00:00:00the defensive and economic commitments
00:00:02So that the alliance does not that will be incumbent upon the Syrian state
00:00:04if it joins this very important
00:00:08and strategic alliance in fact at this stage,
00:00:11and I tend to believe that the Syrian state
00:00:14actually finds great benefits
00:00:18in this accession. Firstly,
00:00:20and also the ability
00:00:22difficult commitments and difficult challenges for to add something positive to this alliance
00:00:25because there are two main allies of the Syrian state,
00:00:28namely Saudi Arabia and Turkey. It is in Syria's interest
00:00:32to strengthen their ability to effectively
00:00:35manage the security system of the region
00:00:38in a good way
00:00:41needs more study that guarantees the protection of most
00:00:45targeting the Gulf states. Now, this of the countries that this alliance can provide deterrent cover for. Syria is at the forefront of these countries that
00:00:48suffer from weakness in this regard. However, these military,
00:00:52regional countries with political, and economic commitments
00:00:55incumbent upon the Syrian state
00:00:58of every Syrian, whether in the government or among in case of accession are not easy at all. In fact, the institutional
00:01:02structure of the security
00:01:05and military systems in the Syrian state has not yet completed
00:01:08the proper building procedures despite
00:01:13unite our position, whether the positive steps that the Syrian state has achieved
00:01:15in terms of border control and control of and regaining most
00:01:19of the territories that belong to the Syrian state
00:01:23and the relatively good security stability.
00:01:26However, these issues face challenges up to this moment.
00:01:30And perhaps it will face them during the next two years, during the transitional
00:01:33period or what remains of the transitional period. I am not talking
00:01:37here about the economic difficulties that
00:01:40the Syrian state will face if joining this alliance entails
00:01:43economic commitments. Naturally,
00:01:46every alliance requires the state to provide,
00:01:50with experience in not just benefit and reap
00:01:53benefits from this accession. Therefore,
00:01:56it is imperative for the Syrian state to discuss this matter seriously with its allies,
00:02:00to perhaps Egypt joining specifically the Turkish and Saudi allies, and
00:02:04these are the discussions that perhaps the Minister
00:02:07of Foreign Affairs referred to in his statements. True, true, true.
00:02:10Yes, therefore, in fact, the Minister
00:02:14referred to a very important issue in his statements yesterday, which is
00:02:18that bilateral cooperation between
00:02:21the Syrian state and the Turks on one hand
00:02:22and this and the Syrian state and the Saudis on the other hand, and Pakistan too, is an existing
00:02:25reality. Military and economic coordination,
00:02:29and benefiting from training
00:02:31actually aims to spread an atmosphere programs, manufacturing expertise, and the
00:02:34benefits that these countries can offer
00:02:37even, but Syria to raise the efficiency of the Syrian
00:02:40be understood from this military establishment, which is relied
00:02:42during the formation of this upon in case of joining this alliance to be a trusted partner
00:02:45first, and also a competent partner to its peers, because it is illogical
00:02:50to Syria's presence within this of course for the Syrian state to join as a weak party in this alliance that offers nothing and
00:02:55the stage of rebuilding capabilities from is forced
00:02:57into decisions that might affect its
00:03:01homeland. Naturally, I confirm that this alliance is a strategic
00:03:04need for Syria and a strategic need
00:03:08for the rest of the countries joining this alliance. Syria's presence in it because
00:03:11it provides a true geographical depth and provides
00:03:16by Israel, for example, in the actual ability for this
00:03:18by Iran in alliance to be more extensive and comprehensive and able to effectively
00:03:21achieve the deterrent
00:03:24years from this purpose of its establishment. Therefore, Mr. Jawad, now according to
00:03:28these indicators, is it expected that
00:03:31the discussions and evaluations that
00:03:36please. Well, this Minister Shibani referred to will take
00:03:39a long time for discussion
00:03:43suffer from these and evaluation? What I understood from the statements of the Syrian Foreign Minister
00:03:47is that
00:03:50our situation Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are evaluating
00:03:54how the Damascus government will bear
00:03:57military responsibilities in joint defense. And secondly,
00:04:01if one is attacked,
00:04:05then all are attacked,
00:04:08and all must defend.
