[00:03:41] Syria will be represented at the need for camps by providing conditions that
[00:03:44] allow people to return effectively
[00:03:47] and sustainably. Families need safe homes, they need
[00:03:51] schools, hospitals, job opportunities, livelihoods,
[00:03:54] protection services,
[00:03:57] by the Syrian authorities to conduct investigations into and demining. And most importantly, humanitarian, development,
[00:04:00] and financial partners should work together
[00:04:03] and with the government to meet these basic needs
[00:04:06] and to meet
[00:04:08] on the twelfth of August humanitarian needs as much
[00:04:10] of the current year as possible. The goal is not only to help
[00:04:13] families return, but to help them stay
[00:04:18] interventions and rebuild their lives. Madam President, the humanitarian response plan and needs
[00:04:23] that this for 2026 are funded
[00:04:25] Captagon pills, in addition to a quantity of by only 32%.
[00:04:28] It is not surprising that this

[00:05:06] of articles in The opportunity in Syria
[00:05:10] is real, but without
[00:05:12] investment, we may miss this opportunity.
[00:05:15] Madam
[00:05:17] President,
[00:05:19] my requests are clear.
[00:05:22] First, sustainable humanitarian funding
[00:05:25] and support for the most vulnerable.
[00:05:29] Millions still rely on life-saving assistance,
[00:05:32] and winter is fast approaching.
[00:05:35] Second, we must invest in the Syrian people
[00:05:39] and lasting solutions, including
[00:05:42] the "No Camps, No Mines" initiatives
[00:05:45] launched by
[00:05:49] basic services and the necessary conditions for sustainable
[00:05:52] return. And we must invest in an economy
[00:05:55] that offers Syrians a stable
[00:05:58] future. Finally, we must protect Syria
[00:06:02] from renewed instability and preserve the progress already
[00:06:05] made, for the Syrian people deserve a chance to
[00:06:09] survive, but also to rebuild and prosper.
[00:06:13] We must not miss this opportunity.
[00:06:16] Thank you.
[00:06:20] Thank you to Mr.
[00:06:22] Yahya for this
[00:06:25] ال
[00:06:28] statement. The floor is now open to Mr. George Battah. Madam
[00:06:32] President, thank you for this opportunity to address
[00:06:36] the Council. My name is George Battah, and I am
[00:06:39] the founder of the Syrian Youth
[00:06:43] Empowerment Organization, an organization we established in 2016 by
[00:06:47] Syrian students and refugees in the United States. We
[00:06:50] founded this organization on a simple belief:
[00:06:54] education is a personal opportunity, but it is also a cornerstone
[00:06:57] of a peaceful, prosperous,
[00:07:01] We have helped more than
[00:07:04] 400 Syrian students access higher education. We have also
[00:07:08] contributed to raising more than 90 million dollars in scholarships
[00:07:12] to leading universities in 12
[00:07:16] countries, including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, the University
[00:07:19] of British Columbia, and Cornell. These students are not just
[00:07:22] scholarship recipients. They are doctors,
[00:07:26] engineers, teachers,
[00:07:28] and future
[00:07:32] the generation that will help rebuild Syria. For more than
[00:07:36] 14 years, the Syrian people have suffered from war,
[00:07:39] displacement, destruction, and immense losses. The Assad regime
[00:07:43] destroyed communities and the education infrastructure,
[00:07:50] of Syrians to seek refuge in countries
[00:07:53] around the world, like myself. But this did not destroy
[00:07:57] the determination of the Syrian people, nor did it destroy our commitment
[00:08:01] to education, nor did it erase Syria's history,
[00:08:06] the world. I am proud to address you today from
[00:08:09] Damascus, after 14 years away from my family,
[00:08:13] my country, and my people. And I can tell
[00:08:17] the country there is excellent energy.
[00:08:19] So
[00:08:23] dear viewers, we have been following the Security Council session dedicated to discussing
[00:08:27] developments in Syria. We will continue with
[00:08:30] you during the news bulletin to follow the proceedings of this
[00:08:34] session and the most important developments so far. The Deputy
[00:08:37] Special Envoy of the United Nations
[00:08:40] to Syria said that
[00:08:44] available opportunities for Syria must be translated into sustainable
[00:08:47] support for its recovery.
[00:08:50] He also confirmed that
[00:08:53] the annual meetings of the World Bank
[00:08:56] and the International Monetary Fund. He confirmed that
[00:08:59] food prices have increased by 30% after
[00:09:03] the increase in fuel prices in Syria.
