[00:08:11] The Jordanian Northern Military Region foiled
[00:08:13] an attempt by a person to infiltrate through
[00:08:17] one of its border fronts, according to Jordanian media
[00:08:20] sources. According to the sources, Jordanian border
[00:08:24] guard forces spotted the person while attempting
[00:08:28] to cross the border illegally
[00:08:31] and dealt with him according to the rules of engagement
[00:08:34] before arresting him and referring him to the competent

[00:08:55] in the Deir ez-Zor countryside. The correspondent said
[00:08:58] that two other girls were also injured in the
[00:09:01] same explosion, noting that those injured in the explosion
[00:09:05] are from one family. The correspondent indicated
[00:09:09] that the mine is a remnant of the war resulting from the overthrown
[00:09:52] The Civil Defense revealed
[00:09:55] the Badia and other areas were swept
[00:09:59] into relatively safe areas due to the rains
[00:10:02] and floods that hit various locations in the country during
[00:10:05] the past days, calling on civilians to avoid
[00:10:09] touching any strange object and to report it to the competent
[00:10:13] authorities. As a result
[00:10:15] of the recent and heavy rains that fell across all parts
[00:10:18] of Syria, we have formed massive floods
[00:10:21] and torrents, especially in the Badia areas, as we saw on social
[00:10:25] media clips or those that spread recently. These torrents may have
[00:10:29] swept war remnants and mines in their path. I hope
[00:10:32] that our civilian people and civilian sisters do not
[00:10:36] approach the paths of these torrents, even if they dry up.
[00:10:39] And do not hesitate to report in case you encounter any strange object, and we, God
[00:10:43] willing, will meet your services and your reports. Most importantly,
[00:10:46] the Raqqa Media Directorate announced
[00:10:49] the full and normal resumption of traffic
[00:10:52] on the Raqqa - Deir ez-Zor road after
[00:10:56] the completion of construction work on a water culvert adjacent
[00:10:59] to the Khneifis bridge and the preparation of the side
[00:11:03] passage allocated for vehicles. The Directorate
[00:11:05] explained that the Syrian Building and Construction
[00:11:08] Corporation completed the work yesterday evening,
[00:11:12] which allowed the resumption of traffic on the road completely
[00:11:15] after removing the obstacles that were
[00:11:18] affecting transport and travel between
[00:11:22] the two governorates.
[00:11:29] The Civil Defense reported the arrival of a reinforcement
[00:11:32] team from Aleppo to Raqqa to support search
[00:11:35] operations for a person swept away by floods from the Sillemani
[00:11:39] bridge area. This comes after the Raqqa Media
[00:11:42] Directorate announced the discovery of the body of one
[00:11:45] of the missing persons due to the recent floods that hit
[00:11:49] the governorate and other areas in the east of the country.
[00:11:52] Search operations continue for the second
[00:11:55] day in a row with the participation of teams from the Civil Defense
[00:11:59] and the Ministry of Defense. Asem Ghalyoun, Director of the Communications
[00:12:03] Department at the Ministry of Defense, said that the teams
[00:12:06] participating in search operations in Raqqa
[00:12:10] governorate and its countryside include units from the Naval
[00:12:13] Forces and Coastal
[00:12:15] Defense.
[00:12:22] In turn, the Minister of Emergency
[00:12:25] and Disaster Management, Raed Al-Saleh, said that the recent floods
[00:12:29] hit simultaneously an area exceeding
[00:12:32] one-third of Syria's area, adding that response
[00:12:35] efforts may not have been sufficient. Al-Saleh
[00:12:39] explained in a post on his X platform that the destruction
[00:12:45] infrastructure increased the difficulty of facing
[00:12:48] the disaster, stressing that the ministry's teams exerted
[00:12:52] their utmost efforts in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior
[00:12:56] early warning and emergency response
[00:12:59] to removing the effects of the floods
[00:13:02] and assisting those affected.
[00:13:19] The Arab Center for Research and Policy

[00:13:52] survey in Syria for the year 2000,

[00:14:20] those surveyed believe that the security situation
[00:14:24] is good or very good,
[00:14:27] a noticeable increase from the percentage during the last year, which
[00:14:31] reached 41%.
[00:14:34] More than 42% of
[00:14:37] respondents expressed Syria's main problems, which are
[00:14:41] economic challenges, while
[00:14:45] 33% attributed Syria's problems to political,
[00:14:48] security, and institutional
[00:14:50] challenges.