00:04:11Syria is currently in a state of
00:04:14gathering military power and wants to
00:04:18reunite
00:04:20I said no, no. what is necessary to make such itself. In the end, the Syrian government, the Syrian state, and the Syrian
00:04:24people
00:04:25on are bearing the burden of salvation from the defunct regime,
00:04:29frankly. Salvation.
00:04:33is this fundamental They want to reunite themselves now,
00:04:36and they are very
00:04:38successful. Now, how can they,
00:04:42in the stage of gathering strength in Syria,
00:04:45if they join the alliance and bear
00:04:51The 9 AM newscast from responsibilities, bear military one of the important economic centers in responsibilities? There are strategic
00:04:54sensitivities for the Syrian state. And for this reason,
00:04:58negotiations are still ongoing between them.
00:05:01There are no obstacles, as you and the
00:05:05guests mentioned. But it is
00:05:08at a sensitive stage now,
00:05:11negotiations on the in a military confrontation with Israel. As you mentioned,
00:05:13within two years, more than a thousand
00:05:17times there was an aerial
00:05:20Israeli
00:05:24movements are still ongoing. There are
00:05:27great responsibilities on all three countries
00:05:30as well, and for this reason, negotiations are ongoing,
00:05:33but what we know is that these are constructive
00:05:36and positive negotiations for Syria and for the three countries.
00:05:40Yes, there are no obstacles, as Mr. Jawad says,
00:05:44but it seems that there are, let's say,
00:05:47challenges, complexities.
00:05:51The general atmosphere
00:05:54and evaluation.
00:05:57I disagree with you, my dear brother,
00:06:01and I believe that Syria's entry
00:06:04Defense Alliance. This is not my opinion, I mean, this is how
00:06:07I understood Mr. Jawad and from
00:06:10some comments. The important thing is that I disagree with everyone
00:06:14who believes that Syria should wait longer
00:06:17to join this alliance. First, Syria has proven
00:06:21its security and military competence. Let me give you
00:06:25examples: how many times has Syria been able to thwart
00:06:28the Iranian enemy's attempts to deliver weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon via
00:06:31Iraq? The Syrian security forces, I mean, thwarted
00:06:35these attempts every time, and these are great security successes. How many times
00:06:39have the Syrian security forces been able to confront the terrorist
00:06:42project, whether from ISIS or Iran or from any other country that tries to
00:06:46undermine Syrian internal security?
00:06:49Also, in terms of the readiness
00:06:52of Syrian soldiers, even if there are no
00:06:56weapons, weapons can be provided by rich countries, but there are
00:06:59qualified human cadres
00:07:03wars inside the Syrian
00:07:07state. Now,
00:07:10alliances are forming. Syria is a pivotal state.
00:07:14This alliance, what does it seek, my dear brother? It seeks to establish security in the Middle
00:07:18East. Syria deserves to also be a safe
00:07:22state, and it is also a message to Israel when
00:07:25Syria joins this alliance, which includes
00:07:28Pakistan as a nuclear state possessing about 80 nuclear warheads,
00:07:33النيتو السعوديه كقوه اقتصاديه وسياسيه
00:07:36and military power
00:07:39as well, which is very large. It is not required for Syria to have military
00:07:43capabilities. These can be
00:07:46funded
00:07:50should not be absent
00:07:54security and military landscape and dangerous alliances.
00:07:58Now, the Middle East is perhaps on the verge of very big wars,
00:08:02an American war. Dr. Omar said that Syria is currently in
00:08:08the security and military
00:08:11joining this alliance quickly
00:08:15enhance capacity building
00:08:18Exactly, exactly, because among
00:08:21the documents or clauses of this alliance
00:08:25is military and security exchange and security and military
00:08:29expertise, and this helps Syria, and also
00:08:32Syria transfers its experience. Now, my dear brother,
00:08:35we do not have the luxury
00:08:38of time. Time is passing. This
00:08:43is a fundamental point. Let me direct it to His Excellency the Brigadier General. We do not have the luxury
00:08:46of time now, to wait long until this
00:08:50step is taken, which, as the Minister said, we repeat,
00:08:53there are now discussions to evaluate it. Okay,
00:08:57so discussions are present. And the discussions are about evaluating
00:09:03and our ability to join and what is required.
