Syrian people represent
[00:19:46] and reject fundamentally. Transforming this
[00:19:50] popular sentiment into
[00:19:53] a controlled governance framework is the
[00:19:56] goal of the effort that begins with today's workshop,
[00:20:00] and it does not begin and end in one workshop,
[00:20:03] but rather it is a path that began previously through
[00:20:07] many national bodies, including the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Justice. However,
[00:20:11] now placing it within a unified effort to achieve a more
[00:20:14] consistent and organized process between government
[00:20:17] bodies, national agencies and ministries. We look
[00:20:21] forward to our discussions today helping us.
[00:20:24] The Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations to Syria, Claudio
[00:20:27] Cordone, said in an interview with Syria TV that
[00:20:30] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' initiative paves
[00:20:34] the way for developing an action plan to combat hate speech.
[00:20:50] a step in developing an action plan
[00:20:53] against hate speech in Syria. So today
[00:20:57] we have some
[00:21:00] experts from several ministries,
[00:21:03] and at the end of the day, we will
[00:21:08] the future. As I said, this
[00:21:12] initiative also needs to include civil
[00:21:15] society, religious leaders, and media
[00:21:18] outlets. So there's a wide
[00:21:22] range for developing this plan.
[00:21:26] So this is the first plan, and God willing, we will reach
[00:21:29] an action plan, and this
[00:21:32] will make Syria
[00:21:36] the Arab world to have this plan.
[00:21:50] The Syrian Petroleum Company announced that 15 tankers
[00:21:54] loaded with petroleum derivatives are currently
[00:21:57] in waiting areas to complete entry
[00:22:00] and unloading procedures through Syrian ports and terminals.
[00:22:04] The Syrian Oil Company clarified in a statement
[00:22:07] to SANA news agency that among the tankers are
[00:22:11] six tankers loaded with diesel
[00:22:15] and nine tankers loaded with gasoline, noting that
[00:22:19] these supplies come within the framework of continuous efforts
[00:22:22] to secure the needs of the local market and enhance the availability
[00:22:26] of petroleum products.
[00:22:32] For more details, our Syria TV correspondent
[00:22:36] Lynn Jabbara joins us from Tartous. Lynn, welcome. Can
[00:22:39] you give us the
[00:22:41] news?
[00:22:45] Yes, Iman. The Syrian Petroleum
[00:22:48] Company signed an agreement
[00:22:51] with the Saudi company
[00:22:54] Aramco for importing petroleum products.
[00:22:57] Of course,
[00:23:02] 15 tankers in Syrian ports
[00:23:05] awaiting their turn to complete
[00:23:08] unloading
[00:23:11] oil terminals. Of course, these procedures
[00:23:14] take time
[00:23:18] the shipments of petroleum products
[00:23:22] and their compliance with accredited standard
[00:23:28] density, sulfur level, and other accredited
[00:23:32] specifications to ensure their compliance with these
[00:23:35] specifications. And, of course,
[00:23:38] the tankers include six
[00:23:41] diesel tankers and nine
[00:23:45] gasoline tankers to supply the local
[00:23:48] market and enhance the availability of petroleum products in the local
[00:23:51] market. Of course, this process comes
[00:23:54] in light of a real
[00:23:58] crisis in gasoline, meaning
[00:24:00] a crisis in the quality of the product. So,
[00:24:03] as the Syrian Petroleum Company explained,
[00:24:07] it is working on diversifying
[00:24:10] the sources of imported petroleum products.
[00:24:14] Most of the petroleum products that were imported
[00:24:18] came from Russia. But now,
[00:24:22] work is being done to diversify the sources of importing
[00:24:25] these products. Okay, Lynn, for more,
[00:24:29] clarification, are these shipments
[00:24:32] coming through or sourced from Aramco
[00:24:35] Saudi Arabia? Frankly, the Syrian Petroleum
[00:24:39] Company's statements did not clarify this matter sufficiently,
[00:24:43] but it is clear that this agreement
[00:24:47] came in parallel with
[00:24:51] tankers in Syrian ports. The source of
[00:24:55] these, meaning, these tankers currently in the ports awaiting
[00:24:59] their turn to unload has not been specified,
[00:25:02] but it is expected that these
[00:25:06] tankers are part
[00:25:08] of the agreement concluded between the Syrian Petroleum Company and Aramco.
[00:25:12] Okay, Lynn, if you have information, where is it
[00:25:15] possible that these shipments will
[00:25:17] be unloaded in which Syrian ports?
[00:25:21] Yes, these shipments arrive via Syrian ports by sea
[00:25:25] and are unloaded at the oil terminals
[00:25:27] in Baniyas refinery
[00:25:31] and, meaning, the Baniyas refinery terminal, and then
[00:25:34] these derivatives are distributed
[00:25:38] to fuel stations
[00:25:40] locations to supply the local market. When,
[00:25:44] chronologically, are these expected to enter these terminals
[00:25:48] or Syrian ports?
