00:00:00one of the explosive belts that was reported by
00:00:03civilians citizens, and therefore
00:00:06communication and
00:00:09we still don't know who establishment of an operations room and immediate reports to the forces
00:00:13of the Ministry of Interior and the security apparatus. I believe at
00:00:16this moment, as a direct and immediate
00:00:20measure to address these threats, this is the most important
00:00:23point, meaning that the report of the citizen and the
00:00:27person in the street should be received immediately and
00:00:30followed up by the security agencies, as happened, for example,
00:00:33in many cases. For example, in the Al-Wurud neighborhood, several improvised explosive devices
00:00:37were foiled, and in the Qudsaya suburb,
00:00:40it was also planted in one of the buses. This method has become common,
00:00:44and therefore, inspecting buses and inspecting any
00:00:47strange car, that society be part of security,
00:00:51this is very important, and it is among the basic pillars, and that there be
00:00:54a communication body, and direct coordination channels between the government
00:00:58and society so that complaints reach directly. This is first.
00:01:02Secondly, the logistical equipment,
00:01:04among which
00:01:07institutions are not only responsible for maintaining security. It Syria was deprived and prohibited from and how should this due to sanctions, is surveillance cameras.
00:01:10Today, surveillance cameras have become an urgent
00:01:14with relations with the Arab neighbors, with necessity, more than anything else, more than
00:01:17any other service issue, and I am speaking
00:01:20and its dissolution into urgently and necessarily about filling
00:01:24the capital, Damascus, especially the highly
00:01:27people who are not sensitive areas
00:01:30with surveillance cameras and monitoring devices. The other
00:01:34issue is also the methods of dealing and tactics.
00:01:38They must follow an unconventional approach. Today, it seems that the
00:01:42old approach is no longer feasible, and the
00:01:45Ministry of Interior has started this through, as you know, the recent
00:01:48appointments in the Ministry of Interior and the intelligence service and the formation of the
00:01:52National Security Office, which
00:01:54will benefit
00:01:55to provoke this will oversee all and formulate the intelligence policies of the
00:01:58Syrian state. Perhaps these changes have not yet yielded their
00:02:01results on the ground, but perhaps we will see in the coming
00:02:05because violence only days many
00:02:07begets violence, and this positive results in this regard. Intelligence vigilance, alertness,
00:02:11and constant awareness
00:02:13Syria, and the state should of dangers. Today, ISIS has moved from
00:02:15the deserts and from
00:02:19eavesdrop, anything, to follow up on this open areas to become integrated
00:02:19speaking with this kind of within the residential environment and among society. Any strange
00:02:22person who comes to the shop or to
00:02:25strategy for this matter. Yes, the alley or to the neighborhood, questions are asked about him, and he is reported if
00:02:28his situation is suspicious, his movements
00:02:31are suspicious, until the security agencies come. No neglecting anything. Everything
00:02:35it guides its elements through channels on means, also, this issue, permit me, Mr. Dia, vigilance
00:02:38is important, caution is important, but that
00:02:42monitoring is done in this way, meaning
00:02:44sometimes the matter is used incorrectly and becomes
00:02:48a tool of surveillance over citizens. To what extent, who sets
00:02:53Jaramana and shots from the controls and standards for these procedures? This is what
00:02:56means today, Ms. Rab'a,
00:02:59or the region. It is not neglected there are strict security controls and decisive
00:03:02ones that are placed in the most democratic countries in the world, without affecting that at all. What are
00:03:06these standards? So that the matter is not used incorrectly.
00:03:09The standards are the most important
00:03:14the government and security agencies, but this discourse and discourse that incites thing, which is intellectual awareness and culture for
00:03:19the weakness of the organization, that this those who apply this law, meaning whoever sits in,
00:03:22in a position of decision
00:03:25and in the executive tools, should not take these
00:03:28controls and these
00:03:31restrictions or security monitoring
00:03:35elements from as a means to implement personal desires or something
00:03:39in the previous to, and these, whether they know else. But today, regardless, the Syrian state can apply these
00:03:43measures as other countries apply them, without
00:03:46affecting personal freedoms or other
00:03:50issues related to life, freedom,
00:04:00you talked about many
00:04:03brother or a Muslim or political messages that perhaps
00:04:05the perpetrator of this terrorist bombing wanted to send. To what extent
00:04:08is the Syrian state at this
00:04:11stage, and through its
00:04:15internal and external policies,
00:04:19able to absorb such shocks and crises
00:04:23published in the and deal with them, and indeed
00:04:26make good progress, as
00:04:30it has tried to do over the past period, regarding maintaining the security
00:04:33and stability of Syria?
