[00:00:00] in the south of Quneitra governorate, specifically west of Al-Rafid town, [00:00:03] reaching Saida Al-Hanout. It [00:00:07] is seizing land. We saw in the past period [00:00:11] an Israeli tank entering a farm [00:00:16] safely, and heal and destroying or running over approximately 700 trees that are 20 years old. [00:00:19] A farm. So, did you document these incidents, sir? [00:00:23] Did you document these stories and reach [00:00:25] budget will be presented to the media as they should? We as independent journalists [00:00:29] been presented yet, but it will be in Parliament are working and risking our lives. [00:00:31] life? This Of course, we were subjected to gunfire, we were subjected to bomb [00:00:33] attacks, even from Israeli [00:00:36] drone that fired a shell at us while we were documenting [00:00:41] there are directives from one of the violations in Beit Jann area. Also, I mean, we are trying [00:00:44] as much as possible, as Dr. Tariq mentioned, with the tools we have [00:00:47] to reach out with. I mean, the camera isn't [00:00:49] No one from getting enough support from [00:00:52] the Syrian government. As an independent journalist, I haven't seen [00:00:56] any support from the Syrian government [00:00:58] Now, I mean, we started from honestly, until now. Neither the Ministry of Information nor the Directorate of Information nor anything else. [00:01:01] We only get permits and access facilities, etc. Other than [00:01:06] long period. On the contrary, that, we don't get anything. So, when you're filming and your words reach [00:01:09] the media stations and institutions, are they published as they should be, or is there any distortion in this [00:01:12] regard? Of course, we convey [00:01:15] prisons. This the voice through channels, through newspapers, we even convey it to [00:01:18] the Syrian government. Sometimes we [00:01:21] The forum from cooperate with them as directors of regions, as the Quneitra [00:01:23] Directorate of Information for the governorate. We submit monthly [00:01:27] and weekly documentations of the violations that are happening. We convey it from the region. [00:01:31] fruitful, and now from We don't fall short with anyone. You are not falling short. Is anyone falling short with you? Honestly, for [00:01:35] me, until now, I haven't seen anything from [00:01:38] that amount is. the government, frankly. Well, let me see the professor in the third row as well, [00:01:41] please. [00:01:45] Good evening to you all first. Welcome to Quneitra governorate, among your people [00:01:49] and family. Ahmed Hassan, Head of Media Relations at the Quneitra [00:01:52] Media Directorate. I would like to [00:01:55] send a message to all journalists who are [00:01:58] working in the south, whether [00:02:01] be initially. This is in Daraa or Quneitra. All thanks for their tremendous efforts. [00:02:04] No one is falling short. They are exposed to great danger. [00:02:09] to make the picture Honestly, they are stationed at a great frontier, [00:02:11] and whatever we do, we will always [00:02:15] the brothers in charge, with fall short of what they deserve because the burden they are carrying is [00:02:18] a great burden on them, frankly. Regarding, I want to talk, even [00:02:22] briefly, about our work as the Media [00:02:24] Directorate. We have journalists [00:02:27] daily from various [00:02:31] independent bodies, in addition [00:02:33] to the work of government media bodies [00:02:37] and official ones, so they work as [00:02:40] one unit, frankly. Daily, I personally receive many [00:02:43] media outlets that come from [00:02:46] various places, whether local [00:02:49] or from other governorates, their centers [00:02:52] or outside the country. Everyone is present [00:02:56] in the governorate's field. I personally accompany them. We [00:03:00] try to provide the required data, secure meetings [00:03:03] and interviews. I mean, daily we are present [00:03:07] with the families of detainees. We strive to convey their voices [00:03:12] it was canceled to provide, I mean, to offer everything we can to them, frankly. As for [00:03:15] journalists, excuse me, let me ask [00:03:17] I am not aware you a question. In your opinion, do the Israeli [00:03:22] next to her. attacks on Quneitra specifically [00:03:22] to revive such and western Daraa receive the coverage they [00:03:27] raise this deserve from the various television