00:02:46success in combating terrorism are the cornerstone of this
00:02:50partnership,
00:02:52structure is fragmented, and this is embodied in Damascus's decision to extend

00:02:59of weapons outside the legal framework,
00:03:02which was achieved through peaceful dialogue and agreement
00:03:05that unified institutions to be the largest investment in neighborhood
00:03:09security. A unified Syria, free of terrorism and militias,

00:04:00Syria's role in this path represents an actual geographical
00:04:03and economic bridge that translates
00:04:06and reinforces its role as an active diplomatic bridge in
00:04:09the region. We will build on this positive model

00:08:29and lands, and has become a link between the interior and the interior,
00:08:33and between the outside world and the interior.
00:08:37So we share this joy with you, and we wish
00:08:40we could have been with you today.
00:08:43You deserve much more than this, people of Deir. We have
00:08:47development plans that we are working
00:08:50on for the Eastern Region, Deir
00:08:53ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah, Raqqa, and all
00:08:57significance to the Eastern Region and its abundance.
00:09:03gradually implementing the development plan there, including the rehabilitation
00:09:06of infrastructure, and also the rehabilitation of the health sector
00:09:10there. There is also a hospital for
00:09:14cancer tumors, which will also
00:09:17be worked on, with an estimated cost of
00:09:2021 million dollars. Also, the road connecting
00:09:24Damascus and Deir ez-Zor is also
00:09:30year, we worked
00:09:33this road, and we have almost reached the final
00:09:36stages. It will cost approximately
00:09:39between 275 million dollars and 300 million
00:09:45The Minister of Transport informed me a few
00:09:48days ago that they have almost finished
00:09:53companies, and it will be up to international standards, God willing, in a way that befits
00:09:57the capital of Deir ez-Zor, God willing. Also, the road connecting
00:10:01Al-Bukamal and Raqqa will also
00:10:03be rehabilitated.
00:10:07within, between
00:10:10Al-Bukamal and Deir ez-Zor, will also be worked on. Also,
00:10:13the bridges that were destroyed, including the Siasia and Al-Mayadin
00:10:16bridges, we are also working on rehabilitating
00:10:19them and rebuilding
00:10:22them from scratch, and God willing, it will be completed soon.
00:10:26There is also a project for a large industrial city, which will also
00:10:30have food industries and petrochemical
00:10:33industries to provide many job opportunities, and also to export
00:10:36products directly from Deir ez-Zor
00:10:40to all parts of the world. How will the people
00:10:44of Deir ez-Zor make products in Deir ez-Zor soon, God willing?
00:10:47So, God willing, we are working on all these projects
00:10:51diligently. We need some time for these
00:10:55projects to be completed, and we do not consider anything too much for our people in Deir
00:10:58ez-Zor and our people in the Eastern region. These
00:11:01are just the beginnings, God willing, and the first thing we will start
00:11:04with is connecting roads so that people can go and return to
00:11:08Deir ez-Zor safely and comfortably.
00:11:11The member of the Executive Bureau in Deir
00:11:15ez-Zor Governorate, responsible for housing, services, and facilities, Yahya
00:11:18Al-Ali, presented a briefing during which he reviewed the extent
00:11:21of the destruction that affected the infrastructure in the governorate
00:11:25and the most prominent projects implemented and underway to rehabilitate service
00:11:29networks, roads, and public facilities,
00:11:32which contributes to improving the service environment and creating
00:11:36conditions for the return of residents to their neighborhoods.
00:11:48An agreement was reached with some partners to conduct
00:11:51an accurate assessment of the damaged neighborhoods so that we have
00:11:56information regarding sewage networks and regarding damaged buildings
00:11:59and their assessments. Severely damaged buildings
00:12:02that must be removed and moderately damaged buildings that can
00:12:06be reinforced and damaged buildings
00:12:09that can be renovated. During the past emergency period, as you know,
00:12:12the work was after the liberation, an emergency
00:12:15plan
00:12:17to provide services to citizens according to need.
00:12:21Some work has been completed in
00:12:25the palaces, at the old airport, and in the industrial
00:12:29area, and the Hamidiya neighborhood.
00:12:33has been completed in terms of water, electricity, and sanitation,
00:12:38this road to restore
00:12:41life to these neighborhoods
00:12:43for merchants and residents to return to their neighborhoods in a dignified
00:12:47and safe manner, God willing. We also have a plan
00:12:49for rural roads in Al-Shamiyah, of course, and schools
00:12:53in Al-Shamiyah will also be approved. They will be announced within two days, God willing,
00:12:58Al-Shamiyah. The road plan is ready,
00:13:02and the studies are ready. Agricultural and service roads outside
00:13:06the organizational plan will be announced. Also, the Deir ez-Zor City Council,
00:13:09God willing, we have a good and somewhat acceptable plan
00:13:13regarding roads. Regarding house
00:13:16renovations, some organizations
00:13:19are participating with us in renovating houses. This
00:13:22information is taken through the municipality,
00:13:26according to the applications submitted by
00:13:29the owners of the damaged buildings to the organizations. Criteria
00:13:33are used to target residents based on the targeted
00:13:36criteria, such as residing in their home, the extent
00:13:39of damage being limited, and the structural
00:13:42integrity being maintained.