00:04:37is perhaps the last thing in The new Syria has been exposed to several aftershocks,
00:04:41who is the responsible party I mean, from the events on the coast in March
00:04:43of last year,
00:04:47then Sweida, the Israeli factor pressing
00:04:50heavily on the Syrian state, whether its interventions in
00:04:53internal affairs, an attempt to support
00:04:57some militias or occupying some positions in
00:05:00southern Syria, yet
00:05:03Syria, in fact, faces all these pressures
00:05:07and all these challenges. It was able to, yes, perhaps the
00:05:11Sweida file was also a thorny file, somewhat, perhaps until
00:05:14now, but for example, the eastern region file,
00:05:17through dialogue, it was able to reach a solution, and through
00:05:21a decree issued by the President of the Republic, and the process
00:05:25of final integration
00:05:27is still ongoing. So I believe that Syria is capable
00:05:30today, not only because
00:05:34the government, the state, I am not talking only about the state
00:05:36as a government, I mean, through the security agencies,
00:05:40follow-up, and intelligence.
00:05:42It can overcome these crises. In the end, I believe that the Syrian
00:05:46people, all Syrians, are now
00:05:49at a moment where
00:05:53they support the new phase in Syria, they support the new era in
00:05:56Syria. They are tired of the scenes of blood, the scenes of killing,
00:06:00and there is, especially, that everyone is following that there is
00:06:04a great openness towards Syria, a trend that has
00:06:08not happened for Syria since independence, Arab
00:06:11and international support.
00:06:14for Syria, for President Al-Shara's attendance at the United Nations summit last
00:06:18year, his visit to the White House,
00:06:20his meetings with President Trump for the third
00:06:23time,
00:06:27the region, the positive messages that the
00:06:30state and President Al-Shara always work to send, and they actually began
00:06:34with the liberation of Syria since the response to aggression operation, when
00:06:37he launched or through a video, messages to the Prime Minister
00:06:41of Iraq, Muhammad Shia, all of that. Therefore, I
00:06:44believe that the Syrian people are now on
00:06:47I mean, regarding messages to the interior as well, Mr. Abdul
00:06:51Karim, especially in a region like Jaramana and the sensitivity of the matter
00:06:55and what is happening on social media, to what extent
00:06:59are messages to the interior also important
00:07:02now at this stage?
00:07:06Um, I believe that even the incident that happened last year in
00:07:09Jaramana, and the state was able, I mean, through
00:07:12discussions and dialogue that took place between state officials and
00:07:16the dignitaries of Jaramana, to reach understandings and
00:07:19a solution, and Jaramana is part of the capital, Damascus, part of
00:07:23Syria, and not another city, and therefore, whoever goes
00:07:26there does not feel that he is entering
00:07:28a strange area to him intellectually, culturally, or
00:07:32socially. The Syrian people are a good people, and a coexistence
00:07:36people, and, I mean,
00:07:39especially after the departure of the Assad regime and the liberation of Syria. Therefore, today,
00:07:43I believe that the state, what happened a few
00:07:47days ago from the act
00:07:49of some followers of Al-Hijri assaulting activist
00:07:53Raed Al-Sadiq, also this incident a few days
00:07:57ago, I believe that the Syrian state
00:08:00will undoubtedly be performing its condolences, and there will
00:08:04be visits by state
00:08:08officials to the city
00:08:11at all. But today, I want to regulate the situation
00:08:15completely. It is necessary, and we always remind of this,
00:08:18that the state should have a presidential
00:08:21decree criminalizing and prohibiting sectarian
00:08:26hatred, because in the end,
00:08:29this will further fragment Syrian society. I mean,
00:08:32after this, after what happened in Jaramana, we will find social
00:08:36media teeming with those who want to ignite more
00:08:39strife and pour
00:08:42oil on the fire, and that there is a targeting operation
00:08:46for a specific sect, and there are those who always want
00:08:51it or not, they are I mean,
00:08:54they work against the state and against the Syrian
