[00:02:32] the two countries.
[00:02:41] We are joined by Jad Fayyad,
[00:02:44] examination will have been released political analyst, from Beirut. Mr. Jad, welcome.
[00:02:46] First, the timing
[00:02:50] of this delegation's visit to Damascus and also
[00:02:53] its meeting with Foreign Minister Asaad
[00:02:57] Al-Shaybani, how do you interpret it?
[00:03:00] Greetings to you and the viewers. First, this visit is
[00:03:03] part of a series of visits by Lebanese or Syrian delegations
[00:03:06] to the other country in order to follow up on some outstanding
[00:03:10] issues, such as displacement files,
[00:03:12] Industrial and Handicraft Zones in Aleppo, and under the guidance of files related to the presence of a number of Syrians in Lebanon, and even some security
[00:03:15] files. In recent times, many attempts
[00:03:19] to smuggle across the Lebanese-Syrian border have been thwarted,
[00:03:22] and therefore, it seems that this file has resurfaced
[00:03:26] and is being reactivated again. It is worth noting
[00:03:30] that this meeting falls within this
[00:03:34] context, and there are essential files on the table, including
[00:03:38] the displacement file and what is related to border security,
[00:03:41] and I believe this is the most important point, perhaps not central to this
[00:03:45] meeting today, but it will be central later
[00:03:48] in the context of plans to dismantle
[00:03:52] that affected various locations in Hezbollah's weapons and control regional security in
[00:03:53] between farmers the region. Okay, Mr. Jad, today,
[00:03:56] what is the
[00:03:58] else, do not touch necessity for perhaps cooperation between Lebanon
[00:04:01] and Syria in many files, as you mentioned?
[00:04:05] Perhaps at the top of them is border control and combating drug
[00:04:09] smuggling, perhaps
[00:04:11] all areas, because at the top of them. Can effective solutions
[00:04:14] be found during this visit that could perhaps be implemented
[00:04:18] in the coming period in this
[00:04:21] framework? The importance of this coordination stems from two
[00:04:24] points. The first point is the presence of a large number of displaced Syrians in
[00:04:27] Lebanon. This number is decreasing as some
[00:04:31] displaced people return to their
[00:04:33] between the concerned institutions in country and villages in Syria, but there is still a large number that needs
[00:04:36] coordination, even administrative coordination related to identity documents and so
[00:04:40] on. However, regarding
[00:04:43] of them. the issue of borders and arms smuggling, I believe it is the most important point, as
[00:04:47] the Lebanese-Syrian borders were a primary smuggling route for
[00:04:52] delegation and a number of Hezbollah's weapons, and it is part of the road extending from Iran to Iraq, passing through Syria
[00:04:58] in cooperation with the Health Directorate operations continue for the sixth consecutive and Lebanon. This road or these borders have been largely controlled, but controlling
[00:05:01] Hezbollah's weapons effectively and starting
[00:05:05] the process of dismantling Hezbollah's weapons genuinely
[00:05:08] and imposing Lebanese authorities or extending
[00:05:11] Lebanese authorities' control over all Lebanese territories requires
[00:05:15] precise and complete control of the Lebanese-Syrian borders,
[00:05:19] and for this reason, Lebanon today needs to coordinate with
[00:05:22] Syria to control the borders. However, what we
[00:05:26] fear in Lebanon is the presence of some advisors, employees,
[00:05:29] administrators, some general directors, and some politicians
[00:05:33] in some departments and ministries, which
[00:05:36] belong to the era of the former regime and the
[00:05:40] fallen regime of Bashar al-Assad. There are some
[00:05:44] officials who do not want this cooperation to happen in order to continue
[00:05:47] smuggling weapons and drugs across the borders and so on. Naturally,
[00:05:51] these officials are linked to or close
[00:05:54] to the Iranian axis in the region and do not want any control of weapons or
[00:05:58] any control of borders. Thank you very much,
[00:06:02] Jad Fayyad, political
[00:06:03] analyst, from Beirut.
[00:06:07] The President's advisor, Mazloum Abdi, said that achieving stability in
[00:06:11] Syria requires the participation of Kurds in state institutions, stressing
[00:06:15] the continuation of efforts to complete integration files, especially in the education
[00:06:18] and security sectors. Abdi added, according to Rudaw
[00:06:22] news agency, that the parties that tried to obstruct the integration process
[00:06:26] did not succeed in their endeavors, indicating that the Kurdish
[00:06:28] issue has become on the table within state institutions
[00:06:32] with clear will and identity. Abdi stressed
[00:06:35] the importance of political
[00:06:39] the next phase. In the file
[00:06:41] of missing persons, Abdi said that a specialized committee continues its work
[00:06:45] to determine their fate and locate them,
[00:06:48] in parallel with efforts to ensure the safe return
[00:06:52] of displaced people to their areas.