00:13:45The number of family members - these criteria are taken
00:13:49into account by organizations, of course, in cooperation with the Deir ez-Zor City
00:13:52Council. This is a brief overview of the upcoming projects
00:13:56for Deir ez-Zor Governorate.
00:13:59President Ahmed Al-Shara issued Decree No.
00:14:02122 of 2026,
00:14:06which stipulates the appointment of Ahmed Rawad Mohammed Bashar Ramadan
00:14:09as Director-General of the Syrian Investment Commission. The decree
00:14:13comes within the framework of issuing administrative appointments for governmental
00:14:17institutions and bodies, as it stipulated the appointment of Ahmed Rawad
00:14:20Mohammed Bashar Ramadan to assume the duties of the General Directorate
00:14:24of the Syrian Investment Commission, replacing
00:14:27Engineer Talal Al-Hilali.
00:15:22The Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus
00:15:25concluded the fifth session of the trial of the accused Ahmed
00:15:28Hassoun, while setting August 24th
00:15:32as the date for the next session, which is dedicated to review
00:15:36and judgment. The court had previously begun
00:15:39the fifth session of the trial of Ahmed Hassoun, who is accused
00:15:44and justifying murder during the era of the defunct
00:15:48regime. The session was chaired by Judge Fakhr al-Din al-Arian
00:15:51in the presence of representatives of national and international
00:15:55human rights organizations.
00:15:59Today, the fifth session of the trial of the accused Ahmed Badr
00:16:03al-Din Hassoun, the Grand Mufti of the defunct regime,
00:16:05was held before the
00:16:09the Palace of Justice in Damascus.
00:16:12The Public Prosecution demanded, during this session,
00:16:15the imposition of the harshest penalties against him.
00:16:19In response, the defense lawyer presented his
00:16:22plea before the court. The trial was adjourned
00:16:25until August 24th
00:16:28of the current month. The accused faces
00:16:31charges, most notably incitement to murder
00:16:35and violence during the years of the Syrian Revolution.
00:16:39It is worth noting that Ahmed Badr al-Din
00:16:42Hassoun is not the only accused in these
00:16:45cases, as the Syrian courts continue
00:16:48to follow up on the files of a number
00:16:51of accused individuals in accordance with legal procedures.
00:16:54From the Palace of Justice in Damascus, Daan
00:16:57Jumaz for Syrian
00:16:59News. The Special
00:17:03Engineering Detachment of the Internal Security in
00:17:06Aleppo Governorate dismantled an explosive belt
00:17:10found in the Al-Sakhour neighborhood of Aleppo city.
00:17:13The competent authority continues to complete the procedures and investigations
00:17:16related to the incident, while
00:17:20no information has been reported
00:17:34The UN Security Council held a special session
00:17:38during which it heard a briefing on the threats posed by ISIS in Syria
00:17:42peace and security. The head of the Office of the
00:17:45Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism confirmed that
00:17:48the organization is exploiting the changing security
00:17:52landscape in Syria to reconstitute its threats,
00:17:56calling for the safe, voluntary,
00:17:59and dignified repatriation of Al-Hol
00:18:02camp residents.
00:18:06the organization still poses a serious threat to international
00:18:09peace and security. Counter-terrorism operations
00:18:11have
00:18:14undermined the organization's senior leadership
00:18:18and limited its ability to direct operations
00:18:21centrally, but the organization
00:18:24has adapted to the new circumstances. Although the current
00:18:29the organization remains resilient, and its affiliated
00:18:32entities are united around a common ideology.
00:18:35The organization still exploits fragile security
00:18:39environments and protracted armed conflicts. All
00:18:43counter-terrorism efforts must be based on international
00:18:47law, including international human rights law, humanitarian
00:18:50law, and refugee law. Adherence
00:18:52to these norms is not just a legal
00:18:56obligation; it is a practical
00:19:00necessity to ensure the effectiveness
00:19:03and legitimacy of our collective efforts. For her part,
00:19:07the Executive Director of the Counter-Terrorism Committee at the United
00:19:11Nations, Carmen Cantour, affirmed that developments
00:19:14in Syria emphasize the importance of vigilance
00:19:18in confronting the organization's threat. She explained that addressing
00:19:21the situation of former ISIS affiliates requires
00:19:25legal prosecution, rehabilitation, and reintegration in accordance
00:19:28with international law. The challenge remains
00:19:31global, and Africa is affected more
00:19:35than others, and developments in Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic
00:19:39emphasize the importance of vigilance.