00:08:58people. Therefore, today, all Syrians, in every
00:09:01incident that passes, after 14 years of revolution,
00:09:04war, conflict, and bloodshed, and 50 years of
00:09:08autocratic rule, and after the Syrian society has become intensely divided and fragmented,
00:09:12I believe that we are at a historical moment where either
00:09:16Syrians unite and rally around each other at
00:09:19dialogue tables, in discussion sessions, in cafes, everywhere,
00:09:23that the state be the compass, and that the slogan
00:09:26"Syria First" be everyone's goal, and that we all work, regardless
00:09:30of who disagrees with the government on some opinions, on some
00:09:33positions, who disagrees with the performance of the ministers,
00:09:37yet we must all work to move Syria
00:09:41from the state of emerging from the ashes
00:09:44and from under the rubble
00:09:47to proceeding with steps
00:09:50and measures, especially after the opening
00:09:53of the People's Assembly or the convening of its sessions, that there be
00:09:56new decisions from the Syrian leadership that will bring good
00:10:00and benefit to all of Syria. Okay,
00:10:02Mr. Muhammad, if we also asked
00:10:05you, in terms of security and
00:10:09military, to what extent
00:10:13are these organizations
00:10:16that are outside the framework of the state and are trying to destabilize
00:10:20the security and stability of the country, to what extent are they able to
00:10:23change their strategy and change their criminal
00:10:26methods from time to time in order to continue
00:10:30carrying out such acts? I mean,
00:10:34carried out the attack. There are analyses from you and from guests
00:10:38that perhaps talk about ISIS, perhaps they are the remnants. We don't
00:10:42know who, but to what extent are these
00:10:49continue these
00:10:51acts that destabilize the security
00:10:58there are many beneficiaries
00:11:01of these bombings. There is a Russian
00:11:04proverb that says, if you want to dry up
00:11:07the stagnant springs, you must
00:11:10dry up the main source. If you want to dry
00:11:13up the small stagnant rivers, you must
00:11:16dry up the main source from which these
00:11:19small springs flow. I believe
00:11:23today that the Syrian state
00:11:25must be decisive in many files that
00:11:28threaten Syrian security. I mean,
00:11:32the SDF file and the Qandil file in northern
00:11:35Syria must be decisively
00:11:38and quickly resolved, because in northern
00:11:41Syria, there are those who are not pleased with the integration of the SDF
00:11:45Syrian society. Also, there are
00:11:48those with Al-Hijri, the agent, there are also
00:11:52pleased with Syria's stability. Therefore,
00:11:56they carry out these actions. Why don't
00:11:58we assume that there is a person sent by Al-Hijri
00:12:02to strike this component that refused
00:12:06to follow Al-Hijri
00:12:08and his aspirations to bring the Zionist enemy
00:12:12to Syria? Why don't we assume that there is
00:12:15a Qasab who wanted, from Al-Hijri,
00:12:20dear component to our hearts, which is the
00:12:23Druze component? Hmm. Also, there is the issue
00:12:26of the remnants. There are many remnants that have not
00:12:30settled down yet, and unfortunately, they have
00:12:33hope for a certain situation. In my opinion,
00:12:36the state has given a lot, a lot
00:12:40of freedom and room for
00:12:43leniency with those people. In my opinion, it is necessary
00:12:46to strike hard, I mean, the matter must be firm
00:12:50and swift. We have trained security
00:12:53forces. And we have a trained
00:12:56army. We also have dangers on the borders,
00:13:00but internally, it is necessary to strike with an iron
00:13:03fist against those killers, until their sources
00:13:07are dried up at Al-Hijra or in
00:13:10areas, I mean, Muhammad,
00:13:14the phrase "strike with an iron fist" perhaps means
00:13:17something misunderstood, but you know that
00:13:20dealing with violence, the state tries
00:13:23to avoid it, especially in these sensitive stages,
00:13:27and because, I mean, we may see violations, perhaps
00:13:30the matter will backfire with results
00:13:34that harm the Syrian state. Are there other methods that can
00:13:38be used to control those who commit such criminal
00:13:41acts?
