00:04:30Thank you for all these details, Amer Al-Aasi,
00:04:34by the Houthi group on our correspondent from Damascus.
00:04:36For more
00:04:39follow-up and analysis, political writer and analyst
00:04:42Professor Omar Kush joins us from Istanbul. Professor
00:04:46its full solidarity with Omar, welcome. So, Al-Shaibani's call
00:04:50to express solidarity
00:04:50and other designated with Saudi Arabia and condemn
00:04:54the targeting of the Kingdom by the Houthi
00:04:57militia, also to offer condolences for the victims
00:05:00of the targeting of King Khalid International Airport in
00:05:03Riyadh. Syrian-Saudi relations are developing
00:05:07day by day, Professor Omar. Where do you
00:05:09think they are heading? Will they be limited to
00:05:12diplomatic relations and solidarity or where will
00:05:15they go? First, good morning to you
00:05:18and all viewers. This call indeed
00:05:22indicates that the strength
00:05:25of the Syrian-Saudi Arab relationship,
00:05:27especially, of course, that
00:05:31Saudi Arabia's security is indeed being violated by
00:05:35the Houthi group, which is loyal to Iran.
00:05:38It is clear, of course, that these
00:05:41attacks are proxy attacks.
00:05:44The evidence for this is that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
00:05:48was being shelled by Iran
00:05:51with missiles and drones, and also by
00:05:54Iran's proxies inside Iraq, of course.
00:05:57Now, the operation has moved to
00:06:01Yemen, and
00:06:05of course, Syria
00:06:08will be the first to stand by the Kingdom of Saudi
00:06:11Arabia, considering that
00:06:14the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has truly
00:06:18been the first to provide
00:06:21aid and also
00:06:23has given a lot
00:06:26to, of course, Syrians
00:06:28after getting rid of the Assad regime. Therefore, in
00:06:32my opinion, these relations can also, meaning,
00:06:37coordination and also into meeting
00:06:40the Kingdom's needs. This means
00:06:44militarily and logistically, especially since, of course, Syria
00:06:47is located in the heart of the Arab Mashriq region,
00:06:51and Iran's proxies, whether in
00:06:55Lebanon, Hezbollah and its followers,
00:07:00Iraq, the militias loyal to Iran,
00:07:03can, of course, Syria, or I mean,
00:07:06Syria has a role in this in this field.
00:07:09And there is no doubt that the prospects of these
00:07:12relations will increase as
00:07:15political and security coordination also increases.
00:07:19Yes. So, how do you interpret
00:07:23the Syrian position, Professor Omar, in light of regional
00:07:26and international developments?
00:07:29Indeed, Syria has now moved from
00:07:32the first stage, which was, in fact,
00:07:36consolidating authority and, of course,
00:07:40gaining Arab and international recognition,
00:07:43to another stage, which is to play
00:07:47regional role also falls within the same framework,
00:07:50meaning it will not be a disturbing or
00:07:53destabilizing role
00:07:56for neighboring countries, but rather within the framework of consolidating
00:07:59this stability.
00:08:02supports this position
00:08:05will be a field for the movement
00:08:09of Syria's active foreign diplomacy.
00:08:13Indeed, the visits made by the Foreign Minister have not
00:08:16stopped to various
00:08:19capitals, especially Arab capitals,
00:08:23of course, and also influential international ones.
00:08:26Therefore, in my opinion, this regional
00:08:29role, meaning, it
00:08:31must also, as much
00:08:35as possible, move away from the policy of axes, meaning
00:08:40under the defunct Assad regime, within the well-known Iranian
00:08:43and Russian axis,
00:08:46and therefore,
00:08:48Syria will not now, or
00:08:51the new Syria, be in an opposing
00:08:54axis. Rather, it will have a natural
00:08:58role as an influential
00:09:01in a direction that balances,
00:09:04of course, relations between countries without standing
00:09:08with one axis against another. Okay,
00:09:11Professor Omar, a few days ago, President
00:09:14Al-Shara visited Riyadh, and this call
00:09:17and the condemnations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
00:09:20Can the situation
00:09:23develop, meaning, here we want to talk about the Mecca
00:09:27alliance
00:09:30the coming days Syria joining the Mecca alliance in
00:09:35in the region?
