00:00:01join the Pakistan-India-Pakistan-Saudi abroad, and the main focus in Syria is on saving the situation internally so that it can stabilize and begin a renaissance, so that the economy can live, and so on. There is another party that must be talked about, Dr. Ahmed. It is not just Iran and its militias that are destabilizing the region. There is Israel, which attacks almost daily and violates Syrian sovereignty. How can foreign policy deal with this situation to deter Israeli arrogance? Of course, you know that Israel carries out continuous incursions into Syria and violates Syrian sovereignty. Is it politically or militarily logical that in a situation where you face enormous risks in this direction, you send forces abroad? I do not think so. That is, there is no logic that justifies such a proposal, if the proposal is correct. Perhaps the proposal is not correct, and what Axios and Reuters reported may not have been true, especially since the Syrian Foreign Ministry and the Syrian leadership have not commented on this issue, neither negatively nor positively. But in the issue of Israeli occupation, there is no confrontation or clash with the Israeli occupation forces. Well, but if there were no forces at all, perhaps the encroachment would be greater. However, the presence of many alert Syrian forces must be taken into account by Israel, in addition to the strength of the current American-Syrian alliance, which restrains the Israelis and pressures them to return to the 1974 agreement. What I want to say as a summary of what preceded is that from a strategic point of view, it is certain that Iran's influence in Syria has been cut off. Who cut off Iran's influence in Syria and prevented the delivery of its weapons to Hezbollah and prevented their penetration into Syrian territory? Certainly, the new regime, and this is credited to it, that is, for Saudi Arabia, it is positively seen that it got rid of one of the most difficult problems it faced. We must historically know that Saudi Arabia wants to feel secure in its north and south, and it believes that God has blessed us in our Levant and in our Yemen. Yemen is currently facing the Houthis, while the Levant has permanently expelled Iran from Syria, despite all Iranian attempts. And therefore, the security of the region is interconnected. But let me return to the issue of Israeli occupation, Professor Bassam. It is clear, as Dr. Ahmed said, that Syria still relies on an American role to restrain Israel, but this has not happened in reality. Israeli incursions are expanding day by day and taking over new areas. The entire south of Syria is almost under Israeli military control, not just Quneitra, but also the rural areas of Daraa, all the way to Sweida as well. No, it will not happen. My perception is that relying on the Americans to restrain Israel or return Israel to the points it was at before the liberation is, I believe, a losing bet. I would not say 100% losing, but 60% losing. That is, Tom Barrack has a great deal of power, but when it comes to Israel's security, his power stops. He has a lot of influence over Trump. This is an old friend of his, and so on. But when it comes to Israel's security and American-Israeli calculations and domestic American-Israeli calculations, they are much greater than Tom Barrack's ability to move them. So the idea that the Americans, during this administration and the next administration, can pressure Israel to do that, I think, as I told you, it is a 60% losing bet. 40% may be something. That is, today, there are Israeli voices in the Israeli opposition that say, we are ready to make peace with Israel with a full guarantee, but with very harsh conditions. That is, very difficult conditions to accept in the current electoral situation. The approach adopted by the Syrian government is to separate the issue of al-Hijri from the issue of Sweida, and to attract Sweida to Syria, and to keep the issue of al-Hijri. That is, the issue of Sweida, if it must be dealt with today, the way it is dealt with must be completely different. There is a group loyal to Israel that raises Israeli flags and so on, and is known by name. It takes weapons from Israel, and Israeli planes give them weapons and food, and this is documented and known. But this does not mean that all the people of Sweida are al-Hijri. I think the issue of Sweida should be withdrawn, and Sweida should be returned to Syria, and the issue of al-Hijri should be dealt with separately from the issue of Sweida. This weakens Israel. The more Sweida returns to Syria, Israel's influence on the ground weakens. Thank you. We cannot rely on the idea that we must make peace with Israel until Sweida returns to Syria. I think this is very wrong, 100%. But the door is wide open for Syria, the Syrian government, to return the greater part of Sweida, people and geography, to Syrian territory, to its natural homeland, to its natural place, and to deal with the issue of al-Hijri and his group separately from the people of Sweida. I think this will lead to pressure on Israel. This is the real thing. As for statements and international law and the Security Council, we are against Israel. Israel has never believed in international law or international institutions. It believes in the reality on the ground. And therefore, the reality on the ground must be

00:00:21Forces in Iraq, and recently
00:00:34has an evening, this is a new episode of Syria Today. In our
00:00:38first segment, diplomatic and political movements abroad are taking
00:00:43many countries place against the backdrop of regional developments, coinciding
00:00:46with recurring talk of calls to send Syrian forces to
00:00:49Saudi Arabia. Why is Syria's name being dragged into regional conflicts
00:00:52and how is Damascus shaping its foreign policy in light of
00:00:56regional developments? In our second segment, we have
00:01:01years of a visit by members of the People's Assembly to Quneitra Governorate. This is the first
00:01:05official visit to the governorate. How are the government
00:01:08and the People's Assembly addressing the challenges in Quneitra? In
00:01:12our third segment, we discuss the appointment of three former SDF leaders to
00:01:15security positions in Hasakah Governorate,
00:01:18including the head of intelligence, an official responsible for
00:01:23not send light of the existence military security, and another responsible for counter-terrorism.