[00:07:06] Foreign Minister Saad Al-Shaybani appointed Mozna Al-Atrash to the position
[00:07:10] of advisor for peace affairs at the ministry. According to
[00:07:13] SANA news agency, Al-Atrash has experience in community,
[00:07:16] humanitarian, and media fields, and
[00:07:20] holds a degree in theatrical arts and media.
[00:07:23] More details about Al-Atrash in the following article.
[00:08:53] The Civil Defense revealed that war remnants from the Badia
[00:08:57] and other areas were washed into relatively safe areas
[00:09:00] as a result of the rain and floods
[00:09:04] the country during the past days, calling on
[00:09:07] civilians to avoid touching any strange object and to report
[00:09:11] it to the concerned authorities. As a result of the recent
[00:09:14] and heavy rains that fell across all parts of Syria,
[00:09:17] massive floods and torrents formed, especially in the desert
[00:09:21] areas, as we saw in the social media clips or what spread
[00:09:24] recently. These torrents may have swept away war
[00:09:28] remnants and mines. I hope that our civilian people
[00:09:32] and our civilian brothers and sisters do not approach the courses of these torrents, even if they
[00:09:35] dry up. And do not hesitate to report in case
[00:09:39] of encountering any strange object, and we, God willing, will respond to your services, respond
[00:09:42] to your reports, and the most important thing is to stay in good health
[00:09:45] and safety. The Civil Defense reported
[00:09:49] that a support team from Aleppo arrived in Raqqa to support search
[00:09:53] operations for a person swept away by the floods from the Al-Salmani
[00:09:56] Bridge area. This comes after the Raqqa Media Directorate announced
[00:10:00] the discovery of the body of one of the missing persons due to the recent floods that hit
[00:10:04] the governorate and other areas in eastern the country. Search
[00:10:09] day with the participation of teams from the Civil Defense
[00:10:13] and the Ministry of Defense. The Director of the Communications Department at the Ministry of Defense,
[00:10:17] Asem Ghalioun, said that the teams participating in search operations
[00:10:21] in Raqqa governorate and its countryside include units from the
[00:10:25] navy and coastal
[00:10:26] defense.
[00:10:33] In turn, the Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, Raed Al-Saleh, said that the recent
[00:10:37] floods simultaneously hit an area
[00:10:40] exceeding a third of Syria's area, adding that response
[00:10:44] efforts may not have been sufficient. Al-Saleh explained in
[00:10:47] a post on X that the destruction left by the ousted regime in the infrastructure
[00:10:51] increased the difficulty of facing the disaster,
[00:10:55] stressing that the ministry's teams exerted their utmost efforts
[00:10:58] in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior and Defense,
[00:11:01] starting from early warning and emergency response to
[00:11:05] removing the effects of floods and assisting
[00:11:07] those affected.
[00:11:17] We are now joined by Musab Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent from Deir
[00:11:20] Ezzor, to learn more details about this
[00:11:23] matter. So, Musab, the drifting of war
[00:11:27] remnants to relatively safe areas due to the storms
[00:11:30] we witnessed, the floods, and what
[00:11:34] the governorates, especially if we talk about Raqqa and Deir
[00:11:38] Ezzor, as well.
[00:11:41] Where did these remnants go, and from where did they move,
[00:11:51] and war remnants still pose a threat
[00:11:56] the eastern region of Syria, especially in Deir
[00:12:00] Ezzor Governorate, which witnessed long years of military
[00:12:03] operations and battles and left behind vast
[00:12:08] mines and unexploded
[00:12:11] ordnance. Some of them have been discovered, Furat, and dealt
[00:12:14] with, while other locations remain unknown
[00:12:17] under the ground, posing a deferred
[00:12:20] threat to the lives of residents.