[00:14:52] As for the economic situation of families,
[00:14:55] only 13% stated that their
[00:14:58] household income covers their basic expenses
[00:15:01] and they can save from it, compared to

[00:15:08] and destitution. At the level of services,

[00:15:57] level, 61% that Israel is the country
[00:16:01] most threatening to Syria's security,
[00:16:04] while 80% recognize
[00:16:07] Israel, and 74%
[00:16:11] believe that the Palestinian
[00:16:13] cause is the most
[00:16:16] important cause
[00:16:19] for Arabs. The activities
[00:16:22] of the sixth session of the annual forum for contemporary
[00:16:25] Syrian studies concluded in the Syrian capital, Damascus,
[00:16:29] after three days of
[00:16:33] intellectual discussions, and intensive legal
[00:16:36] discussions. The event
[00:16:40] facing the country in the political transition
[00:16:43] phase since the overthrow of the former regime in late
[00:16:46] 2024.
[00:16:59] The forum was an intellectual event that featured cultural
[00:17:02] diversity, intellectual
[00:17:10] researches related to political, economic, social,
[00:17:13] and military issues, as well as transitional
[00:17:16] justice and reconstruction, which is currently the main
[00:17:20] concern for Syrians. There was also a focus on the zero-camp
[00:17:24] policy, recovery, and reconstruction issues, and the situation
[00:17:27] of refugees and sustainable return for our
[00:17:31] displaced brothers. The importance of this forum is that it is an executive
[00:17:34] tool that can be relied upon by the
[00:17:37] government to
[00:17:40] consider and adopt
[00:17:43] the future.
[00:17:47] The closing day of the sixth edition
[00:17:51] of the Annual Forum for Contemporary Syrian Studies witnessed
[00:17:54] the announcement of the results of a new
[00:17:57] survey of the Arab Index affiliated with the Arab
[00:18:00] Center for Research and Policy Studies, which monitors
[00:18:04] the trends of Syrian public
[00:18:08] a number of current issues and challenges.
[00:18:10] 38% are skeptical that
[00:18:14] it stands at an equal distance. They say that we can
[00:18:18] say that the results of the index
[00:18:21] reflect the trends of Syrian public opinion
[00:18:24] and its positions on economic, social,
[00:18:28] and Syrian and political issues.
[00:18:31] And citizens in Syria, due to the difficult economic
[00:18:34] conditions they are going through, believe that the priority in
[00:18:39] economic, but that is
[00:18:42] only 42% because there are about
[00:18:46] 33% who focused on major
[00:18:49] security and political issues concerning
[00:18:52] the Syrian state and Syrian society, such as the unity
[00:18:55] of Syrian territory, the building of the Syrian state, combating
[00:18:59] terrorism, so they balanced between
[00:19:02] major political issues and economic
[00:19:06] issues.
[00:19:18] A Lebanese ministerial delegation headed by Deputy
[00:19:22] Prime Minister Tariq Mitri held a series
[00:19:24] of discussions with their counterparts in the Syrian
[00:19:28] capital, Damascus. The Lebanese delegation included
[00:19:31] the Minister of Education and Higher Education, the Minister of Social
[00:19:34] Affairs, and the Minister of Labor, in addition
[00:19:38] to a technical delegation from the Ministry of Interior.
[00:19:41] Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani had received
[00:19:45] the Lebanese delegation at Tishreen Palace before the start of bilateral
[00:19:48] sessions between the ministers and their counterparts.
[00:19:52] The discussions are expected to cover issues of border
[00:19:55] control and crossings, combating drug smuggling,
[00:19:58] extremism, and regulating the situation of Syrians residing in
[00:20:02] Lebanon and facilitating the voluntary return of refugees.
[00:20:05] The visit also discusses issues of education, registration
[00:20:09] of births, and civil documents within the framework
[00:20:12] of enhancing cooperation and coordination between the two countries. And with me directly from
[00:20:26] Beirut, Mr. Tariq Abu Zainab, writer and political
[00:20:29] analyst. First, welcome Mr. Tariq. So, in your opinion, what
[00:20:33] is the importance of the Lebanese delegation's visit to Damascus today,
[00:20:37] and what are the most important issues that were discussed
[00:20:40] in the talks? Hello, Ms. Hiba, and hello to all
[00:20:43] viewers. In fact, yes,
[00:20:47] in fact, the importance of the Lebanese delegation's visit to
[00:20:51] sisterly Syria is in enhancing, meaning, the ability
[00:20:54] of the Lebanese state to manage its files
[00:20:58] with Syria through its official institutions, as
[00:21:01] the Lebanese citizen will certainly feel today,
[00:21:04] and the Syrian citizen, the success in the relationship
[00:21:08] between the two countries with the implementation of all these facilities.