00:13:44Madam, the Syrian state has not left any door or any
00:13:47field that it deals with citizens
00:13:51and with all the components
00:13:54in Syria without pursuing it. It has punished its
00:14:00the Public Security and from the police and from the army. It has not
00:14:04been lenient with anyone in the state, but
00:14:07these people who create these
00:14:10terrorist problems, Madam Rab'a, cannot
00:14:14be dealt with with mercy and ease. Those
00:14:17are murderous criminals who kill Syrian
00:14:19citizens. This bomb does not differentiate
00:14:23between, excuse me, between a Christian
00:14:28anything. The bomb does not differentiate. Those must be dealt with
00:14:31decisively, and they must be pursued, and they must, and I
00:14:35believe, I believe, and I launched it some time ago with the security
00:14:39agencies, there must be cooperation between
00:14:42citizens and the security agencies, and there should be
00:14:45phone numbers
00:14:48streets for reporting any suspicious
00:14:52person, any suspicious package, any car. I mean,
00:14:56frankly, Ms. Ruba, today, if
00:14:59I see an explosive device in the street, frankly, I don't know who
00:15:02to call. I don't know
00:15:06for this matter, so I can call them. There must be more
00:15:09transparency. Don't you fear that such
00:15:13numbers might be used, for example, if found, for false reports
00:15:16to occupy the state with incorrect matters,
00:15:19for malicious matters, for example? I mean, a moment ago we were talking with Mr.
00:15:23Dia about standards and controls in this matter that might benefit the Ministry
00:15:27of Interior, and at the same time, not
00:15:30be a burden on the state and citizens, because you know, perhaps
00:15:33this matter will be used incorrectly.
00:15:38Madam Rab'a, when a call is made, of course,
00:15:41I am telling you, security-wise, in all countries, security monitoring, when
00:15:45a call is made from any number, the name of the owner
00:15:48of the number is taken, and his address
00:15:52is taken. Therefore, any caller to any
00:15:55number, his number will be taken, and he will identify
00:15:58himself. It is not, I mean, perhaps there may be
00:16:01some malicious transgressions, but the state can,
00:16:05when there is any report, confirm
00:16:08it. It is not necessary to immediately besiege and
00:16:12cordon off the area and make arrests. No,
00:16:15it receives a call that there is a suspicious object in a certain area.
00:16:19Secret patrols from the secret criminal police
00:16:23monitor, then support comes when
00:16:26they confirm the presence of a package or a criminal or a wanted person or so on. Ah, yes,
00:16:30that means it verifies with specific
00:16:33security procedures, and this facilitates its work
00:16:37and does not occupy it with malicious things or
00:16:47we ask, as we asked Mr. Muhammad, what can
00:16:51be done to dry up
00:16:54the sources of these criminal terrorist acts, regardless of
00:16:58their origin? And to what extent can these
00:17:01groups and organizations
00:17:05change their operating mechanisms so that they can carry out and continue such
00:17:09criminal acts that destabilize the security
00:17:12and stability of Syria? Yes, Ms. Rab'a, I mean, today,
00:17:15confronting the terrorist threat
00:17:18requires a long-term strategy, a long-term
00:17:22one. I mean, this is perhaps something we do not
00:17:24like to hear. I mean, with the rebuilding
00:17:27of the state, the return of stability, the desire
00:17:31for investments to come, but the terrorist threat
00:17:34will still threaten Syria and will strike
00:17:37here and there. The continuous terrorist threat requires
00:17:40continuous security pressure and requires continuous vigilance.
00:17:44Its treatment.