[00:12:23] Let me talk about shepherds, farmers,
[00:12:26] children, truffle collectors,
[00:12:30] Syria who paid a heavy price for this danger. Hundreds of
[00:12:33] Deir Ezzor residents lost their lives or were injured due to explosions of mines, ordnance,
[00:12:37] and war remnants in incidents that sometimes occurred during their daily work or movement in
[00:12:42] areas. Of course, with the recent wave of rains and
[00:12:45] floods, concerns are renewed
[00:12:51] danger to new areas, Furat. The mines
[00:12:54] in the countryside of Deir Ezzor have
[00:12:57] been detected by engineering teams, but there are dozens
[00:13:00] of fields, according to the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, that have not yet been cleared,
[00:13:04] according to the Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, more than half a million contaminated
[00:13:08] points in Deir Ezzor. So,
[00:13:11] the fear of these mines and remnants
[00:13:14] moving to new areas, especially after
[00:13:17] the warnings issued by the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster
[00:13:21] Management and Civil Defense teams about the possibility of these
[00:13:24] remnants or these mines drifting from areas to
[00:13:27] inhabited areas, from areas that are vast expanses in the desert, valleys,
[00:13:31] or others. We saw
[00:13:34] when the weather cooled down in Deir
[00:13:37] Ezzor Governorate, and we headed to the affected points, large
[00:13:41] floods and fast-flowing waters. Certainly, according
[00:13:44] to the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management and Civil Defense teams, these floods
[00:13:48] may have swept away mines or
[00:13:50] strange objects or war remnants that did not explode.
[00:13:54] They may have reached populated areas or
[00:13:57] main roads, whether secondary or main, that
[00:14:01] the people of Deir Ezzor pass through. From here, the warnings from the Ministry of Emergency
[00:14:05] and Disaster Management and Civil Defense teams were issued. The most important
[00:14:08] warnings, Furat, are that
[00:14:11] people should be warned that if anyone sees
[00:14:15] any strange object,
[00:14:17] iron, a mine, an object similar to a bomb or something
[00:14:23] it, do not approach, and report
[00:14:27] to the nearest Civil Defense center or the nearest Emergency and Disaster
[00:14:31] center to deal with these objects, or also the army forces present in
[00:14:36] in fact, the people of Deir Ezzor have lost tens
[00:14:39] of them, even hundreds of their lives, as a result of tampering
[00:14:43] with these remnants. Sometimes children
[00:14:46] playing in a place find a strange object and bring
[00:14:50] it home. We have seen many cases in Deir Ezzor city and in the countryside of Deir Ezzor
[00:14:53] in general. Thank you very much, Musab
[00:14:56] Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent in Deir
[00:14:58] Ezzor.
[00:15:03] In this context, the Raqqa Governorate Electricity Company announced
[00:15:06] the return of electricity to the entire city
[00:15:10] after its interruption due to the severe weather that
[00:15:13] affected the region. The company stated on its Facebook
[00:15:17] page that the fault that affected the high-voltage line feeding
[00:15:20] from the dam station towards the equestrian station
[00:15:23] has been repaired, stressing that its technical
[00:15:27] staff continues to monitor the electricity grid
[00:15:30] to ensure stable supply.
[00:15:44] Occupation forces released two individuals they had
[00:15:47] kidnapped from the village of Kweia in the Yarmouk Valley
[00:15:51] in the countryside of Daraa and from the village of Al-Hurriyah in the countryside of Quneitra.
[00:15:54] Our correspondent stated that a force belonging to the occupation
[00:15:58] infiltrated Wadi Al-Raqad in the countryside of Daraa, while
[00:16:01] another force consisting of seven military vehicles infiltrated
[00:16:05] the village of Al-Samadaniya Al-Gharbiya in the countryside
[00:16:08] of Quneitra. This comes amid the occupation forces
[00:16:11] placing warning signs against the movement of more
[00:16:15] than three cars in a single convoy in the central
[00:16:18] countryside of Quneitra, threatening to target
[00:16:21] them and endanger the lives of civilians, at a time when
[00:16:27] southern
[00:16:27] Syria.
[00:16:34] In a new step imposed by the Israeli occupation forces in southern
[00:16:38] Syria, they are shifting from incursions, violations, and indiscriminate
[00:16:43] movement and transportation amidst threats to target any
[00:16:47] convoy consisting of more than three vehicles.
[00:16:51] On the outskirts of the villages and towns of Al-Samdaniya Al-Gharbiya, Ras
[00:16:56] the central countryside of the governorate, the occupation forces posted
[00:16:59] road signs warning civilians against moving
[00:17:02] in convoys of more than three vehicles, threatening to target
[00:17:06] them and endanger
[00:17:08] their lives. The placement of warning
[00:17:11] signs coincided with digging and bulldozing operations carried out by the occupation
[00:17:15] forces in the Al-Maakar area near the Tal Abu Al-Ghaythar
[00:17:18] gate in the southern Quneitra countryside.