00:09:37No, Professor Omar,
00:09:40did you hear
00:09:46me? Okay, Professor Omar, a few days ago, President Ahmed Al-Shara
00:09:50visited Riyadh, and today we see
00:09:53a phone call from Al-Shaibani
00:09:56to Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan, and the condemnations by the Ministry
00:10:00of Foreign Affairs of the Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi
00:10:03Arabia. These relations and developments, can
00:10:06they lead to or develop
00:10:10into Syria joining Mecca in light of these regional
00:10:13developments, in your opinion?
00:10:16In my opinion, these contacts and, of course,
00:10:20especially the visit made by President
00:10:23Al-Shara to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, indicate
00:10:27that the security of Saudi Arabia, and what
00:10:31is being plotted against Saudi Arabia, Syria
00:10:34will stand by its side, and
00:10:38what the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requests
00:10:41will indeed be subject to study and attention,
00:10:45and it will also be among the priorities
00:10:49of Syria to be with the Kingdom against, of course, these
00:10:52attacks and against any threat to its security. But
00:10:56will the issue, of course, be related
00:10:59to Syria joining the Mecca alliance
00:11:02or the Mecca coalition? In my opinion, this
00:11:06must be studied, and
00:11:10there can be, meaning, not
00:11:12a full membership, but there can be forms of
00:11:18and cooperation between Syria and, of course, this
00:11:23defense alliance. It is important
00:11:26for Syria to also have, of course, a real deterrent
00:11:30force against, especially, Israeli attacks,
00:11:32and also, from another perspective,
00:11:36Syria will be loyal to the Kingdom of Saudi
00:11:39Arabia and to the truly distinguished relations
00:11:43between it and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
00:11:46But the issue of joining must
00:11:49indeed, meaning, have conditions and also
00:11:53requirements, especially since
00:11:56Syria is now, in fact, still
00:12:00in the process of rebuilding all that the regime destroyed and
00:12:04what the former Assad regime destroyed, especially
00:12:07with regard to the military establishment.
00:12:11The military establishment is still in the process of rebuilding
00:12:14and restructuring, and it needs a lot.
00:12:17Therefore, joining
00:12:20will indeed not be in the military sense,
00:12:24but there can be frameworks, as I said, or there
00:12:28can be mechanisms, in fact, for example,
00:12:32if we consider some international
00:12:35institutions, some countries do not join
00:12:38them, but they find relationships or
00:12:41ways to coordinate or cooperate with them. And this,
00:12:45in my opinion, is the closest thing to what is proposed
00:12:48for Syria with the Mecca alliance, not the issue of joining.
00:12:51I believe it is not in Syria's interest now to
00:12:55join militarily, in the military
00:12:57sense, with an alliance or
00:13:00the Mecca alliance. We
00:13:03know that Israel, in fact,
00:13:07is a factor of instability and a factor that,
00:13:10in fact, seeks to undermine
00:13:13everything that the new authority is trying
00:13:16to build. And
00:13:20Syria cannot, of course, remain silent about
00:13:23all these Israeli aggressions. Therefore, the Mecca
00:13:27alliance can provide support or
00:13:31a deterrent against Israeli aggression, but
00:13:34not in the military sense, because now,
00:13:37in fact,
00:13:41are, whether the American-Israeli-Iranian
00:13:44war, or the war that,
00:13:47of course, the legitimate government
00:13:50is also waging against the Houthis, and the Houthi
00:13:53aggressions against the Kingdom
00:13:57escalation, it is not in Syria's interest to
00:14:01be a factor or part of this escalation.
00:14:03Thank you very much, writer and political analyst Omar
00:14:07Kush, our guest from Istanbul.
00:14:10Thank you. The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation
00:14:14announced the death of a Pakistani resident and the injury
00:14:17of 11 people in a new Houthi
00:14:20attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh yesterday,
00:14:24Sunday. The Authority confirmed in a statement that
00:14:27King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was subjected to an attack,
00:14:31and this is in light of the ongoing attacks targeting
00:14:34civil aviation facilities in the Kingdom, explaining that
00:14:38work is ongoing to complete the assessment of damages
00:14:42and verify the safety
00:14:44of facilities.