[00:21:12] Of course, the issues that were raised today, and these
[00:21:15] are the issues that were previously discussed in previous
[00:21:19] visits and even in the meeting that was sponsored by the United
[00:21:22] Kingdom between Lebanon and Syria previously, the issue
[00:21:26] of Syrian refugees and safe return
[00:21:29] mechanisms and addressing the situation of residents in Lebanon was also
[00:21:32] discussed, as well as border control and regulating
[00:21:35] entry and exit and confronting illegal
[00:21:39] and irregular entry into Syria and Lebanon.
[00:21:42] Of course, the meetings today also touched on regulating
[00:21:46] Syrian labor and giving rights to Syrian workers as
[00:21:50] well. Educational issues and the recognition of Lebanese
[00:21:53] and Syrian certificates and coordination between the relevant ministries
[00:21:57] are also covered by the visit. There were meetings between
[00:22:00] Lebanese and Syrian ministers today, and I believe
[00:22:03] that after we followed what happened today
[00:22:07] between the Lebanese and Syrian delegations
[00:22:10] and their meetings, honestly, there were positive results
[00:22:13] regarding the talks, and these agreements will
[00:22:17] enter into force very soon. And of course,
[00:22:20] Lebanon will naturally benefit from its close relationship with
[00:22:24] sisterly Syria, especially
[00:22:27] reciprocity and respect for Lebanese and Syrian sovereignty,
[00:22:33] Lebanese internal affairs, because we know today, we see
[00:22:36] today, statements from the Syrian government and His Excellency President
[00:22:40] Ahmad Al-Shara on his keenness on
[00:22:43] non-interference in Lebanese affairs. Of course, we used
[00:22:47] to deal, the former Syrian regime used to deal with
[00:22:51] us with guardianship over Lebanon, and also with intelligence
[00:22:54] activities, and of course, as it treated
[00:22:58] the Syrian people with a hammer, as they say, and fire,
[00:23:01] the former Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad
[00:23:05] and Hafez al-Assad also treated the Syrian citizen
[00:23:08] very badly. Therefore, today, honestly, we are seeing
[00:23:12] today this important treatment and reciprocity
[00:23:15] from the Syrian state to the Lebanese state. This also reflects
[00:23:20] economically. This cooperation facilitates Lebanese exports
[00:23:23] and products through Syrian territory. Yes, you mentioned the point
[00:23:27] of results, and I wanted to ask you this question: will
[00:23:31] we really see effective steps and measures
[00:23:34] and quick results that reflect these visits, whether
[00:23:37] on the security and border level, or the return of refugees, or the situation of Syrians there,
[00:23:41] or Syrians detained in Lebanese prisons? Will there really be quick
[00:23:44] results? It is certain, my dear lady, because
[00:23:48] the delegation was large today, and of course, there were Lebanese ministers
[00:23:51] concerned with their ministries,
[00:23:54] and also, today, I believe
[00:23:58] that all these files have materialized, and they
[00:24:01] are moving towards happy endings, in my opinion,
[00:24:04] and their results will be felt by
[00:24:07] the Lebanese and Syrian peoples,
[00:24:11] level, something important is the cooperation today
[00:24:14] between Lebanon and Syria, and facilitating Lebanese exports
[00:24:18] and products through Arab markets
[00:24:22] through transportation and transit, and also giving Lebanon
[00:24:26] today privileges in the matter of introducing
[00:24:29] Syrian products into the Lebanese market. So, I believe that
[00:24:33] it will naturally reflect on the two
[00:24:36] peoples, and of course, it will be implemented, and I believe
[00:24:39] that these files and these agreements were signed
[00:24:43] and concluded today, so they will enter
[00:24:47] into force very soon, and also, the Lebanese government
[00:24:50] is very keen that dealing and interacting with the Syrian
[00:24:54] state be on an equal footing. Today, let's be realistic,
[00:24:56] today Lebanon naturally
[00:25:00] embraces
[00:25:02] Syrian displaced people or Syrian refugees, and also
[00:25:05] we today are linked by a common situation between the Lebanese
[00:25:09] people and the Syrian people, and there are social
[00:25:12] and family ties between the two peoples.