00:01:25So what are the criteria for appointing former

00:01:32Hasakah? In our last segment, we discuss
00:01:37of Syrian foreign the confiscation of land and the seizure of other land by

00:02:52I am, I coinciding with recurring talk of calls
00:02:56to send Syrian forces to Saudi Arabia, which again
00:03:00drags Syria into various conflicts
00:03:02in the region. Reports published by Reuters
00:03:06and Axios stated that Damascus received a Saudi
00:03:10request to provide military assistance to
00:03:13the Kingdom amid the escalating war against
00:03:16the Houthis, including
00:03:18I am not the deployment of Syrian forces in offensive missions on Yemeni
00:03:23axis, and territory. This coincided with the meeting between President Ahmed al-Shara and Saudi Crown
00:03:27Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the capital.
00:03:33is still present. The media advisor to the Presidency Iran's axis is of the Republic, Ahmed Zeidan,
00:03:35denied what was stated, while the Foreign Media Department at
00:03:39the Ministry of Information stated
00:03:41of economic support at the same time, that Syria stands firmly by Saudi Arabia, but
00:03:44the government's primary priority is
00:03:48an axis, but internal affairs and that any military cooperation
00:03:51or exchange of expertise will be conducted exclusively through official
00:03:54channels and within the framework of bilateral agreements governing
00:03:58relations between the two countries.
00:04:02Damascus, which is still working to form its army from
00:04:05the focus should groups that were part of the alliance of armed factions
00:04:11do not interior that overthrew the regime of Bashar al-Assad, had previously clearly rejected an American
00:04:14request to help fight Hezbollah in Lebanon,
00:04:17as then-US President Donald Trump raised
00:04:20a proposal to involve the Syrian
00:04:24army in the conflict, saying that it would do the job
00:04:28better. Between public statements,
00:04:31excellent with reports, and Syrian denials, Damascus has so
00:04:35far succeeded in avoiding involvement in regional conflicts,
00:04:38including the war with Iran, for reasons that may be
00:04:42related to ideological dimensions and divisions that
00:04:46any Syrian intervention in Yemen or Lebanon
00:04:49might cause, as well as focusing on recovery and
00:04:53internal reconstruction efforts. The question remains open
00:04:56here: Will Syria succeed in continuing to distance
00:05:00itself from any armed conflict while maintaining
00:05:03its diplomatic and international
00:05:19to you both. Dr. Ahmed, why is Syria
00:05:23being dragged into every conflict, almost all conflicts in the
00:05:26region, sometimes by talking about intervention against Hezbollah in Lebanon,
00:05:30sometimes about the Popular Mobilization
00:05:34about the Houthis in Yemen as
00:05:37well? Let me say that perhaps
00:05:41the reason for that is the remarkable
00:05:44and distinctive performance of
00:05:48the liberation forces when they overthrew the regime of
00:05:51Bashar al-Assad, and this is what prompted
00:05:56to believe that
00:05:59Syria could play a role
00:06:02in striking Hezbollah or striking the
00:06:05Houthis, and also from the premise that
00:06:08these fighters have long experience over 14
00:06:14fighting against the Syrian regime and direct confrontations,
00:06:17and all of
00:06:20this leads many countries to believe
00:06:24that we can impose on Syrians
00:06:27and involve them in such issues in light of
00:06:30a difficult economic situation and in
00:06:35of many
00:06:38meetings and rapprochements that
00:06:41occur as a principle of Syrian foreign policy. But in
00:06:45my assessment, the basic principles
00:06:49policy do not allow such issues to
00:06:53take their course, and as
00:06:55I said before, when
00:06:59the issue of Syria's entry into Lebanon was raised, that
00:07:03this would not happen, and indeed the Syrians
00:07:07did not intervene in Lebanon because the risks arising
00:07:10from this intervention are much greater, in addition to the importance of focusing
00:07:14on the Syrian interior. Syria has not
00:07:18yet intervened in any external issue, but will
00:07:21that continue, in your opinion, Dr. Ahmed? And it
00:07:25will not intervene, you said, for multiple reasons, including the importance of the internal
00:07:29situation, and the number required for external
00:07:32work is certainly large, and
00:07:35it is not possible
00:07:39fighters protecting security in Syria, the army,
00:07:42and the borders outside Syria in
00:07:44order to carry out external missions, despite
00:07:51or with our Saudi brothers.