[00:09:06] He also welcomed the announcement
[00:09:09] the incident, and that it is important
[00:09:11] to avoid retaliatory operations,
[00:09:15] referring to what happened last month regarding the killing of a number of members
[00:09:19] of the Alawite community, according to
[00:09:22] the Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations in Homs,
[00:09:25] after attacking a bus. As
[00:09:28] for the Israeli
[00:09:31] in southern Syria, Claudio
[00:09:34] Cordone, Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations to
[00:09:38] Syria, said that Israel continuously carries out
[00:09:42] bombing operations, incursions, and arrests in southern
[00:09:45] Syria. He added that Israel killed a person near
[00:09:48] an Israeli site in the Quneitra countryside,
[00:09:52] and that there are currently
[00:09:54] 49 Syrians who are still detained
[00:09:59] These are the most prominent
[00:10:02] points that came out of the Security
[00:10:04] Council session on discussing
[00:10:07] developments in Syria, which we will continue to
[00:10:11] follow, dear viewers. We now move
[00:10:14] to follow the news of this
[00:10:18] evening, where the Syria TV correspondent reported that
[00:10:22] an Israeli military force kidnapped a young man from the village of Rasem
[00:10:25] Sand in the Quneitra countryside after its incursion into the area.
[00:10:28] The correspondent stated that an Israeli
[00:10:31] occupation army patrol, including more than six military vehicles loaded
[00:10:35] with soldiers, infiltrated south of Arbid town in the southern Quneitra countryside.
[00:10:39] The area also witnessed incursions by occupation forces towards
[00:10:42] the towns of Qodna, Rasem Sand, Briqa,
[00:10:45] and
[00:10:47] Bir Ajam.
[00:10:55] The Syria TV correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation army carried out
[00:10:59] bombing operations in Jabal al-Sheikh in the western Damascus countryside.
[00:11:30] A delegation of People's Assembly members visited the Quneitra
[00:11:34] governorate in an official visit, the first of its kind, that included a number of archaeological
[00:11:37] and service sites, including the archaeological Khan
[00:11:41] Arnaba and the Golan Hospital, in addition to meetings with the residents
[00:11:44] to learn about the service and living conditions and the needs
[00:11:48] of the governorate's residents, in a step that reflects the delegation's solidarity
[00:11:52] with them and its concern for their conditions.
[00:11:59] All governorates. So, for sure, we, as members of parliament, as members
[00:12:02] of the People's Assembly, came today with my colleagues in the People's Assembly to affirm that
[00:12:06] we are true representatives of this city,
[00:12:09] and the city is an integral part of Syria, and we reject
[00:12:13] any form of Israeli incursion that is happening in
[00:12:16] this city. Our presence
[00:12:19] and our upcoming legislations will hopefully be in the interest of
[00:12:22] this region, concerning the unity
[00:12:26] the full rights
[00:12:31] the Israeli aggression, that they are a right for Syrians, God willing.
[00:12:33] تعالى
[00:12:42] Of course, our message is to say that we are in Quneitra.
[00:12:46] We are here, rooted in our homeland.
[00:12:49] We are humane, patriotic,
[00:12:52] Arab, even nationalist. We love humanity. We prohibit
[00:12:55] aggression from us, and we prohibit aggression against us. This is our constitution,
[00:12:59] and this is our principle. We say
[00:13:01] that we build bridges of trust and love among all segments of the Syrian people,
[00:13:05] and we specifically mention the people of Quneitra governorate,
[00:13:08] the Quneitra of pride and dignity, the Quneitra of honor, dignity,
[00:13:12] and martyrs. May God accept their martyrs and heal their wounded.
[00:13:15] We ask God Almighty to spread goodness,
[00:13:18] peace, and security throughout our dear homeland.
[00:13:21] We say that we are from you and to you, people of Quneitra governorate.
[00:13:25] We are your brothers, we love you in God, and we say that we are with you
[00:13:28] hand in hand for the good of the country
[00:13:31] and its people.
[00:13:38] The Internal Security Directorate in Hasaka city announced the prohibition of
[00:13:42] carrying weapons and moving with them inside the city, and the prohibition of firing shots
[00:13:46] for any reason. The Directorate also emphasized restricting
[00:13:49] weapons to official security and military forces during their duties
[00:13:53] in the governorate. The Directorate said that violators
[00:13:56] of the decision will face strict measures,
[00:13:59] including confiscation of weapons and taking legal action
[00:14:03] against them, urging residents to cooperate with security
[00:14:06] forces and report any
[00:14:08] violations.