channels? [00:03:29] Whatever they are, there isn't any, I mean, I don't know anyone [00:03:33] from the Syrian News Agency, Syrian TV or others. I'm [00:03:36] asking you, are you satisfied with this matter? If not, what needs to be done? If yes, [00:03:40] then it's good, without sugarcoating the image at all. Within the available capabilities [00:03:44] of journalists in Quneitra governorate, things, I mean, they [00:03:48] are making an effort, I mean, more than their capacity, frankly. And journalists, but I'm talking about [00:03:51] channels, even channels. Honestly, I accompany [00:03:55] more than one media outlet daily. Daily, I mean, [00:03:58] we are actually from early morning, I mean, [00:04:02] until evening, actually present with them in the field, frankly. So, to be honest, [00:04:06] within the capabilities they have, even we, as updated [00:04:09] directorates, the capabilities we have as updated directorates, honestly, [00:04:13] I mean, they still need a lot of work. I mean, new [00:04:17] updated directorates, I mean, we cannot compare them to [00:04:20] directorates that have a long history [00:04:22] Bashar, nor did they carry a rifle against and were established a long time ago, frankly. Okay, [00:04:26] before I talk about [00:04:28] the economic aspect and here we get into what the government is offering more, [00:04:32] I want to extend a very big greeting to all the journalists of the South. [00:04:35] Perhaps there was some confusion in the past couple of days regarding [00:04:39] a video. There [00:04:43] is no doubt, no one can outbid [00:04:46] the media heroes in the South who are facing [00:04:49] at least, as you walk, you see a drone here threatening you at [00:04:53] any moment to abduct you, God forbid, [00:04:56] or more than that. A very big greeting to all the media [00:05:00] of the South who are covering the front lines, and they [00:05:03] my children, "Either you come with us or we will remove this are not to be mocked at all. [00:05:06] But unfortunately, [00:05:09] And that will appear, God willing, in in southern Syria, fear does not stop at the doorstep of the house. It's [00:05:12] not just about drones, rifles, bullets, and soldiers humiliating [00:05:16] people. The story goes to the land, livelihood, [00:05:20] work, and future. [00:05:23] Land that no one can reach, an agricultural season [00:05:27] threatened, few job opportunities, services [00:05:30] that do not meet people's needs. How can the people [00:05:33] of Quneitra specifically live, work, and survive [00:05:36] under such circumstances? No one can imagine how people live here. Who is responsible [00:05:40] for providing the minimum requirements of [00:05:43] is the topic I will directly address with the concerned [00:05:47] parties in this regard. Mr. Muhammad, what is the economic reality in the governorate [00:05:51] today? I mean, as you all know, [00:05:55] our country has gone through more than 14 years [00:05:59] of wars. The war [00:06:02] has destroyed everything, green and dry, it has affected humans, people, [00:06:06] and stones, and everything. All elements of life. [00:06:11] zero, even below zero. [00:06:13] Quneitra is part of this country that has suffered during this [00:06:19] we went back several [00:06:21] centuries. But the truth is, I mean, especially in the recent period, [00:06:25] Quneitra, frankly, I mean, had [00:06:28] a special privilege and attention from the leadership. So, the Governor, [00:06:32] frankly, I mean, managed to [00:06:36] bring most of the government ministers to the governorate's land [00:06:39] to see the reality of Quneitra. Frankly, their visits were [00:06:44] the sovereign fund, a sum of [00:06:47] money has come, I mean, not bad. What do you mean by not bad? You need to tell me how much [00:06:50] I mean, a good amount. [00:06:53] More than good. Some people consider a thousand dollars good, and some people consider 10 [00:06:56] million. A million and 5,000 [00:06:59] dollars came to all of Quneitra? A million and 5,000 for Quneitra? [00:07:03] It was requested from the heads of administrative [00:07:06] units in Quneitra, whether in the governorate itself [00:07:09] or in the communities in Daraa, Damascus countryside, Damascus, [00:07:13] that they provide the governorate with projects [00:07:16] of high priority, for example, under [00:07:19] the title "Our Golan Deserves It." [00:07:23] These projects