00:19:43Humanitarian challenges remain enormous, and the closure of Al-Hol
00:19:47camp represents a huge development,
00:19:49and it
00:19:52highlights the complexity
00:19:55of addressing the situations of former
00:19:58ISIS affiliates and their families.
00:20:01This issue is becoming more urgent
00:20:04today. Ensuring effective legal prosecution
00:20:07and reintegration and rehabilitation
00:20:10measures that take into
00:20:13account the age group and the gender
00:20:16dimension are all issues that have not
00:20:20yet been resolved. Addressing this challenge will require international
00:20:24cooperation, sufficient resources, and compliance with humanitarian
00:20:27law and international human rights law,
00:20:30while paying attention to the needs
00:20:33of victims.
00:20:43The Syrian Permanent Representative to the Organization
00:20:46for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Muhammad Katoub,
00:20:50affirmed, on the anniversary of the sarin gas attack in Douma city
00:20:53in August 2013, that the effects
00:20:56of these crimes do not end with the dispersal of toxic
00:20:59gases, but remain etched in the souls
00:21:03of survivors and the families of victims, as they continue
00:21:06their pursuit of truth, justice,
00:21:08and accountability.
00:21:1313 years have passed, and the details of that
00:21:17dark night are still etched in the minds
00:21:20of Syrians. 13 years have passed, and the people
00:21:24of Douma city have not forgotten the horrors they experienced
00:21:27when the defunct regime turned the city into a stage
00:21:31for one of the most heinous crimes after it was targeted
00:21:34with toxic sarin gas, leaving and injured
00:21:38civilians. Hospitals were overflowing with casualties,
00:21:41whose numbers approached 400 people, most of them women
00:21:44and children, before warplanes returned to fly over
00:21:48the city, spreading terror among residents
00:21:52who thought a new attack was imminent. The last
00:21:55scene was even more brutal: images documenting hundreds
00:21:59of bodies. Those painful scenes did not prevent
00:22:02the defunct regime from re-using this internationally prohibited
00:22:05weapon. Just two weeks after targeting Douma with sarin
00:22:09gas, it targeted Ghouta with chemical weapons on August
00:22:1221, 2013. It also
00:22:16committed two massacres in Khan Sheikhoun in 2017
00:22:20and in Douma in 2018, according
00:22:23to the findings of a joint investigation by the United Nations
00:22:26and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. According to
00:22:30the Syrian Permanent Representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
00:22:33Weapons, Muhammad Katoub, the Douma attack was the
00:22:3631st reported use of chemical
00:22:40weapons in Syria, and the second on the same
00:22:43night, stressing that the effects of these crimes do not end
00:22:46with the dispersal of toxic gases, but remain deeply rooted in the souls
00:22:50of survivors and the families of victims, as they continue
00:22:53their pursuit of truth, justice, and accountability.
00:22:57Today, after 13 years, Syrians remember
00:23:00that night with sorrow, but this memory
00:23:03is accompanied by hopes of completing the transitional
00:23:06justice process and holding those responsible for these
00:23:10crimes accountable.
00:23:17A joint delegation from the Syrian Ministry
00:23:20of Interior and Foreign Affairs held a meeting in Beirut with the Lebanese
00:23:24Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Ahmed Al-Hajjar, and a number
00:23:28of senior Lebanese officers to discuss
00:23:31the most prominent issues of common concern. The Syrian delegation's
00:23:34visit came at the invitation of the Lebanese Minister of Interior.
00:23:38The delegation was led by Brigadier General
00:23:40Malham Al-Shantout, Assistant Minister of Interior
00:23:44for Security Affairs, in the presence of the Chargé
00:23:47d'Affaires of the Syrian Embassy in Beirut, Al-Hazzaa,
00:23:50and the Director of the International Cooperation Department at the Ministry of Interior,
00:23:54Colonel Abdul Rahim
00:23:56Jabara.
00:24:01The National Authority for Missing Persons discussed with the Chargé
00:24:04d'Affaires of the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan to Syria
00:24:08prospects for developing joint cooperation and exchanging expertise in areas
00:24:11related to the Authority's work, which supports its efforts
00:24:14and establishes the right of families
00:24:18of missing persons to know
00:24:20the truth. The Authority reviewed its duties
00:24:23and competencies and national efforts
00:24:27made to uncover the fate of missing persons and support
00:24:29their families, while both sides stressed the importance of cooperation in
00:24:33developing national capacities in
00:24:36with diplomatic missions and the Authority's vision
00:24:39for addressing the issue of missing persons in
00:24:42Syria.