00:14:49Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey issued a joint
00:14:53statement
00:14:55condemning the continuous attacks
00:14:59Saudi Arabia, especially the targeting of King Khalid
00:15:02International Airport, describing it as a blatant
00:15:05violation of international law. The group affirmed
00:15:11Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures
00:15:14and steps it takes to confront
00:15:17these attacks and prevent their recurrence,
00:15:20holding the Houthi group fully responsible
00:15:23for these actions and their consequences,
00:15:27and for threatening regional and international
00:15:29peace and security, and demanding
00:15:33their immediate and unconditional
00:15:35cessation.
00:15:42In addition, the diplomatic advisor to the President of the UAE,
00:15:45Anwar Gargash, affirmed that targeting Saudi Arabia
00:15:48undermines the security of the UAE and all Gulf countries,
00:15:52stressing the importance of reviving joint
00:15:57the security and defense fields.
00:16:00Gargash said in a tweet on the X platform
00:16:04countries is indivisible, and that strengthening
00:16:08the collective security system is a necessity
00:16:13considering that negligence in this aspect allowed
00:16:16the violation of Gulf
00:16:19a shared responsibility that cannot tolerate
00:16:21complacency or delay.
00:16:28Saudi Energy Minister Abdul Aziz bin Salman affirmed that the Kingdom
00:16:31has proven its ability to ensure the reliability of energy
00:16:35supplies, continue investment, and prepare
00:16:39to face various circumstances
00:16:41and challenges. He pointed out that Riyadh has become today
00:16:45a global energy security capital, and that
00:16:49to fulfilling its obligations and keen to
00:16:53enhance the reliability of energy supplies in all
00:16:56circumstances. He explained that the East-West pipeline
00:17:00confirms this fact and embodies
00:17:03the Kingdom's foresight in enhancing the flexibility
00:17:06of the energy system, as it provides
00:17:09an alternative route for transporting supplies to global
00:17:13markets via Yanbu on the Red
00:17:16Sea.
00:17:22Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed his country's
00:17:25readiness to help initiate talks between
00:17:28Saudi Arabia and the Houthis during a phone call
00:17:32with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan.
00:17:35For its part, the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated
00:17:39that Araqchi expressed concern during the call
00:17:42about escalating tensions,
00:17:46a military approach and ignoring the political solution
00:17:49would further complicate the current situation.
00:18:04Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed with the deputy
00:18:08commander of the army in Benghazi, Saddam Khalifa Haftar,
00:18:11the file of missing Syrians in Libya during an official
00:18:15visit to the Libyan city of Benghazi.
00:18:18According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
00:18:21during the meeting, ways to
00:18:24issues of common interest were discussed, especially the opening
00:18:28of the Syrian consulate in Benghazi
00:18:31and a number of joint security files between
00:18:34the two sides, in addition to following up
00:18:37on missing Syrian citizens in
00:18:41Libya.
00:18:47The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a consultative
00:18:51workshop in Damascus to develop a national
00:18:54approach to address hate speech
00:18:57with the participation of relevant parties and technical facilitation
00:19:01from experts from the office of the Special Envoy of the
00:19:04United Nations Secretary-General to Syria.
00:19:07with suspicion and mounting fear, while
00:19:10the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with all
00:19:14government bodies in Syria, has worked
00:19:17to rid Syria of these remnants of the chemical
00:19:20weapons era of the Assad regime and the weapons
00:19:23it left behind. These priorities are laid out before
00:19:27our people. The goal is to bring Syria to the form that
00:19:30its people deserve. In this regard, we now
00:19:33observe the presence
00:19:36of unregulated speech that is inconsistent
00:19:40with the principles of the Syrian people and inconsistent
00:19:42with the values that the Syrian people represent
00:19:46and reject fundamentally. Transforming this
00:19:50popular sentiment into
00:19:53a controlled governance framework is the
00:19:56goal of the effort that begins with today's workshop,
00:20:00and it does not begin and end in one workshop,
00:20:03but rather it is a path that began previously through
00:20:07many national bodies, including the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Justice. However,
00:20:11now placing it within a unified effort to achieve a more
00:20:14consistent and organized process between government
00:20:17bodies, national agencies and ministries. We look
00:20:21forward to our discussions today helping us.