are concerned with cleanliness, roads, [00:07:27] sanitation. All of this is only one and a half million dollars. One hundred [00:07:30] million. One hundred million dollars? One hundred million. [00:07:34] Doctor, what is the amount, people? Is it 100 million dollars or one and a half million? [00:07:37] The amount is, in reality, I mean, [00:07:40] a large amount. One and a half million dollars. [00:07:43] What will you do with this one and a half million dollars? [00:07:46] I mean, one and a half million dollars, with all due respect, allow me to speak. Yes, go ahead. [00:07:50] The amount is truly large, doctor. But exactly [00:07:53] how much is it? Because I will not [00:07:57] accept how much. You have to tell me. You have to tell me [00:08:00] how much it is. Because if it's one and a half million, it's a disaster. If it's 100 [00:08:03] million, it's great. But one and a half million is definitely a disaster. What one million? I will [00:08:06] tell you the amount because now all municipalities, all [00:08:10] administrative units have submitted sanitation projects. [00:08:13] Now this town, Khan Arnabah, there [00:08:17] was a big challenge in all administrative units, whether in the governorate [00:08:20] or in the communities or in Damascus, regarding cleanliness. [00:08:23] The large administrative units, for example, [00:08:26] like Khan Arnabah, like Jadida Al-Fadl, like [00:08:29] Sbein Hajira, this is one, meaning, honorable attendees, so that [00:08:33] you know, when we talk about the people of Quneitra, we are talking about people living [00:08:37] from here to the Damascus countryside, even to the outskirts [00:08:40] of Damascus. So, one and a half million. [00:08:43] The large communities now have [00:08:46] a contractor collecting waste for three months. I mean, [00:08:49] they gave it to contractors in addition to asphalt projects, [00:08:52] roads, clearing and paving roads, [00:08:56] sanitation, lighting. [00:08:59] So the heads of the administrative units submitted these projects, and now they have started [00:09:03] and execution has begun. When will the "Golan Deserves It" project [00:09:06] be completed? In three months. So, if I come after three months [00:09:10] and hold the same meeting here, and you, Dr. [00:09:14] Tariq, and Mr. Ahmed, and the people [00:09:17] of Quneitra are here, they will tell me the situation has changed. It will be before [00:09:20] that, after a month. I mean, after a month from its date, now, I mean, [00:09:24] the projects have begun, but they are awaiting [00:09:26] approval from the General Secretariat. Have they begun or are they awaiting [00:09:30] approval? Because if they have begun, it means they are working. If they are awaiting approval, it means they haven't signed [00:09:34] the General Secretariat contracts [00:09:37] at the General Secretariat, but the projects that are there have started [00:09:41] in stock. As for contracts, [00:09:44] they will be approved within days. Okay, let me see Dr. Tariq. [00:09:48] What is your information about [00:09:51] the projects that will be supported in Quneitra? Excuse me, let me [00:09:54] clarify. I'm not trying to be pushy here. [00:09:58] When we say we need projects for the people of Quneitra so that people can endure [00:10:01] on their land, we are all with you, Doctor, on the contrary. First, allow me [00:10:05] to talk about the People's [00:10:08] Assembly. There is currently great [00:10:11] momentum towards Quneitra Governorate. [00:10:15] Great interest from all members of parliament in the issue of Quneitra [00:10:19] and supporting Quneitra. [00:10:21] the budget that will be presented soon. Doctor, I need promises. What [00:10:25] promises do you give to the people here regarding the budget? What [00:10:28] do you promise them regarding projects? What do you promise them regarding services? [00:10:32] Okay, we can't keep telling them to sit still and endure. We need to tell them what we're going to do for them. [00:10:35] Okay, you are monopolizing the conversation. No, I'm not. [00:10:38] I want figures. It is not [00:10:42] my job to present figures. I will give you [00:10:46] information. Soon, the 2027 [00:10:50] Parliament. It has not [00:10:54] soon. And God willing, there will be [00:10:56] great support for Quneitra [00:11:00] governorate in this budget. [00:11:04] Also, I mean, [00:11:06] the leadership to all ministries to implement [00:11:10] essential projects in the governorate, [00:11:13] including the health sector, the agricultural sector, the service [00:11:16] sector, the communications sector. What the professor talked [00:11:20] about is, I mean, a quick [00:11:23] measure. It was a small amount, [00:11:27] around one and a half million, to carry out some urgent matters that cannot be delayed, [00:11:31] such as cleaning measures and some roads that [00:11:34] need quick repair. This is what I mean, [00:11:37] Sheikh. But [00:11:40] the major projects, God willing, I mean, [00:11:43] will be soon. [00:11:46] Among them, the work has also started [00:11:50] on the hospital, its renovation, and providing it with the equipment [00:11:53] it needs. Support for the health sector, the agricultural sector, [00:11:57] which is the most important sector for citizens in the governorate. [00:12:01] I mean, there is great attention, and the [00:12:04] minister has made promises and has completed [00:12:08] some of them, and we will follow up with him on the remaining part, and we are currently following [00:12:12] up to complete these promises. I mean, we know that we are here in one of [00:12:15] the most fertile areas of Syria. Is that right? But also the agricultural sector [00:12:19] in Syria, in Quneitra, unfortunately, has suffered a lot due to [00:12:22] the entity's aggressions. [00:12:25] Are there any draft laws to compensate farmers [00:12:28] to enable them to restore their crops or their ability to produce, [00:12:32] or have we not thought about that yet? Of course, this [00:12:35] is under discussion, and [00:12:38] it is confirmed that there will be [00:12:41] compensation, especially for those whose farms were bulldozed. [00:12:45] This matter is resolved, and it will be, God willing, in the near future. And if we [00:12:49] have another meeting in the governorate, this matter will have [00:12:52] been completed. There are also [00:12:55] other projects in the governorate, including investment projects [00:12:59] related to water and renewable [00:13:03] energy. I mean, there are [00:13:06] projects that will start, God willing, at the beginning of the new year. I have a small question. [00:13:10] Yes. In the donation campaigns that took place, such as Bashri [00:13:13] Houran, Fidaki Ya Hamam, Halab is all [00:13:16] pride, and so on, and Wafaa Idlib. Why didn't something like that happen [00:13:20] in Quneitra? Quneitra has expatriates who could have supported. Why didn't these campaigns [00:13:23] happen? Frankly, there [00:13:26] was a project [00:13:30] to launch a donation [00:13:32] campaign, but [00:13:37] more than a year ago. Why? [00:13:42] of the reasons that led to its cancellation, but it was canceled. Is it possible [00:13:47] a project? Well, we can [00:13:52] matter with the Master. The issue of Quneitra is a national issue. [00:13:55] I mean, it's not just the people of Quneitra who will contribute to it. I mean, today, when you say I want to support Quneitra, [00:13:59] all Syrians will rise up. At least, like this, [00:14:02] isn't it? Yes, there may be some discussion on this matter [00:14:06] and a proposal for donations at the national [00:14:10] level. This [00:14:12] is it. [00:14:15] Now, there is a donation campaign, even a [00:14:18] small one, from businessmen. The Governor's target [00:14:22] was schools, under the slogan "Pen [00:14:25] and Warmth." Among the priorities now is that we are approaching winter. [00:14:28] Buying heaters, repairing doors, [00:14:32] windows, glass for schools before [00:14:34] the start of winter. I mean, there is a certain amount, [00:14:38] and now we have assessed the needs of schools, all [00:14:41] schools, whether dedicated or exactly, [00:14:45] I don't know, but we will cover [00:14:48] the basic needs in schools, God willing. Sir, there, please. If [00:14:52] you allow. [00:14:55] Thank you for your visit because you feel our pain [00:14:59] and you have come to see our pain. This is the least we can do. [00:15:03] God bless you. And sorry for the delay. My name is [00:15:06] Rasha Hassan Zaitoun from Jabat al-Khashab. My [00:15:10] children's father died at the beginning of the Syrian revolution. He left me four [00:15:13] children. I spent my life trying to protect them. I went everywhere [00:15:17] with my children so that I wouldn't see anyone hurt [00:15:21] and not be able to do anything. The youngest he left