00:09:06What will we offer to this alliance? And what will the alliance offer us? And now the point
00:09:10that we are discussing, and perhaps there is a slight difference between Dr.
00:09:13Omar's vision and Mr. Dahham's vision about whether
00:09:17there should be an acceleration in these discussions
00:09:21to reach the step of Syria actually joining the Mecca alliance,
00:09:24or should there be caution until things
00:09:27are more ready in terms of, as we said earlier,
00:09:31rebuilding capabilities in general for
00:09:35Syria. Yes, Syria is currently in a recovery phase
00:09:38the military level, on the economic level, on the security
00:09:40level, on the political level. All these matters, so
00:09:44there are healthy successes for Syrians achieved at the political
00:09:48and diplomatic level, at the level of drug trade, at the level of border
00:09:51control and control over all Syrian territories.
00:09:54But there must be enhanced
00:09:58military capabilities, enhanced security
00:10:01capabilities. Are we ready
00:10:05if anything is asked of us? Therefore, the evaluation must be sound
00:10:08and correct. Surely, the discussions
00:10:10will be about these matters regarding
00:10:14our Syrian capabilities. Have we reached
00:10:17deterrent capabilities in Syria
00:10:21that can achieve everything asked of us? Because as I said earlier,
00:10:24there are duties and rights for this
00:10:28alliance, for these countries that join it. Naturally,
00:10:31I say Syria's joining this alliance
00:10:35is a great gain for Syria and for the alliance. Yes,
00:10:38as a result of Syria's very important geopolitical
00:10:42location, especially as it is a crossing point, especially
00:10:45after the war in Hormuz and the straits, there are
00:10:49many who now want Syria because it is the link between
00:10:53the Gulf countries and
00:10:55speaking of the Gulf countries, also the other remarkable statement
00:10:59by the Minister of Foreign Affairs when he said that Damascus will not
00:11:02stand idly by in the face of any aggression targeting
00:11:06the Arab Gulf. What are
00:11:09the meanings, indicators, and implications here? The meanings
00:11:12and indicators are clear. First, the Gulf.
00:11:16We are sister Arab countries that
00:11:19supported Syria, especially after
00:11:21liberation, with very great and absolute support.
00:11:25And it is a duty to be with them in any
00:11:28aggression or attack
00:11:31against them. This means that there might currently be
00:11:35another new war in the Gulf region concerning
00:11:38America, Israel, and Iran.
00:11:41Mostly, the target is the Gulf countries directly.
00:11:45They must seek expertise. So, Syria
00:11:48can provide security expertise, military expertise,
00:11:52logistical expertise,
00:11:55and many other types of expertise in all fields
00:11:59needed by the brothers in the Gulf countries. Therefore,
00:12:03the Minister said that the security of the Gulf is the security of Syria.
00:12:06And in fact, there must be an Arab system. I imagine if this alliance succeeds
00:12:10with these accelerating steps it is taking,
00:12:14and a country like Syria
00:12:17especially in many areas where it has
00:12:20great experience in internal and external warfare, in addition
00:12:25in the future, this alliance will become
00:12:29a truly large alliance that rivals NATO
00:12:33and the former Warsaw Pact and alliances in the European
00:12:36Union. So there are systems forming
00:12:40and the world is forming something new every day. The alliance is important
00:12:43and very necessary for all Arab countries and not just the region's
00:12:46countries, and very important for these countries.
00:12:50Okay, Dr. Omar, when
00:12:53the Minister of Foreign Affairs explicitly states
00:12:57that Damascus will not stand idly by in the face
00:13:00of any aggression targeting the Arab Gulf, what should
00:13:05statement? Do you think that
00:13:09there might be a change in
00:13:12the way Syria
00:13:15supports the Gulf in case
00:13:19of any aggression?