[00:17:21] These steps
[00:17:23] come at a time when the Israeli occupation forces continue
[00:17:28] territory, from incursions and indiscriminate shelling
[00:17:32] to killing civilians, as Syria TV's correspondent
[00:17:35] documented 307
[00:17:38] violations by the Israeli occupation forces during last
[00:17:41] October in the countryside of Quneitra, Daraa,
[00:17:44] and Damascus, where he pointed to the diversity of violations between
[00:17:48] incursions, detention of Syrian citizens, shelling,
[00:17:51] killing, and Israeli airspace.
[00:17:55] The occupation's persistence in its escalating steps in southern
[00:17:59] Syria and the continuous restriction of the movement
[00:18:02] of Syrian civilians raise questions
[00:18:06] about the essence of what it seeks. And about the steps it wants
[00:18:09] to achieve in the coming days.
[00:18:11] The General Secretariat of the Presidency
[00:18:18] of the Republic issued a decision to set the daily official
[00:18:22] working hours for public entities with an administrative

[00:19:13] procedures to investigate the facts mentioned in the case file, discuss the evidence
[00:19:16] and data, and hear testimonies and legal
[00:19:19] defenses, in preparation for determining responsibilities
[00:19:22] according to what is proven before the court. The Ministry of Interior
[00:19:26] announced the referral of an investigator to the Public Prosecution after investigations
[00:19:30] conducted in Ghumaira's case in August
[00:19:33] last year.
[00:19:46] The Minister of Energy, Mohammed Al-Bashir, discussed with a delegation from the Iraqi
[00:19:50] Ministry of Water Resources developing cooperation in managing common
[00:19:53] water resources, especially the Euphrates River water,
[00:19:57] in addition to enhancing data exchange and coordination between
[00:20:00] the two countries and with Turkey. According to the Ministry
[00:20:03] of Energy, the discussions focused specifically on the

[00:23:58] communicating with the Emirati Ministry of Higher Education through official correspondence and channels
[00:24:02] to work on addressing this issue and reaching
[00:24:05] a solution that preserves the rights of graduates
[00:24:08] and addresses the existing problems. He added that the ministry
[00:24:11] is following up on the regulatory and academic aspects related to this
[00:24:15] file with the Emirati side in order to clarify
[00:24:18] the requirements and procedures needed and to reach
[00:24:21] a solution that guarantees the rights of graduates and the recognition
[00:24:25] of academic
[00:24:26] certificates.
[00:24:35] The Ministry of Industry and Internal Trade launched
[00:24:39] a project to update and digitize company registration in Syria
[00:24:43] in partnership with the US State Department. The project
[00:24:45] aims to simplify company registration procedures for local
[00:24:49] and foreign companies and digitally archive the registry,
[00:24:51] which supports the investment
[00:24:56] environment. The project, I mean, we are an American company funded by the American
[00:24:59] State Department. We are trying to provide technical
[00:25:03] and technological support, and in-kind support, regarding the data
[00:25:06] center for the Ministry of Industry so that they are able
[00:25:10] to manage the data center
[00:25:13] and install or update all systems and support
[00:25:16] the process of modernization and digital transformation.
[00:25:20] The main goal, frankly, is to provide appropriate and advanced
[00:25:23] infrastructure, in addition to providing
[00:25:27] consultations and also providing technical
[00:25:31] and technological support and knowledge transfer. There will also be an exchange
[00:25:34] of experiences, whether with neighboring countries or foreign
[00:25:38] experiences in the process of company
[00:25:40] registration.
[00:25:44] Al-Basar International Foundation,
[00:25:48] in Raqqa, continues to implement a medical campaign to perform
[00:25:52] 400 eye surgeries at the National Hospital,
[00:25:55] aiming to provide medical and treatment services to
[00:25:58] patients and alleviate their financial burdens.
[00:26:12] Of course, the campaign is being implemented by Al-Basar International Foundation in cooperation with the Health
[00:26:16] Directorate in Raqqa. The campaign targets 400
[00:26:19] cases. We perform cataract removal using the phaco technique, which is an advanced technique
[00:26:22] with lens implantation. The goal of the campaign is to alleviate financial burdens
[00:26:26] because a large number of patients are unable to receive medical
[00:26:29] assistance, so we prevent the occurrence of complications, and the patient
[00:26:33] does not delay the surgical operation. Of course, the campaign
[00:26:36] targets, as we mentioned, 400 cases. Today we performed 100,
[00:26:40] and God willing, we will continue until the end of the campaign.