00:20:24The Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations to Syria, Claudio
00:20:27Cordone, said in an interview with Syria TV that
00:20:30the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' initiative paves
00:20:34the way for developing an action plan to combat hate speech.
00:20:50a step in developing an action plan
00:20:53against hate speech in Syria. So today
00:20:57we have some
00:21:00experts from several ministries,
00:21:03and at the end of the day, we will
00:21:08the future. As I said, this
00:21:12initiative also needs to include civil
00:21:15society, religious leaders, and media
00:21:18outlets. So there's a wide
00:21:22range for developing this plan.
00:21:26So this is the first plan, and God willing, we will reach
00:21:29an action plan, and this
00:21:32will make Syria
00:21:36the Arab world to have this plan.
00:21:50The Syrian Petroleum Company announced that 15 tankers
00:21:54loaded with petroleum derivatives are currently
00:21:57in waiting areas to complete entry
00:22:00and unloading procedures through Syrian ports and terminals.
00:22:04The Syrian Oil Company clarified in a statement
00:22:07to SANA news agency that among the tankers are
00:22:11six tankers loaded with diesel
00:22:15and nine tankers loaded with gasoline, noting that
00:22:19these supplies come within the framework of continuous efforts
00:22:22to secure the needs of the local market and enhance the availability
00:22:26of petroleum products.
00:22:32For more details, our Syria TV correspondent
00:22:36Lynn Jabbara joins us from Tartous. Lynn, welcome. Can
00:22:39you give us the
00:22:41news?
00:22:45Yes, Iman. The Syrian Petroleum
00:22:48Company signed an agreement
00:22:51with the Saudi company
00:22:54Aramco for importing petroleum products.
00:22:57Of course,
00:23:0215 tankers in Syrian ports
00:23:05awaiting their turn to complete
00:23:08unloading
00:23:11oil terminals. Of course, these procedures
00:23:14take time
00:23:18the shipments of petroleum products
00:23:22and their compliance with accredited standard
00:23:28density, sulfur level, and other accredited
00:23:32specifications to ensure their compliance with these
00:23:35specifications. And, of course,
00:23:38the tankers include six
00:23:41diesel tankers and nine
00:23:45gasoline tankers to supply the local
00:23:48market and enhance the availability of petroleum products in the local
00:23:51market. Of course, this process comes
00:23:54in light of a real
00:23:58crisis in gasoline, meaning
00:24:00a crisis in the quality of the product. So,
00:24:03as the Syrian Petroleum Company explained,
00:24:07it is working on diversifying
00:24:10the sources of imported petroleum products.
00:24:14Most of the petroleum products that were imported
00:24:18came from Russia. But now,
00:24:22work is being done to diversify the sources of importing
00:24:25these products. Okay, Lynn, for more,
00:24:29clarification, are these shipments
00:24:32coming through or sourced from Aramco
00:24:35Saudi Arabia? Frankly, the Syrian Petroleum
00:24:39Company's statements did not clarify this matter sufficiently,
00:24:43but it is clear that this agreement
00:24:47came in parallel with
00:24:51tankers in Syrian ports. The source of
00:24:55these, meaning, these tankers currently in the ports awaiting
00:24:59their turn to unload has not been specified,
00:25:02but it is expected that these
00:25:06tankers are part
00:25:08of the agreement concluded between the Syrian Petroleum Company and Aramco.
00:25:12Okay, Lynn, if you have information, where is it
00:25:15possible that these shipments will
00:25:17be unloaded in which Syrian ports?
00:25:21Yes, these shipments arrive via Syrian ports by sea
00:25:25and are unloaded at the oil terminals
00:25:27in Baniyas refinery
00:25:31and, meaning, the Baniyas refinery terminal, and then
00:25:34these derivatives are distributed
00:25:38to fuel stations
00:25:40locations to supply the local market. When,
00:25:44chronologically, are these expected to enter these terminals
00:25:48or Syrian ports?
00:25:50Frankly, the exact timeline has not been announced.
00:25:54This information is currently unavailable
00:25:57due to the Syrian Petroleum Company not specifying
00:26:00the precise timeframe for supplying the market
00:26:04with these materials. However, it is
00:26:07expected, within
00:26:10a few months, that it will
00:26:13significantly strengthen the local market. Thank you for all this
00:26:17information, Lina Jabbara, Syria TV correspondent, you were with
00:26:21us from Tartous.