00:17:46We talked perhaps about the immediate issues
00:17:50such as reports, coordination channels,
00:17:53logistical equipment, surveillance cameras,
00:17:57detection devices, and so on, but there must be a complete
00:18:02in the long run, it requires a long-term strategy,
00:18:05including, I mean, dismantling the roots of extremism. This organization is built
00:18:09on ideological beliefs. Today,
00:18:13Telegram, it publishes its propaganda on Al-Naba newspaper, it accuses the Syrian
00:18:16state of being an agent, it describes President Al-Shara also as an agent,
00:18:20and it claims that the Syrian state has become an agent,
00:18:24and even the People's Assembly. You saw the tightened security
00:18:27measures to protect the members of the People's
00:18:31Assembly. Therefore, we are talking
00:18:34about a long-term confrontation, and by the way,
00:18:38the operations in 2026, the number
00:18:40of ISIS operations compared to 2025 is
00:18:44numerically less, perhaps a 25% decrease, and this
00:18:48is due to the measures taken by
00:18:51numerical decrease does not mean the end of the threat, nor does it mean
00:18:56organization is no longer dangerous. It seeks
00:18:59easy targets and targets through which
00:19:03it can cause the largest number. It wants sabotage.
00:19:07It is waging a war of attrition, and it is no longer an organization
00:19:11as it used to be. I mean, attributing the description of an organization to
00:19:14ISIS is not strong, I mean, it is not correct today from a military
00:19:18and security point of view. This organization is now like
00:19:22today, perhaps it can
00:19:24be likened to a security operations room that is led in a decentralized
00:19:28manner, in a complex manner, several disparate
00:19:31cells that do not communicate with each other, individuals
00:19:34perhaps not affiliated with, not affiliated
00:19:38I mean, nominally with the organization, but
00:19:41they are loyal to it ideologically. They carry out actions directed by
00:19:45the organization through social media. Therefore, we are
00:19:49talking about a long-term confrontation that requires intellectual
00:19:52tools, requires economic tools, requires removing
00:19:55all, I mean, other issues, services, and so
00:19:58on. All these issues must be addressed by a comprehensive
00:20:01system that must be worked on. Okay, yes, because
00:20:05security is a comprehensive system. Ms. Security is not just tightening
00:20:09security, monitoring, and strict security measures. This
00:20:14security measures, tightening security. There are many measures
00:20:18that must precede
00:20:28that he talked about within a security strategy
00:20:32that Mr. Dia talked about. In your opinion, also, what are
00:20:36the parties that should work on building
00:20:39this strategy? It is not only the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior or
00:20:43the General Security Service or intelligence. What about
00:20:46other government institutions such as the Ministry of
00:20:50Information, such as service ministries? This collective
00:20:53responsibility now to dry up
00:20:56I mean, any source that
00:20:59might tamper with the security of the
00:21:02country? Who are the responsible parties, in your opinion, also?
00:21:06Or is it a responsibility for the Ministry of Information or Social
00:21:09Affairs? It is the responsibility of society in general. I mean, also, that
00:21:13society should be part of maintaining security, that
00:21:16it should be true, true, but we don't hold society responsible.
00:21:31We are talking about society as individuals, but about civil society
00:21:34institutions.
00:21:37The sessions that are held, the dialogue and discussion sessions that are held
00:21:41today, fill Syria. I mean, these sessions that are held by associations
00:21:44and civil society institutions, and also
00:21:47the Ministry of Information has a large role entrusted to it,
00:21:51and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. All state
00:21:57is not only the responsibility of the security element or the Ministry of Interior or
00:22:00intelligence. The responsibility of maintaining security and controlling the security
00:22:04situation in any place in Syria
00:22:07is the responsibility of everyone, everyone. I mean, everyone
00:22:11must know that preserving lives
00:22:14and property is part of everyone's life.
00:22:17I mean, all people, whatever their work and the nature
00:22:21of their work, should have as their goal, when any
00:22:24person applies the law today, there is no doubt that
00:22:27everyone will make the country's situation good,
00:22:30and this will benefit all
00:22:32Syrians. When people
00:22:34commit
00:22:37to their role in any institution or in any place, whether placing the bus
00:22:40here or placing the bus there, this
00:22:44everyone, and therefore, this indeed requires
00:22:47the effort of all Syrian society, all its institutions,
00:22:51in addition to the state ministries, with a strategic plan
00:22:54to confront the continuation of such
00:22:57bombings. No one wants to see bloodshed in
00:23:03acquire modern surveillance equipment,
00:23:09matter and ensure the lives
00:23:17within this strategy
00:23:20and within the state's efforts, to what extent do we also evaluate
00:23:23the rapid response to such
00:23:27incidents related to
00:23:30I mean, both the medical response and the security
00:23:34response? How do you evaluate the speed of the response
00:23:36within the security system and the government system in
00:23:40Syria?