00:13:22It should be understood, Mr. Muhammad, the precise meaning
00:13:25of the word is that Syria will not leave the security
00:13:28of the region at the mercy
00:13:32of the ambitions of lawless militias
00:13:35supported by Iran or other parties, such as those supported
00:13:41Sweida, or supported
00:13:43Yemen, Iraq, or Lebanon, because Syria has suffered
00:13:47greatly over 15
00:13:49encroachment of the influence of lawless
00:13:53militias, which caused the bloodshed of hundreds
00:13:57of thousands of Syrians, and it has long experience in confronting
00:14:00these militias and can offer this expertise to the Gulf countries,
00:14:04especially the brothers in Saudi Arabia who
00:14:08continuous attacks by Houthi militias. So,
00:14:12this word was directed from the heart of Manama to countries
00:14:15that suffer from the problem of these militias'
00:14:19attacks, and it is necessary to understand that the geopolitical
00:14:22transformation of Syria's
00:14:25new position from a key member in an alliance or in
00:14:28Iran's axis, which worked to undermine the security and stability
00:14:32of the region, to a state that supports Arab depth
00:14:35and common Arab security for this region is
00:14:39a precise and clear direction, and Syria is ready, of course,
00:14:42to provide
00:14:45a path successful. This is from one perspective. From another perspective, my brother
00:14:48Muhammad, I believe,
00:14:51and I speak as a researcher,
00:14:55that what Syria currently lacks
00:14:58and pivotal presence within a regional
00:15:02alliance that provides a deterrent network that protects
00:15:05شبكه ردع يحمي سوريا ويقدم لها الحصانات
00:15:09the challenges it faces in confronting the Israeli enemy
00:15:12and the internal security challenges posed by
00:15:15militias and some extremist terrorist groups that
00:15:18still threaten Syria's security and stability and can
00:15:22threaten the stability of the region
00:15:26and block the return of Iranian
00:15:29influence to the region again. This Syrian
00:15:32presence and attendance, despite the challenges
00:15:36and risks it faces, is vital and strategic for the future
00:15:39of the Syrian state and can effectively contribute with other
00:15:43regional partners such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and perhaps Jordan at
00:15:46a later stage, to ensure the security and stability of the region
00:15:49as a common benefit for all, despite all that
00:15:53the matter requires in terms of commitments that I previously referred to in
00:15:56my intervention a little while ago, which are
00:16:00the Syrian state, but these alliances must have
00:16:03prices, just as they have benefits and common
00:16:06interests. Okay, Mr. Dahham, since we are talking about
00:16:10the issue of the statements made by
00:16:14the Foreign Minister regarding Damascus's position, which
00:16:17he affirmed would not stand idly by in the face of any aggression
00:16:22statement, in the Gulf, specifically
00:16:25in Saudi Arabia, how is it understood, how is it read, how is it viewed?
00:16:27Certainly,
00:16:30the Foreign Minister's statement is the statement
00:16:36the Syrian people, that there is a strong
00:16:39relationship between the Syrian people and the peoples
00:16:43of the Gulf. And of course, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
00:16:46is the largest Gulf state, and the relationship between
00:16:50Saudi Arabia and Syria is like talking about twins.
00:16:53We are at a stage where the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Syria might even be at a stage where Syria
00:16:56is closer to Saudi Arabia than all other Gulf states, to be frank.
00:17:00Syria is a pivotal state, and we and Syria now,
00:17:03even when His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke,
00:17:07he said that Syria
00:17:10has something like a twin relationship with Saudi Arabia,
00:17:13and that there will be unified projects
00:17:17in most ministries. Good. Furthermore, Syria
00:17:21at this stage can transfer its experience in thwarting
00:17:24the Persian project in Syria. It can transfer
00:17:27it to Yemen, for example. It can transfer this expertise to Saudi Arabia
00:17:31and Pakistan in case of an Iranian-Saudi war, for example.
00:17:34Syria can also benefit from the tripartite alliance
00:17:37in responding to Iranian attacks or Israeli
00:17:41attacks, or,
00:17:44for example, supplying Syria with what it needs in terms of
00:17:47military equipment, security expertise, I mean, Syria
00:17:50is useful to this alliance, and the alliance is useful to Syria at a time when
00:17:54alliances are forming,
00:17:59region or the Middle East will only be protected by its people.