00:07:54Our constant approach is that we seriously study the
00:07:57issue and consider
00:08:01all aspects and take into
00:08:04account the risks. That is, can Syria
00:08:08withstand any Iranian
00:08:13attacks that could strike it,
00:08:16such that they would be devastating
00:08:20strikes? Is the international
00:08:22community, especially when Syrian intervention in Lebanon
00:08:26was proposed, willing to provide qualitative weapons
00:08:29to Syria? And Israel accuses Syria
00:08:32of being a terrorist regime.
00:08:35Can the international community, led by
00:08:39the United States, provide an Iron Dome to
00:08:43protect Syria from Iranian strikes that
00:08:46could hit Syria? None of this has happened.
00:08:50We are in dire need
00:08:53and unfortunately, even the international community does not provide
00:08:57such economic support in a way that would
00:09:00convince Syrians to consider such issues. But I
00:09:04want to say that in principle,
00:09:08Syria does not want to interfere
00:09:11in the affairs of neighboring countries or other Arab
00:09:14countries, and that
00:09:18be on the
00:09:21and achieving security and stability in the interior,
00:09:25economically in this exhausted country, as
00:09:28a result of 60 years of the Baath
00:09:31regime. Professor Bassam, US President Donald Trump
00:09:35had suggested Syrian intervention in Lebanon. Recently,
00:09:39there is talk of a Saudi request for Syria to intervene
00:09:43against the Houthis, even if there is an official
00:09:46denial of that. But this raises the question
00:09:49again: Why is Syria's name always brought up
00:09:53and it is asked to intervene in issues
00:09:56outside its borders?
00:09:59Thank you first of all, and secondly, all
00:10:02these areas we are talking about, Hezbollah was
00:10:06occupying Syria, the Popular Mobilization Forces were present
00:10:10in Syria, training. That
00:10:12is, the Iranian center was in Syria.
00:10:15Its training center was in Syria. The Houthis,
00:10:19when the regime fell and after the liberation,
00:10:22went to Iraq. The Houthi forces are present in Iraq,
00:10:26Saudi Arabia, and the Syrian borders. So it
00:10:29may be that some people exchange. That
00:10:33is, when the American President was saying that Syria would enter, he
00:10:37was more of a media propagandist
00:10:40for the Lebanese government and the Israeli government
00:10:44to reach an agreement, more than an American
00:10:47desire for Syria to enter Lebanon. It
00:10:51was more to put it in that context
00:10:55than for Syria to actually have the ability
00:10:59to go to Lebanon and fight Hezbollah,
00:11:02while the Israeli army occupies parts of Syria,
00:11:06and so on. So we need to differentiate
00:11:09between media and journalistic talk that is used
00:11:11to advance negotiations taking place elsewhere,
00:11:15Trump's statement on Syrian entry into Lebanon,
00:11:18and the reality that Syrians have knowledge
00:11:22that the Ministry of Intelligence, the Intelligence Directorate,
00:11:25the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Foreign
00:11:28Affairs have a lot of information about the
00:11:32activities of these groups, Hezbollah, the Popular Mobilization
00:11:35Forces, the Houthis, what they were doing in Syria,
00:11:39not just at the level of crimes, but at the level
00:11:43of organization, management, camouflage, and armament.