00:26:24The Central Bank of Syria announced the execution of the first
00:26:28letter of credit in 14 years to finance a deal
00:26:31to supply oil products from Saudi Aramco to the Syrian
00:26:35Petroleum Company.
00:26:37The bank explained that the execution of the letter of credit was done
00:26:41in coordination with a major American bank, with the aim
00:26:45of securing the necessary banking instrument to finance
00:26:47the deal and settle the related commercial
00:26:51operations. It pointed out that
00:26:53the step aims to support the continuity of oil supplies
00:26:57and meet the needs of the local market
00:27:00and enhance the management of strategic purchases through
00:27:04official banking channels. For its part, the Syrian
00:27:08Petroleum Company stated that the Central Bank's measure
00:27:11is an important development in the mechanisms of financing
00:27:14oil supplies and facilitating
00:27:17commercial transactions.
00:27:22The General Authority for Ports and Customs
00:27:25announced the execution of maintenance and repair work
00:27:28for 23 ships in Baniyas port since
00:27:32the beginning of the current year, including structural
00:27:36and mechanical repairs and maintenance of engines
00:27:39and technical equipment, in addition to technical modifications
00:27:43to some ships. The authority pointed to the continuation
00:27:47of work on developing Baniyas port and raising
00:27:50its operational readiness, improving its services,
00:27:53and providing the necessary facilities for the movement
00:27:57of ships and oil tankers to support maritime
00:28:00transport activity and contribute to serving the Syrian economy.
00:28:16Al-Hasakah Media Directorate reported that the so-called
00:28:19"Revolutionary Youth" kidnapped a young man from his workplace
00:28:23on Street 60 in the Ghweiran neighborhood in Al-Hasakah city
00:28:26after impersonating security personnel.
00:28:29The Directorate clarified that the kidnapping of the young
00:28:33man, Mohammed Mahmoud Hassan, aged 27,
00:28:37came against the backdrop of his participation in demonstrations demanding
00:28:40the raising of the Syrian flag and the establishment of security
00:28:44and state sovereignty, noting that the kidnappers
00:28:47fired between his feet while he was
00:28:50resisting, and assaulted him with beating and humiliation,
00:28:54and threatened him with liquidation.
00:28:56The Directorate added that the kidnappers handed over
00:29:00the young man to the organized crime unit
00:29:03of the Asayish before he was released through the efforts
00:29:06of the internal security forces and
00:29:09the regional administration.
00:29:16Some owners and tenants of shops in the city
00:29:19of Al-Bab in the Aleppo countryside organized a protest
00:29:22in objection to the imposition of a tax on the re-paving
00:29:25of the market street with amounts they described
00:29:29as large and linking it to providing shops
00:29:32with electricity.
00:29:34It's for God, it's for God, it's for God, not for authority or prestige.
00:29:37No to authority. They closed the street for two and a half months.
00:29:41They left people stranded for two and a half months. After he came, he gave you a paper and said you have
00:29:45to pay the money within a week, and now there is no electricity,
00:29:49and he started threatening that I am
00:29:52displaced, and the owner of my shop has cancer and lives in Saudi Arabia.
00:29:55He doesn't pay, and I can't pay. Who will pay for the electricity now?
00:29:59Paving the streets of the area is a good deed, but this
00:30:02work must be lawful, and collecting money must be done
00:30:06lawfully. Local Administration Law No. 107
00:30:09to impose taxes except by law from the prime minister,
00:30:13and collecting taxes in this way is incorrect. No one has the right
00:30:17to deprive someone of
00:30:20you. Today, I'm paying you money for
00:30:24this asphalt, and this is known in all countries of the world.
00:30:28You can pay in installments. Even Al-Bab has other projects.
00:30:31These projects are installments over a year
00:30:42or more. Okay, I'll pay for the asphalt. I paid. It's fine, but I don't own it.
00:30:46And my Lord facilitates the tenants, my neighbors,
00:30:4920% of the tenants, by God, a dirham, they stopped
00:30:52the shops. First, the street was closed for two months. Second,
00:30:56they worked on illegal matters, so they linked