me was one year old. He doesn't know [00:15:25] his father. [00:15:27] Since the beginning of the revolution, their father and his six [00:15:30] siblings left. [00:15:33] On 17/9/2025, an occupation [00:15:37] patrol came to the house and took [00:15:41] my two twin sons, Muhammad [00:15:43] Motasem Mraywed and Mahmoud Motasem Mraywed. [00:15:47] Until now, for a year and two months, I [00:15:50] don't know anything about my children. I knocked on every [00:15:53] door, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Damascus, the United [00:15:56] Nations in Damascus. I left no governor, no [00:16:00] minister, no Red Cross, no [00:16:04] place that I didn't knock on. Unfortunately, [00:16:07] there is no answer. The only ones who [00:16:10] called us and felt our pain were [00:16:13] the journalists of Quneitra. They are the ones who [00:16:17] call us and come to interview us to [00:16:20] see our pain and convey our voice. There is no journalist [00:16:23] or media person who hasn't come to us. [00:16:27] journalists and media people hasn't come to us to see our pain. My [00:16:30] children are underage. How old are they? [00:16:33] They are 17 years old. They were working in construction. [00:16:37] They have no job, no salary, no supporter other than [00:16:40] God and me, their mother, who is providing [00:16:43] everything for my children. And until now, I haven't seen anything from [00:16:47] I don't want anything. I haven't seen anything from anyone [00:16:51] for these orphans, and their father is considered a martyr. [00:16:54] We haven't seen anything. And since my children left, I thank [00:16:58] lawyer Ahmed Al-Mousa. Since my children [00:17:01] left, I haven't left any party that I haven't contacted. Lawyer [00:17:04] Ahmed Al-Mousa in Germany. Since [00:17:07] my children left, I called him and told him, "Consider them your children and demand for them." [00:17:11] I beg all countries, His Excellency President Ahmed [00:17:15] Al-Shara, my children are orphans. My children sent me [00:17:19] a message from inside with one of the people. The person [00:17:22] came out and said, "Please, mother, go to His Excellency President [00:17:26] Ahmed Al-Shara and ask him to consider us his children and demand for us." [00:17:29] Mother, can you imagine, doctor, [00:17:32] what 17-year-olds have done? Until now, I don't know anything [00:17:36] about them. This is in any, I mean, since [00:17:39] the liberation, we haven't seen a day of peace. Since [00:17:43] the liberation, incursions, arrests. We can't [00:17:46] keep enduring. And until now, they took my children. I [00:17:50] could have taken the rest and left, but I'm staying [00:17:53] and enduring, and I'm waiting for my children. I'm [00:17:57] waiting every day with bated breath for them to tell me that Muhammad and Mahmoud [00:18:00] have been released. After 49, 39 [00:18:03] detainees inside. Most of them are minors. What [00:18:06] have they done? We want all of them. Mothers' [00:18:10] hearts are bleeding. Why? What is the reason? [00:18:13] Children. What have they done? We have a president, we have a state [00:18:17] that judges, not the occupation that judges our children. We [00:18:20] hope from you, for God's sake, that [00:18:24] you will return our children to us, and no one from the state [00:18:27] called us and asked us about our pain. We [00:18:31] went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times, and they wouldn't let us in, [00:18:34] and anyone who came out stayed. We were sitting [00:18:38] outside in the street. We are in pain. We want [00:18:41] our children. I want my children. My children were working [00:18:45] in construction when they were taken so that [00:18:48] they could provide for themselves and not be broken by any [00:18:50] human being. [00:18:53] Thank you. Please, the sister next to her. The sister [00:18:59] The sister, the sister behind. [00:19:02] The sister in the niqab had raised her hand [00:19:03] and then stopped. [00:19:08] May God reward you. I want to talk about her. She is Shadi's mother. [00:19:11] She doesn't feel like talking to you or asking [00:19:14] for her son, and no one in the state stood [00:19:17] with us. Our state is above us and on our heads. I myself [00:19:21] was arrested by the regime. My son is a martyr in Al-Sakhoor. He was taken [00:19:25] to Sednaya. We sacrificed and we are not sad. But [00:19:28] the occupation