00:24:53A convoy of 182
00:24:57families departed from displacement camps in the Idlib countryside to their homes
00:25:00in the northern and western Hama countryside, as part
00:25:03of the "Syria Without Camps" vision, under the patronage
00:25:07of the Directorate of Social Affairs and Labor in Idlib, and with support
00:25:11from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
00:25:14100%
00:25:19of the
00:25:21families today close a long displacement
00:25:25story that lasted for more than ten
00:25:28years, during which its winter
00:25:31nights were harsh, covering their bodies
00:25:35with nothing but a piece
00:25:37of cloth, which itself did not protect
00:25:41them from the summer heat and high temperatures.
00:25:44Today, this page is turned with the return
00:25:48to their homes on their land, which
00:25:51they were forcibly displaced from by
00:25:54the defunct regime, which left it destroyed
00:25:58as a pile of stones and cut
00:26:01and burned trees, to begin
00:26:04the journey of reconstruction and stability anew
00:26:07in those villages and towns
00:26:10from which they were displaced
00:26:13previously. Today, the shovels of construction
00:26:17begin anew in those villages and towns
00:26:20that were destroyed by the defunct regime.
00:26:23Moaz Al-Abbas, Syrian News,
00:26:26Idlib. As part of the "Fidaa
00:26:30for Hama" campaign, the General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation
00:26:34in Hama Governorate launched three projects to rehabilitate
00:26:37drinking water stations in Uqairabat, Northern Mekimen,
00:26:41and Southern Mekimen, with the aim of enhancing
00:26:44service sustainability and improving the water situation in the eastern
00:26:48Hama countryside.
00:26:53The General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation, in cooperation with
00:26:57Hama Governorate, launched three rehabilitation projects in the eastern
00:27:00countryside of the governorate as part of the Fidaa
00:27:08for Hama campaign. These include the rehabilitation of works, providing these
00:27:11wells with solar energy systems, electrical and mechanical
00:27:15equipment, in addition to replacements and expansion in
00:27:19the Jarabat area, in addition to equipping these
00:27:22wells with, as we mentioned, electrical and mechanical
00:27:26equipment, in addition to solar energy systems. Of course, more than
00:27:2910,000 beneficiaries will benefit
00:27:32from these projects after these areas suffered from water scarcity
00:27:36and weakness after the defunct regime destroyed the infrastructure
00:27:39in these
00:27:42areas. The Drinking Water and Sanitation Corporation
00:27:46in Hama is rehabilitating Jarabat Well 2 to supplement
00:27:49the first well to provide drinking water to
00:27:52citizens, as the percentage of returnees to Jarabat has reached
00:27:5685%. Work is currently underway
00:27:59to rehabilitate this well
00:28:03and expand the network and maintain
00:28:06the old network.
00:28:09We are thirsty, we need water, and we hope
00:28:13that God will guide them to complete this project because we are buying water, and
00:28:17God willing, the project will be completed successfully and we will drink water and sleep
00:28:20in our homes. This is what we
00:28:22want, my sister.
00:28:27We need water, we desperately need
00:28:30it. They are buying ten barrels for 75
00:28:33tractors. We say, even
00:28:37a little bit comes from outside, and Jarabat has a great need
00:28:40for water. The village has no water.
00:28:44We ask the water officials for water for Jarabat.
00:28:47There was an old project
00:28:50that would provide water not only to Jarabat but also
00:28:54to others. It has a tank and everything, but we need some action
00:28:58to get the project moving because the wells that are in
00:29:01Jarabat are shallow and their water is weak,
00:29:04not enough. I ask you to help
00:29:08us with
00:29:08the project's water.
00:29:12We hope that the authorities will expand the projects a little bit, because people
00:29:16are suffering. They won't let us dig a well unless we get a paper
00:29:19from the Al-Asi Basin. Therefore,
00:29:22the projects and operate the artesian wells for olives, sheep,
00:29:26and other things. Thank you, and God bless you.
00:29:28The Minister of Endowments,
00:29:33Muhammad Abu Al-Khair Shukri, discussed with the President of the International
00:29:36Islamic University for Science and Technology, Muhammad
00:29:39Kurmaz, prospects for enhancing academic cooperation between
00:29:42the educational institutions affiliated with the Ministry
00:29:46and the University. The two sides discussed ways to develop religious
00:29:49education and exchange scientific and academic
00:29:52expertise. Minister Shukri affirmed that the Ministry
00:29:55of Endowments is proceeding with the implementation of its vision
00:29:59to develop religious education institutions through
00:30:02openness to universities and scientific centers.
00:30:05For his part, Kurmaz praised the achievements of the Syrian
00:30:09Ministry of Endowments after the liberation,
00:30:11considering that the launch
00:30:14of the Charter of Islamic Discourse Unity
00:30:17represents the most prominent of these.
00:30:20The achievements