[00:26:42] We went to Damascus
[00:26:47] for my mother to undergo surgery, and the cost was
[00:26:50] expensive, along with travel expenses. It cost about 6-7
[00:26:53] million. We came here, registered, and the situation
[00:26:57] is better here, meaning it's closer to home, and the staff
[00:27:00] are good.
[00:27:03] And we hope that there will be other services besides eye
[00:27:07] care, such as cardiology and other specialties for children
[00:27:10] and general surgery.
[00:27:16] The Aleppo Governorate reopened the flour mill and grain
[00:27:19] silos in the city of Tal Rifaat after a 14-year
[00:27:23] hiatus, following the completion of its rehabilitation
[00:27:26] works in cooperation between the Syrian General Establishment for Grains
[00:27:30] and the Shifaa and Global Communities organizations. SANA
[00:27:33] quoted the director of the Syrian General Establishment for Grains branch
[00:27:37] in Aleppo, Mahmoud Abu Bakr, as saying that the storage
[00:27:40] capacity of the silos is 12,000 tons,
[00:27:43] and it is scheduled to start receiving wheat crops from
[00:27:47] farmers in the region starting from the next season.
[00:27:51] Abu Bakr explained that the rehabilitation of the silos aims
[00:27:55] to increase the storage capacity for wheat crops and reduce
[00:27:58] their transportation costs, while the resumption of the flour
[00:28:02] mill's operation is expected to contribute
[00:28:05] bread production in the
[00:28:12] region. The Directorate of Industrial and Handicraft
[00:28:16] Zones in Aleppo Governorate closed nine
[00:28:20] denim washing workshops due to their violation of environmental
[00:28:25] on burning used tires in
[00:28:30] In Aleppo, the Aleppo Governorate
[00:28:33] issued a decision to seal nine denim washing facilities in
[00:28:37] Al-Shaqif area due to many complaints
[00:28:41] received against the owners of these facilities, as they operate used
[00:28:44] tires in their furnaces for almost two months. The Aleppo Governorate also
[00:28:47] issued a circular prohibiting the entry of used tires,
[00:28:51] but the industrialists did not comply with this circular and smuggled
[00:28:54] tires into Al-Shaqif area. Of course, operating
[00:28:57] furnaces with these tires, whether used tires
[00:29:00] or plastic waste, pollutes the air
[00:29:04] and causes great harm to citizens and
[00:29:07] to textile factories and food
[00:29:11] factories in a big way. We, as the Directorate of
[00:29:15] the Governor, are facilitating procedures significantly
[00:29:17] for industrialists, but not at the expense of citizens' health
[00:29:21] and not at the expense of pollution that harms the residents
[00:29:24] of Aleppo
[00:29:25] city.
[00:29:31] Idlib city will host the activities of the first Olive
[00:29:35] Festival after the liberation of Syria, with the participation of producers
[00:29:39] and farmers from several Syrian governorates, including Latakia,
[00:29:42] Tartous, Hama, and Homs. The
[00:29:45] festival will last three days, aiming to introduce
[00:29:48] olive products and their derivatives and enhance marketing
[00:29:52] opportunities and exchange of expertise
[00:29:56] and producers. From the Syrian coast to Idlib,
[00:29:59] olive products and olive oil came from Latakia
[00:30:02] Governorate, as part of the participation of a gathering
[00:30:06] of producers from various Syrian regions. Here,
[00:30:09] participants display their agricultural products
[00:30:13] and produce, in an opportunity to introduce them and open new
[00:30:16] horizons for their marketing after years of absence
[00:30:19] of such meetings.
[00:30:22] Of course, we participated with seedlings produced from our agricultural
[00:30:26] centers, olive seedlings, in addition to some products
[00:30:29] of rural women. Of course, these products
[00:30:33] that rural women produce are a support for these rural
[00:30:36] women, and rural women have a hall at the Directorate
[00:30:39] of Agriculture where they present these products, and these samples are a part
[00:30:46] At the Cultural Center in Idlib city, the activities of the first
[00:30:49] Olive Festival were inaugurated with the presence of a government
[00:30:54] agricultural and economic figures. The participation was not limited
[00:30:58] to Idlib.