[00:14:13] Mine clearers from the Ministry of Defense began removing war remnants
[00:14:17] and unexploded ordnance in the village of
[00:14:20] Al-Hamamiyat and its surroundings in the Hama countryside, with the aim of reducing
[00:14:24] the risks that threaten the safety of residents.
[00:14:27] Days ago, the village witnessed
[00:14:30] a protest by residents demanding
[00:14:33] the removal of war remnants scattered in their areas,
[00:14:37] after a child was injured in a severe explosion after
[00:14:40] one of the mines
[00:14:41] exploded.
[00:14:49] Yasser Al-Rouh, Syria TV correspondent in Hama countryside, joins me.
[00:14:52] Welcome, Yasser. What are the details
[00:14:55] of removing war
[00:14:57] remnants?
[00:15:01] Yes, Hussam. Indeed, today in the Hama countryside,
[00:15:04] specifically in the village of Al-Hamamiyat, which
[00:15:08] a camp for the overthrown regime forces,
[00:15:12] the village residents, all of them,
[00:15:16] were outside the village, and the entire village
[00:15:19] was a camp for the regime forces. And there were,
[00:15:23] يعني, many mines, or a network
[00:15:27] the fields and homes. Of course, Hussam, last
[00:15:30] year, there was a wide campaign in the Hama
[00:15:34] countryside to remove mines, but this village, since it was
[00:15:38] like this, some mines remained under the rubble,
[00:15:41] the rubble of homes and some small lands. Today, the Ministry
[00:15:45] of Defense and the Engineering Battalion in the Ministry of Defense began removing
[00:15:48] these mines within the neighborhoods and homes
[00:15:52] nearby in this town. Of course,
[00:15:56] this campaign came, Hussam,
[00:15:59] the residents and protests after a number of mines exploded
[00:16:02] among the residents of the village. Today,
[00:16:06] the last of them was the child Akram, who died
[00:16:09] from his injuries when a mine
[00:16:12] exploded. There were, according to residents, six cases
[00:16:15] after mines were removed from last year until
[00:16:18] today. And, the last of them was the child Akram,
[00:16:21] who died and his injuries were severe.
[00:16:24] The mine led to the amputation of his
[00:16:28] limbs, his hands
[00:16:30] and
[00:16:33] foot. And there were severe injuries to his face
[00:16:36] and eyes. He died from his injuries.
[00:16:39] The village revolted, days ago, with a protest,
[00:16:42] and demanded that the concerned authorities remove the mines.
[00:16:46] Today, the residents of the Hama countryside are returning
[00:16:49] to, returning from the camps
[00:16:52] to their cities and villages, specifically in the town
[00:16:56] of Al-Hamamiyat. Many farmers have not been able to
[00:16:59] cultivate their lands due to the mines. There are also
[00:17:04] residents, who have not been able to renovate their homes due to the presence
[00:17:08] of, yani, mines under the rubble. Today, this
[00:17:11] campaign began in the town of Al-Hamamiyat and will continue until tomorrow
[00:17:15] to remove all mines inside the village.
[00:17:18] Thank you, Yasser Al-Rouh, Syria TV correspondent in Hama
[00:17:21] countryside.
[00:17:25] The Internal Security Command in Tartous governorate announced
[00:17:28] the discovery of a weapons and ammunition cache in a mountainous
[00:17:32] area in the Qadmous region. The Command clarified that the seized
[00:17:36] items, which were found during search
[00:17:39] and sweep operations carried out by security forces in the area,
[00:17:42] included a 12.7 mm machine gun
[00:17:45] and various ammunition,
[00:17:49] in addition to military uniforms from the remnants of the overthrown
[00:17:53] regime.
[00:17:59] The Homs Anti-Narcotics Branch thwarted an attempt to smuggle and promote
[00:18:03] a shipment of narcotics coming from Lebanon. The
[00:18:06] Anti-Narcotics Department said that it carried out a preemptive
[00:18:10] operation that resulted in the arrest of two main
[00:18:13] smugglers. It also resulted in the seizure of 250,000
[00:18:17] Captagon pills and 250 grams of
[00:18:21] marijuana. According to the department, the seized
[00:18:24] items and arrested individuals were referred to the competent
[00:18:26] judiciary.