00:18:02And frankly, Syria has returned to its Arab
00:18:06embrace, and those who talk about needing
00:18:09a long time, training, and that there are
00:18:12things we don't know,
00:18:14Syria can, excuse me, my dear brother, Syria can
00:18:18deal with all the remaining issues, completing the resolution of the remaining problems, if there is
00:18:21a security problem or a military problem or so on within the Syrian state
00:18:25during its accession to this alliance. Now, my dear brother,
00:18:28there are rapidly accelerating events
00:18:32on a daily basis, and you don't know when conflicts will erupt
00:18:35at any moment. In two days, the American
00:18:38midterm elections will begin.
00:18:41The Israeli elections. A
00:18:44war could break out, a mini-World War III.
00:18:47Syria should not be alone. It should be, he said a little
00:18:51while ago, for example, Syria's relationship with Turkey is good as a country, or with Saudi Arabia
00:18:55is good. This is excellent, but it differs when there is
00:18:59a documented, written alliance between two countries, where one country has the right
00:19:02to intervene and the other country has the right to request assistance from this
00:19:06country. This means it is more organized.
00:19:10And this is now Syria's chance to
00:19:13statement you are making, Mr. Dahham, leads us to ask,
00:19:17does it seem now that Saudi Arabia is the most
00:19:21eager party for Syria to join the Mecca alliance?
00:19:25Mr. Jawad, what is your opinion?
00:19:28Saudi Arabia has a greater desire than the other parties to the alliance for Syria
00:19:32to join. Yes, in the end, everyone says
00:19:35that if Syria joins the Mecca Agreement, this
00:19:39means that the Israeli pressure, especially on
00:19:42Syria, will be in an equation, and also
00:19:46there will be Syrian-Turkish normalization and Syrian-Arab
00:19:49normalization will be complete,
00:19:53and also Syria. Syrian-Turkish, Mr. Mr. Jawad.
00:19:58Normalization after the defunct regime, meaning
00:20:01to have relations at a higher
00:20:05level. And also, Syria
00:20:20and also Syria will be
00:20:24the region. This is a very important point, especially, for example,
00:20:28the pipeline from Iraq to Syria, and as I said, the development road from
00:20:31Iraq to Syria to Turkey, Syria will be one of
00:20:35the important commercial centers to
00:20:37the Mecca agreement. This point is also an important point, and for this reason,
00:20:41everyone wants it, but as Mr. Shibani said,
00:20:44it needs
00:20:48details of the issue.
00:20:52remain an alliance. To be more
00:20:55precise in our terminology, Mr. Jawad,
00:20:58the Minister of Foreign Affairs said evaluations, not negotiations. Yes,
00:21:01evaluations. Yes, evaluations of the details
00:21:05of the issue so that the alliance's
00:21:08participation of Syria is a strong participation, frankly. Yes.
00:21:12Okay. Reference was made to
00:21:15the economic benefits or returns
00:21:18that might come if
00:21:22we reached this step, which the Foreign Minister said
00:21:25is currently being discussed
00:21:28and evaluated. What are the most important economic returns, Brigadier General?
00:21:31We mentioned that Syria enjoys
00:21:35a very important geopolitical location, connecting
00:21:39many
00:21:42the outside world, especially since it has large coastlines connecting
00:21:46to Europe and connecting to America and everything. The most important thing
00:21:50now is
00:21:53the issue of oil and oil transit. This is very important.
00:21:57Especially since if the Strait of Hormuz is
00:22:00completely closed, especially after the war, there are other
00:22:04routes and crossings, whether for oil or
00:22:07other than oil. There are previously
00:22:11existing routes connecting us to Iraq, connecting
00:22:14us to Saudi Arabia, connecting us to Jordan.
00:22:17The M4 and M5, all these roads are very important.
00:22:21These roads are for global trade, for international
00:22:23trade. Instead of there being
00:22:27a full cycle, especially if, for example, the Strait of Hormuz, Bab al-Mandeb, and the Suez
00:22:31Canal are closed, perhaps at another stage, because if
00:22:35Bab al-Mandeb is closed, the Suez Canal will have no
00:22:38role. So there are land routes, and all countries,
00:22:41the Gulf countries and
00:22:43the countries of the region in general, are seeking
00:22:47these corridors that it enjoys.