came. Bashar came. The occupation came to take [00:19:32] our children. So where is the state from us? Where are human [00:19:35] rights? Where are the people? Where is the world? We want our children. [00:19:38] We don't want land, we don't want livelihood, we don't want money. We will live on dust. [00:19:42] We will live in hunger, but we want our children. We ask you by [00:19:46] Almighty God, we ask you by Almighty God, we ask you by Almighty God, every [00:19:49] official and every one with a living conscience, wherever they can convey our voice, [00:19:53] to convey it and bring us our children from the occupation. They are 17 years [00:19:56] old. They didn't carry a rifle with [00:20:00] the occupation. What did they do? These children should be in schools, [00:20:03] growing up behind bars with the occupation, not growing up [00:20:06] in their mother's arms. Where should they be? Any human being, imagine [00:20:10] their son, God forbid, with the occupation. What is your position, [00:20:14] all of you who are present, all the people of Syria, all the countries of the world, [00:20:17] and the Arabs? A small condition, the occupation. There is no strong country [00:20:21] to stop the occupation from us, the violations against Syria and the people of Syria and the land of Syria. May God [00:20:25] reward you. May God bless you. [00:20:27] Excuse me. Of course, excuse me. I'll tell [00:20:31] you everything. When the occupation came and took my children from the house, my younger [00:20:35] son had an accident. He was brain damaged. So they threatened [00:20:41] one who is dying." So my children, out of fear for their younger brother, [00:20:44] told us that they would go with them, but to leave their brother. [00:20:47] And until now, my children don't know if their brother is well [00:20:51] or alive. When someone comes out, they ask me if they want to check on [00:20:54] their brother, whether he is dead or well. I told them, [00:20:58] "I wish someone would tell them that their brother is fine, thank [00:21:01] God." May God free them and return them to you [00:21:06] all the wounded. Please, professor. [00:21:10] Peace be upon you all. I am Mahmoud [00:21:13] Al-Shabani, from the people of Quneitra governorate, from Quneitra, Khan Arnabah. [00:21:16] A former detainee, a former prisoner of the Zionist enemy. [00:21:23] I would like to address a word to [00:21:26] our esteemed government and the officials [00:21:29] in the governorate. First, the attention [00:21:32] should be, I mean, noticeably, at least, something [00:21:36] tangible for the children [00:21:38] of the [00:21:41] detainees who are in the occupation prisons, [00:21:44] whom I salute from this platform. What kind of [00:21:47] support could it be? [00:21:51] The issue is not about financial support at all [00:21:54] in this matter. We are talking about moral [00:21:58] support for the families [00:22:00] of the detainees who are in Israeli [00:22:05] raises the morale of the people. [00:22:08] They know that there is a state, there are institutions asking [00:22:11] and seeking after them. Here, the [00:22:14] disappearance of the detainees who [00:22:18] are inside without news. When we were in detention, [00:22:22] at least the Red Cross would send us, come to us for a visit, send [00:22:26] a message, take a message, deliver a message to us in this regard. [00:22:30] Here now, our detained children who are currently in the prisons [00:22:33] of the Israeli occupation, there [00:22:36] is no communication, no messages, no nothing. I mean, this is what [00:22:40] our government or the state [00:22:44] should, I mean, pressure the Red Cross on this issue. The Red Cross should make [00:22:47] visits to them. That's how we used to [00:22:51] what I'm talking about. I was detained from 1986 to 1994. [00:22:54] You were in the occupation prisons in 1994? Yes. [00:22:57] Okay, so we just want, I mean, communication through [00:23:01] the Red Cross, that we ask [00:23:05] all due respect to them, and all respect and greetings to the Governor [00:23:08] and the ministers, to communicate with the Red Cross, for example, [00:23:11] to allow communication, even [00:23:14] messages at least, so that their families can [00:23:18] be reassured about them. Thank you. [00:23:20] I will return, I will return to everyone. Let's just take a break, [00:23:24] catch our breath, and we'll be back. Stay with us.