[00:18:30] The operation came after a report from one of the field observers about a suspicious
[00:18:34] car entering the abandoned Mazal area.
[00:18:38] Through the guidance of reconnaissance units, we
[00:18:41] tracked the mentioned car and directed
[00:18:44] our units after obtaining a judicial arrest warrant.
[00:18:47] After the arrest operation, we found inside the car
[00:18:51] a quantity of narcotic substances estimated at approximately 5,000 Captagon
[00:18:54] pills. After taking the car occupants and the arrested individual to the branch
[00:18:57] and bringing in the K9 unit, we found inside a spare
[00:19:01] tire a quantity prepared for promotion or
[00:19:04] for smuggling it outside Homs.
[00:19:07] The total quantity was estimated at approximately a quarter of a million
[00:19:11] Captagon pills. The presence of Homs and its location inside
[00:19:15] the Syrian interior makes it a transit, smuggling,
[00:19:18] and packaging
[00:19:19] hub.
[00:19:23] Anwar Abu Al-Walid, Syria TV correspondent in Homs, joins me. Welcome, Anwar.
[00:19:27] So, a new thwarting by the Anti-Narcotics
[00:19:30] Branch of a drug shipment
[00:19:33] entering Syria from Lebanon.
[00:19:37] Details about thwarting this shipment.
[00:19:41] Yes, Hussam. Indeed, a new security operation was carried out by the
[00:19:44] Anti-Narcotics Branch here in Homs. This is not the first of its kind, but
[00:19:48] it is considered one of the largest operations
[00:19:51] recently through which a large quantity
[00:19:55] of Captagon pills was seized and confiscated. The number of confiscated
[00:19:58] pills reached 250,000
[00:20:03] hashish or marijuana.
[00:20:07] Of course, this quantity was tracked
[00:20:10] coming from Lebanon initially, and there was close monitoring
[00:20:14] of who would receive it from drug
[00:20:17] trafficking gangs. There were two individuals who were pursued
[00:20:20] by the security agencies that also caught them red-handed
[00:20:24] transporting it from the place where
[00:20:27] they received it at the Syrian-Lebanese border until
[00:20:31] their attempt to store it inside
[00:20:33] the spare tire
[00:20:37] and placing it inside the car in case of incidents on the road, but
[00:20:40] the anti-narcotics branch forces were faster and arrived at the location
[00:20:44] where they were carrying out this operation in one of the abandoned
[00:20:47] farms on the road between
[00:20:50] the Syrian-Lebanese border and Homs governorate. They were tracked and arrested
[00:20:54] red-handed. They are now under investigation to reach others from these
[00:20:58] gangs that have recently become active intensively in Homs governorate,
[00:21:01] perhaps for several reasons. The administration said that one of the most important of
[00:21:05] these reasons is the location of Homs
[00:21:09] the long and complex Syrian-Lebanese border
[00:21:12] with difficult geographical terrain that enables smuggling
[00:21:16] gangs to continue trying to smuggle such materials across these borders. Of course.
[00:21:22] But also on the other hand, there were
[00:21:26] weapons from Syria to Lebanon, but drugs are usually smuggled
[00:21:30] in the opposite direction, from Lebanon to
[00:21:33] Syria, which with its governorates, especially
[00:21:37] Homs, has become a stop for delivering these materials,
[00:21:40] not only to the Syrian interior, but also
[00:21:43] to neighboring countries, as happened in previous operations. There were
[00:21:46] arrests of a number of those affiliated with these
[00:21:50] gangs, who were of other nationalities, perhaps
[00:21:53] non-Syrian, such as Lebanese and Iraqi nationalities, and others. Therefore, they are organized
[00:21:57] gangs that have become international
[00:22:00] smuggling networks operating across
[00:22:03] the borders. Homs, as I mentioned, due to
[00:22:06] its geographical location, has become the largest
[00:22:09] arena for the activity of such gangs, and also for the activity of the branch in
[00:22:13] combating the trafficking of these narcotic substances.
[00:22:16] Of course, during the recent period, there were several similar operations,
[00:22:20] and the common link between them was that the quantities of pills that were being
[00:22:23] confiscated were very large, even exceeding
[00:22:27] the activities of promoters and their distribution
[00:22:30] within Syrian territories and among
[00:22:32] young people.
[00:22:35] So other countries. Therefore, we are facing a real challenge,
[00:22:39] it seems, for these security agencies to control such
[00:22:42] violations and these prohibited
[00:22:46] activity also appears through intensive operations carried out by
[00:22:50] the administration here within the governorate, repeatedly
[00:22:54] arresting people recently who
[00:22:57] are involved in drug trafficking.