00:11:47These are very important issues that benefit
00:11:50the conflict or
00:11:54this conflict in other areas. So when
00:11:57Saudi Arabia asks Syria for help,
00:12:01of course Saudi Arabia, two weeks ago, bought
00:12:06So why do they need Syria by
00:12:10any measure? But in many aspects, Syria
00:12:16Saudi Arabia. This symbolic participation with
00:12:19Saudi Arabia is very important. Without Saudi Arabia,
00:12:23Syria would not have reached its current
00:12:27relationship with the United States. That is,
00:12:30our relationship with the United States is a Saudi-Turkish
00:12:33patronage, and we cannot say that we did not
00:12:37enter. So I do not think that
00:12:41anyone is asking Syrians
00:12:44of armies to Saudi Arabia. I think
00:12:48the issue is more
00:12:51what Syria possesses in terms of intelligence
00:12:55information from the Ministry of Defense, Intelligence,
00:12:58and Foreign Affairs about all the efforts of
00:13:02this system, apart from the killing that
00:13:05it was carrying out against the Syrian people
00:13:08on a daily basis, providing weapons, money,
00:13:11training, leaders, names of individuals, these
00:13:15are very important issues. But Professor Bassam, you are referring
00:13:18to this matter, and it
00:13:21is clear that there is something like an
00:13:25international and regional understanding to end Iran's influence
00:13:28in the region. Is that true?
00:13:31To what extent can Syria resist
00:13:35pressure if it is pressured to send troops
00:13:38to some fronts, regardless
00:13:42of the number, even if the numbers are
00:13:45symbolic or otherwise? Look, Syria is
00:13:48under two severe pressures at the
00:13:51same time.
00:13:54pressuring Syria. Hezbollah
00:13:58That is, yesterday, the van
00:14:00with the explosives, its quantity, type,
00:14:04and shape, is very
00:14:06similar to what we were talking
00:14:09about regarding Hariri's assassination, may God
00:14:13have mercy on him. The target could be
00:14:17the people. The target could be President
00:14:21al-Shara. You see? So Hezbollah is
00:14:24not leaving us alone. That is,
00:14:27even if we say to the world, to
00:14:31whom it may concern, that we
00:14:33are content with building the Syrian
00:14:37interior and we have enough problems, this
00:14:41does not mean that the other party will
00:14:44leave us alone. The Popular Mobilization Forces
00:14:48and the Houthis are present on the
00:14:52Syrian border. There are forces from
00:14:55Sayyid al-Hassan and his people present
00:14:58in Yemen. For manufacturing chemical
00:15:01weapons and developing missiles, they are
00:15:04present in Yemen. They fled from
00:15:08Sek, that there is a lot
00:15:11of information that Syria can provide
00:15:15or has provided to Saudi Arabia, to
00:15:18Yemen, as part of
00:15:21its participation in the war. It is
00:15:24not necessarily participation by sending 1,000
00:15:27soldiers. I do not think Saudi
00:15:31Arabia needs these numbers. It is
00:15:35something symbolic, media, true, but the
00:15:38reality is something completely different. That is,
00:15:42they say the Syrian
00:15:45That is,
00:15:47in front of the Turkish and Ukrainian drones,
00:15:50I think there are vast
00:15:53areas, with all due respect to the
00:15:56Syrians, but there are very advanced
00:16:00things that Saudi Arabia has now.
00:16:04But the symbolism of participation is
00:16:07important for Saudi
00:16:09Arabia. But again, what Syria possesses
00:16:13in terms of intelligence information and knowledge
00:16:17of the work of these groups that
00:16:21remained in Syria for a long
00:16:24time, I think this is the essence
00:16:28of the matter. And at the same
00:16:31time, if we convince ourselves
00:16:35that in Syria we do not need
00:16:38a new front, this does not
00:16:42mean that the other party, the
00:16:45Popular Mobilization Forces or Iran with all
00:16:49its groups, will leave Syria alone.
00:16:52So Syria is under two pressures:
00:16:55the pressure that it must go,
00:16:59and the pressure that it must
00:17:02stay. But again, God help the
00:17:06country what it has to endure.
00:17:09It cannot endure. You are talking
00:17:13about two pressures, but after the
00:17:18the official statements were that Syria does
00:17:21not want to align itself with
00:17:27distance itself. But the question
00:17:30now, with this new axis,
00:17:33which seems stronger than before, and
00:17:36which is sometimes referred to as
00:17:40the axis of Sunni states allied
00:17:43with the United States. We are
00:17:47talking about Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and
00:17:50the rest of the Gulf states
00:17:53and the United States. Has Syria
00:17:57actually become part of this axis?
00:18:00I do not call it an
00:18:04axis. I call it a natural
00:18:08situation created by the region.