00:23:01Okay, the episode's time is almost over. I have
00:23:04one minute left, which I will distribute among my dear guests if they have
00:23:08any final comments. Dr. Omar, do you have a final
00:23:11comment? Yes, in fact, the issue of
00:23:15the economic benefits that Syria can gain from joining
00:23:18the alliance. The alliance
00:23:21of security and stability in the region, which is the environment that
00:23:25Syria currently needs to ensure the flow
00:23:29of funds to investors and their activities
00:23:32to help Syria in the reconstruction phase and the recovery
00:23:35path. This is a very important issue, in fact, in addition
00:23:40alliance strengthening its diplomatic opportunities in
00:23:43confronting some parties that
00:23:47try to block Syria in its reconstruction
00:23:50efforts, in addition, of course, to it providing, to some extent,
00:23:54deterrent cover in the face of challenges with the Israeli enemy,
00:23:57all of which are positive benefits. Perhaps
00:24:01we will discuss the challenges and difficulties at another
00:24:04stage or time. Mr. Dahham, do you have a final comment? I believe that Syria's
00:24:08accession must happen
00:24:11quickly, I mean, to the
00:24:15alliance in Mecca, and anyone who doubts Syria's
00:24:18accession soon, I believe,
00:24:20is missing the truth in reading the political scene, and you will see Syria
00:24:23soon within this alliance.
00:24:26I have ten seconds, Mr. Jawad.
00:24:30The legitimacy that Syria has gained, and a united
00:24:34and strong Syria, which everyone
00:24:36wants, this is what will be with its participation.
00:24:40Thank you very much, Mr. Jawad Dogu, the Turkish political analyst. You were
00:24:44with us from Istanbul. I also thank Mr. Hamel Al-Enezi from Riyadh, the Saudi
00:24:48journalist, Dr. Omar Adlabi,
00:24:50the writer and political researcher from Doha, and I thank our guest in the studio, Brigadier General Munir
00:24:54Al-Hariri, the security expert. Thank you and thanks to you, dear
00:24:57viewers. Tomorrow, God willing, there will be a new episode at
00:25:019 PM. Goodbye.
00:26:07In fact, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation, and this is
00:26:11a confirmation of the strength and solidity of the relationship between
00:26:14Iraq and Syria, and God willing, this will be a good start
00:26:18for future and strategic projects, God
00:26:21willing.
00:26:26Historical relations connect the two countries. There are also economic
00:26:30ties.
00:26:39We are very happy, by God, with this
00:26:42warm reception, and we see that your hearts
00:26:45welcomed us before your eyes. Geography says
00:26:49that the neighbor is closer to home, but wisdom
00:26:53says that the one with closer blood is closer, and God willing, the blood of Iraq and the blood
00:26:56of Syria is one blood, and perhaps our two brains are more
00:27:00than that, because we give a lot of brain. We are with you, God
00:27:04willing, one people living in two countries, and we want
00:27:08to revive our history, we want to restore economic
00:27:11cooperation, political cooperation,
00:27:15at the Arab level or the Islamic world.
00:27:19Your security is our security,
00:27:22and vice versa. And God willing, soon
00:27:26we await your coming, God willing, you will enlighten us in your second home,
00:27:29and you will be the hosts, guests of God.
00:27:33May God protect you in Damascus. Yes, it's very
00:27:37poetic.
00:27:39It is very important that we invest your presence today
00:27:43in your second country, Damascus, so that we can begin
00:27:46a roadmap that will hopefully be long
00:27:48and sustainable.
00:27:58Oh, Syria, I am with you until death, above.
00:28:16It is a stand for survival and to confirm that we
00:28:20are clinging to this land and will never leave it.
00:28:23Oh God, oh God,
00:28:27God.
00:28:37To confirm that Syria is one and united and the Syrian
00:28:40people of all their sects are one.
00:29:12We are all one people, all Syrian governorates are one, and the Syrian
00:29:16people are one, and we are against Israeli interventions.