[00:23:00] During some of these operations, there were also
[00:23:03] exchanges of fire and security incidents
[00:23:06] whose main cause was drug trafficking.
[00:23:10] The security administration and the Internal Security Command state
[00:23:13] that combating such a scourge has become a necessity
[00:23:17] and a primary duty that cannot be abandoned.
[00:23:20] They also state that combating it is not only
[00:23:23] through security means, but also through awareness campaigns by
[00:23:26] all community influencers
[00:23:30] to stop the spread of such toxic materials
[00:23:33] among youth, in addition to controlling
[00:23:36] and combating even reporting any
[00:23:39] gangs operating here in Homs, whose activity, as I mentioned, has intensified
[00:23:43] recently. Yes. Thank
[00:23:46] you, Anwar Abu Al-Walid, Syria TV correspondent in Homs.
[00:23:52] The Lebanese army announced that it seized about 200 kilograms of
[00:23:56] explosives that were prepared for smuggling from Syria to

[00:24:06] unit seized the explosives in the Qasr region of Hermel,

[00:24:17] to combat smuggling and prevent illegal entry attempts.

[00:24:23] materials were handed over to the competent authorities. It also indicated
[00:24:27] the continuation of coordination to arrest
[00:24:29] those involved.
[00:24:35] The Syria TV correspondent said that the Constitutional Council in
[00:24:39] Lebanon rejected the appeal filed against Public Amnesty Law
[00:24:42] No. 70, with the introduction of a partial annulment
[00:24:46] and explanatory clarifications for some of its articles,
[00:24:49] making it effective and enforceable.
[00:24:51] According to the correspondent,
[00:24:54] the amnesty law was approved
[00:25:00] and covers crimes committed before March
[00:25:03] 1st, while the number of beneficiaries from it
[00:25:06] is estimated at about 4,000
[00:25:10] people, including drug users and dealers,
[00:25:13] non-organized ones, and some release
[00:25:17] cases. The amnesty excludes

[00:25:45] came after the fate of the law became clear,
[00:25:49] pointing to the disappointment of some prisoners with the Council's
[00:25:52] interpretations, which he saw as affecting the essence
[00:25:56] the law and introducing
[00:25:59] actual amendments. This is
[00:26:02] where the spokesman congratulated the prisoners who will be covered
[00:26:06] by the amnesty law, expressing hope that the doors
[00:26:10] of prisons will open for them soon,

[00:28:43] الطاقه
[00:28:48] President Ahmed al-Shar'
[00:28:55] issued a decree to amend some articles
[00:28:59] of the harmonized customs tariff schedule,
[00:29:02] adopted under Decree No. 110
[00:29:05] of 2026.
[00:29:08] The decree stipulates amendments that include
[00:29:11] classification, coding, duty rates, and applicable
[00:29:15] conditions.
[00:29:22] Dr. Basil Al-Taha,
[00:29:25] Sharjah. Welcome, Dr.
[00:29:28] the decree issued by President Al-Shar'
[00:29:31] to amend some articles of the customs
[00:29:35] tariff, which included fabrics, olive
[00:29:39] oil, and plumbing tools, in addition to other
[00:29:42] materials?
[00:29:45] Good evening. Thank you, Professor Hussam, for the invitation. Greetings to you
[00:29:48] and all viewers of Syria TV. The truth
[00:29:52] is that with every law that includes a customs
[00:29:55] tariff, there is a kind of follow-up
[00:29:59] or review. So, with this
[00:30:03] new law, about 55
[00:30:06] items were introduced. The items were between amendment and
[00:30:10] deletion and addition and reduction, and some things
[00:30:13] remained as they were, no modification was made to them
[00:30:16] regarding import duties, or
[00:30:20] export duties were added to them. So, in
[00:30:23] general, we can say law came
[00:30:27] as a complement within an economic vision of the
[00:30:30] Syrian government for some things that could be
[00:30:33] supportive of the economy.
[00:30:36] Yes, in your opinion, Doctor, why did the decree
[00:30:40] time? The decree to amend prices
[00:30:44] and fix some
[00:30:46] of them.
[00:30:49] Well, my dear sir, Professor Hussam, in my personal opinion, some
[00:30:52] items needed amendment, such as
[00:30:56] dental materials that were subject to a very high reduction. Devices