[00:25:50] Frankly, the exact timeline has not been announced.
[00:25:54] This information is currently unavailable
[00:25:57] due to the Syrian Petroleum Company not specifying
[00:26:00] the precise timeframe for supplying the market
[00:26:04] with these materials. However, it is
[00:26:07] expected, within
[00:26:10] a few months, that it will
[00:26:13] significantly strengthen the local market. Thank you for all this
[00:26:17] information, Lina Jabbara, Syria TV correspondent, you were with
[00:26:21] us from Tartous.
[00:26:24] The Central Bank of Syria announced the execution of the first
[00:26:28] letter of credit in 14 years to finance a deal
[00:26:31] to supply oil products from Saudi Aramco to the Syrian
[00:26:35] Petroleum Company.
[00:26:37] The bank explained that the execution of the letter of credit was done
[00:26:41] in coordination with a major American bank, with the aim
[00:26:45] of securing the necessary banking instrument to finance
[00:26:47] the deal and settle the related commercial
[00:26:51] operations. It pointed out that
[00:26:53] the step aims to support the continuity of oil supplies
[00:26:57] and meet the needs of the local market
[00:27:00] and enhance the management of strategic purchases through
[00:27:04] official banking channels. For its part, the Syrian
[00:27:08] Petroleum Company stated that the Central Bank's measure
[00:27:11] is an important development in the mechanisms of financing
[00:27:14] oil supplies and facilitating
[00:27:17] commercial transactions.
[00:27:22] The General Authority for Ports and Customs
[00:27:25] announced the execution of maintenance and repair work
[00:27:28] for 23 ships in Baniyas port since
[00:27:32] the beginning of the current year, including structural
[00:27:36] and mechanical repairs and maintenance of engines
[00:27:39] and technical equipment, in addition to technical modifications
[00:27:43] to some ships. The authority pointed to the continuation
[00:27:47] of work on developing Baniyas port and raising
[00:27:50] its operational readiness, improving its services,
[00:27:53] and providing the necessary facilities for the movement
[00:27:57] of ships and oil tankers to support maritime
[00:28:00] transport activity and contribute to serving the Syrian economy.
[00:28:16] Al-Hasakah Media Directorate reported that the so-called
[00:28:19] "Revolutionary Youth" kidnapped a young man from his workplace
[00:28:23] on Street 60 in the Ghweiran neighborhood in Al-Hasakah city
[00:28:26] after impersonating security personnel.
[00:28:29] The Directorate clarified that the kidnapping of the young
[00:28:33] man, Mohammed Mahmoud Hassan, aged 27,
[00:28:37] came against the backdrop of his participation in demonstrations demanding
[00:28:40] the raising of the Syrian flag and the establishment of security
[00:28:44] and state sovereignty, noting that the kidnappers
[00:28:47] fired between his feet while he was
[00:28:50] resisting, and assaulted him with beating and humiliation,
[00:28:54] and threatened him with liquidation.
[00:28:56] The Directorate added that the kidnappers handed over
[00:29:00] the young man to the organized crime unit
[00:29:03] of the Asayish before he was released through the efforts
[00:29:06] of the internal security forces and
[00:29:09] the regional administration.
[00:29:16] Some owners and tenants of shops in the city
[00:29:19] of Al-Bab in the Aleppo countryside organized a protest
[00:29:22] in objection to the imposition of a tax on the re-paving
[00:29:25] of the market street with amounts they described
[00:29:29] as large and linking it to providing shops
[00:29:32] with electricity.
[00:29:34] It's for God, it's for God, it's for God, not for authority or prestige.
[00:29:37] No to authority. They closed the street for two and a half months.
[00:29:41] They left people stranded for two and a half months. After he came, he gave you a paper and said you have
[00:29:45] to pay the money within a week, and now there is no electricity,
[00:29:49] and he started threatening that I am
[00:29:52] displaced, and the owner of my shop has cancer and lives in Saudi Arabia.
[00:29:55] He doesn't pay, and I can't pay. Who will pay for the electricity now?
[00:29:59] Paving the streets of the area is a good deed, but this
[00:30:02] work must be lawful, and collecting money must be done
[00:30:06] lawfully. Local Administration Law No. 107
[00:30:09] to impose taxes except by law from the prime minister,
[00:30:13] and collecting taxes in this way is incorrect. No one has the right
[00:30:17] to deprive someone of
[00:30:20] you. Today, I'm paying you money for
[00:30:24] this asphalt, and this is known in all countries of the world.
[00:30:28] You can pay in installments. Even Al-Bab has other projects.
[00:30:31] These projects are installments over a year
[00:30:42] or more. Okay, I'll pay for the asphalt. I paid. It's fine, but I don't own it.
[00:30:46] And my Lord facilitates the tenants, my neighbors,
[00:30:49] 20% of the tenants, by God, a dirham, they stopped
[00:30:52] the shops. First, the street was closed for two months. Second,
[00:30:56] they worked on illegal matters, so they linked