[00:25:15] Therefore, this sound relationship that should exist between the two
[00:25:19] peoples, today, of course, we are also seeing that when
[00:25:22] the foreign minister was on a previous visit to Lebanon and how he was received in Lebanon,
[00:25:26] a reception by His Excellency the President and a reception in
[00:25:30] Tripoli was like a wedding. Therefore, today the new
[00:25:33] Syrian state and the Syrian government, honestly, the Lebanese
[00:25:37] people look at all the Lebanese people with all their sects,
[00:25:40] especially today, official Lebanon, such as His Excellency the President
[00:25:44] of the Lebanese Republic and the Lebanese government, look forward to this
[00:25:47] brotherly relationship that we honestly did not used
[00:25:50] to in the previous Syrian relationship between the criminal
[00:25:54] former regime when it kidnapped from the Lebanese people
[00:25:58] Lebanese sovereignty. Today this government, the new Syrian government,
[00:26:02] thank you, for dealing with Lebanon
[00:26:06] honestly on an equal footing, and also
[00:26:08] for dealing with Lebanon as a state. Therefore,
[00:26:12] there is great progress, honestly, in the Lebanese-Syrian
[00:26:15] relationship, and I believe
[00:26:18] see it in the near future, very soon,
[00:26:21] with a very important impact, meaning, also today, when
[00:26:25] the issue of regulating births in Lebanon and in
[00:26:28] Syria, and the concerned ministries are the ones
[00:26:32] that the Syrian and Lebanese citizens turn to, I believe
[00:26:35] that today this will greatly facilitate, this will
[00:26:39] greatly facilitate for our
[00:26:42] and also for the residents. Today, let's not forget
[00:26:46] that today Lebanon has a large Syrian workforce,
[00:26:49] and Lebanon needs this workforce, on the one hand,
[00:26:53] for reconstruction, and on the other
[00:26:56] hand, for construction and agriculture and so on. Therefore,
[00:27:00] it is important to give rights
[00:27:02] to Syrian workers in Lebanon, and also to facilitate today
[00:27:06] that Lebanese people also have jobs
[00:27:09] and investments in Syria. Therefore, it is very important
[00:27:13] that this relationship be honest,
[00:27:16] that the relationship be on all levels, and it will certainly
[00:27:19] reflect positively on Lebanon economically, because Lebanon
[00:27:23] has no land crossing honestly except with
[00:27:26] Syria, because today in southern Lebanon there is an Israeli
[00:27:29] entity and borders with Palestine, and of course with the entity,
[00:27:33] and therefore there is only one passage
[00:27:36] in Lebanon, which is Syria. So, it is very important that the relationship
[00:27:40] be important, brotherly, on an equal footing
[00:27:43] between the two countries, honestly, and between the two peoples.
[00:27:46] I actually wanted to ask you about your assessment of Syrian-Lebanese
[00:27:49] relations, but you answered that yourself, and thank God
[00:27:59] course, some voices tried to distort this relationship,
[00:28:03] whether from Hezbollah or others, but believe me, the relationship
[00:28:07] between the Lebanese and Syrian brothers is, today,
[00:28:09] in Lebanon, in many houses, there are in-laws
[00:28:13] and relatives and a common situation between the two peoples.
[00:28:17] And of course, we are also seeing that security coordination
[00:28:20] is taking place, and the remnants of the former regime are being
[00:28:24] arrested, and also there is great security coordination between
[00:28:29] today, the prisoners in Roumieh prison were released.
[00:28:33] A large number of them were handed over to the Syrian authorities.
[00:28:37] Therefore, this important security coordination, honestly,
[00:28:40] is also great coordination at the highest levels, and also
[00:28:43] today, the Lebanese Minister of Interior
[00:28:47] is in full coordination with the Syrian Minister of Interior. Therefore, these
[00:28:51] relations that we will all work to, honestly, as journalists,
[00:28:54] and as media professionals, and as researchers, and as elites
[00:28:58] in societies, to be very strong, honestly,
[00:29:01] because the Lebanese people today have no brothers
[00:29:04] by their side except the Syrian people
[00:29:17] of the Republic, Mazloum Abdi, said that achieving stability
[00:29:21] in Syria requires the participation of the Kurds in state
[00:29:24] institutions, stressing the continuation of work to complete integration
[00:29:28] files, especially in the education
[00:29:31] and security sectors. Abdi added, according to Rudaw news agency,
[00:29:35] that the parties that tried to obstruct the integration
[00:29:38] process did not succeed in their endeavors,
[00:29:41] pointing out that the Kurdish issue has now
[00:29:44] been raised within state institutions with a clear
[00:29:48] will and identity. Abdi stressed
[00:29:51] the importance of political and administrative participation
[00:29:54] of the Kurds in the next phase. In the file of the missing,
[00:29:58] Abdi clarified that a specialized committee
[00:30:00] continues its work to uncover their fate and determine
[00:30:04] their whereabouts in parallel with efforts aimed
[00:30:07] at securing the safe return of displaced people to their
[00:30:11] areas.
[00:30:40] Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani issued a decision
[00:30:44] to appoint Muzna Al-Atrash as a peace advisor
[00:30:48] in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Al-Atrash, who hails from
[00:30:52] Suweida Governorate, holds a degree from the Higher Institute
[00:30:57] in media, and also held the position Member.