00:23:42Well, Madam Ruba, in this area,
00:23:46this is credited to the security agencies and police.
00:23:50The agencies affiliated with the Ministry of Health, in fact,
00:23:54not only this explosion or this incident, there were
00:23:57several incidents, especially the previous explosion when President
00:24:01Macron was in Syria. In fact, the speed
00:24:04of response was very strong
00:24:06and fast, whether in terms of medical staff
00:24:10or in terms of firefighting staff
00:24:13and relief, or in terms of
00:24:15police who cut off
00:24:19roads and neutralize the explosion area
00:24:22and check cameras, if they exist in that
00:24:26area. In fact, what the security forces accomplished
00:24:29bombings and in the previous incidents, just a small comment if
00:24:33you would allow me, Mr. Muhammad, that the Civil Defense
00:24:36teams are now announcing the end of response
00:24:40operations for the Jaramana bombing incident. So the Civil
00:24:43Defense teams are now announcing the end of the response
00:24:47to the bombing incident in Jaramana. Go ahead. Yes,
00:24:50yes, so that's why these
00:24:54agencies are credited with the speed of response. Also,
00:24:57citizens also played a big role. I mean, some of them
00:25:01carried out relief before the arrival of emergencies and before
00:25:04the arrival of ambulances. Some of them transported some of the wounded
00:25:07in their private cars, and this also, I mean,
00:25:11is considered and credited to the citizen who
00:25:14cooperates with the state. But, Madam Ruba, if you allow
00:25:18me, I have a very important observation that I would like to direct
00:25:22through Syria TV
00:25:30when the regime fell, the Ministry of Interior and all
00:25:34security agencies were dissolved. There are elements, Madam
00:25:37Ruba, in the previous security agencies who did not
00:25:40get involved in Syrian blood, who did not commit murder.
00:25:44There are trained elements with great experience who were
00:25:47excluded. I hope that they will
00:25:51be summoned and tested
00:25:54and their security files checked.
00:25:57There are experts in the field
00:26:01of security, whoever they may be. Okay,
00:26:03how, how can it be proven that they were not involved in Syrian
00:26:07blood? I mean, this question must be asked. You are a security
00:26:11expert, how, how can that be verified?
00:26:14Very easily, Madam Ruba. As a former officer and security
00:26:18expert, I can interrogate any element
00:26:21and know if this element was involved or not involved.
00:26:24The matter is not that difficult, through
00:26:27his colleagues, through the unit he served in, through
00:26:31his record. These are easy matters for security,
00:26:44a rapid response that is credited to the government
00:26:46agencies. What about the interaction of citizens now,
00:26:50in your opinion, with what happened? To what extent can
00:26:54we say that we rely on the awareness
00:26:57of citizens that we will not see this
00:27:00night again, sectarian mobilization,
00:27:05matter be controlled?
00:27:08Every rational person and everyone who
00:27:11believes in Syria must overcome
00:27:15this point, that we see sectarian mobilization
00:27:18on social media after what
00:27:22happened in Jaramana, because what happened in Jaramana happened days ago or a
00:27:26month ago in Damascus, and it may happen in another place, God forbid.
00:27:30We do not want this situation to continue, God, but yes, yes,
00:27:34and I hope
00:27:36that everyone will avoid speaking always in a sectarian
00:27:39manner in every event. Syria, we find that some people
00:27:43perhaps from all sides I mean, not only from
00:27:46a specific party inciting a sect on social media
00:27:50and talk here and there. This does not serve Syria. Whoever
00:27:53truly wants Syria to be safe, stable,
00:27:57and peaceful, and for its people to enjoy security, must distance themselves from
00:28:01all this discourse, the inciting discourse, the discourse
00:28:04of hatred, the discourse of violence,
00:28:09only comes if
00:28:12certain parties start
00:28:16throwing
00:28:18accusations or
00:28:21rhetoric through social media. In the end, it does not serve
00:28:25Syrians. It does not serve the Syrian people. No one in Syria, neither government
00:28:29nor people, wants to participate in demonstrations.