00:18:11You see? Today, you, as
00:18:15a Syrian, have returned to your
00:18:18natural state, that I am an Arab, I
00:18:22am a Muslim, I am a
00:18:30am, I am what
00:18:33I want, but I am not
00:18:37Iran. I
00:18:39am not
00:18:41Shia. I am not
00:18:45Wilayat al-Faqih. There is no,
00:18:49you see? That is, the
00:18:53issue is that
00:18:56with the other party in
00:18:59the sense of an axis, but
00:19:02this is the reality today.
00:19:06Syria is closer to Turkey and
00:19:10Saudi Arabia, as a people and as individuals,
00:19:13much more than
00:19:16it is close to Iran. Is
00:19:18it an axis? I do not
00:19:22think it is
00:19:26even in politics, Syria is considered
00:19:29part of it. Hamas, for example,
00:19:33they are not Twelver Shiites,
00:19:36for example. That is, it is not just
00:19:40an idea, but I mean,
00:19:44the general Syrian atmosphere. Its
00:19:48connection, whether the Syrian Christian
00:19:51or the Syrian Muslim, its connection
00:19:55is more with the surrounding countries
00:19:59than its connection with Iran, politically,
00:20:03socially, historically. That is, call
00:20:05it what you
00:20:08want. You have returned to a
00:20:12place where you feel more
00:20:15comfortable than being part of
00:20:19the Iran or Russia axis.
00:20:22You have returned to an axis
00:20:25where there is more acceptance,
00:20:29more comfort, and you belong
00:20:32to it more. Now, you have
00:20:35a political axis against Iran, of course.
00:20:39But for example, I would
00:20:41like to take a step
00:20:45forward. Do I think that
00:20:49Syria will
00:20:51Mecca agreement axis? I
00:20:54tell you no, Syria will
00:20:58not join this agreement.
00:21:01It cannot join. Why?
00:21:04Because this has become an
00:21:08axis that we do not want
00:21:12to be part of. We
00:21:14support it, and it will
00:21:18be a large part of it,
00:21:21and Israel
00:21:24occupied part of Syria
00:21:26every day. No, it
00:21:30cannot open fronts on
00:21:34this tripartite axis with the
00:21:37war in Yemen.
00:21:41So again, you have a
00:21:44Syrian balance, as is
00:21:48known, that we must
00:21:52take care of ourselves
00:21:55without being part of
00:21:59something greater than Syria's
00:22:02capacity to absorb, its
00:22:06geographical capacity, its military
00:22:09capacity, and its financial
00:22:12capacity. So I do not
00:22:15think it is part of an
00:22:19axis in the political
00:22:22sense of the word. I
00:22:26think it is part
00:22:29of a natural axis,
00:22:32in the social,
00:22:36and cultural sense, more
00:22:39than an axis like
00:22:43the axes of old,
00:22:47like the Nasserist axis
00:22:50against the Hashemite axis
00:22:54or that kind of talk. I think we
00:22:58are in a completely different
00:23:03Let me hear Dr.
00:23:06Ahmed's opinion on the
00:23:11issue. That is,
00:23:14Foreign Minister
00:23:17himself, when he visited Pakistan
00:23:21last August, said that we
00:23:24are studying the possibility of joining
00:23:30So is this a realistic
00:23:33statement that
00:23:36the table, Dr. Ahmed?
00:23:40It is certainly always on the
00:23:43table, and perhaps there
00:23:46is a mutual desire to
00:23:49join this agreement or
00:23:52this alliance. And let me say
00:23:56what is greater than
00:24:00that. It is certain
00:24:04that there is a Chinese-Russian-Iranian axis
00:24:07facing a Western-American-European-Gulf
00:24:13Syria is certainly part
00:24:16of this axis. We
00:24:20cannot say that Syria
00:24:22does not want to
00:24:26align itself with either
00:24:29of the two axes, because
00:24:32those who do not
00:24:36align themselves with an
00:24:40axis, as they say,
00:24:43will be trampled by
00:24:47elephants. But the statements
00:24:51in the first months
00:24:54after Assad's fall were
00:24:58that we
00:25:01want to align ourselves
00:25:05with axes, even if
00:25:09those statements were in
00:25:12this form. But practically,
00:25:16Syria's relations are very
00:25:21Saudi Arabia and very
00:25:25good with the Gulf
00:25:28states, and it enters
00:25:32into alliances and major
00:25:35understandings with the
00:25:37United States. Then, the
00:25:41most important point is
00:25:44that the overthrow of
00:25:48Bashar al-Assad's regime in
00:25:52Syria broke the Shiite
00:25:55Crescent, and the Shiite
00:25:58Crescent is the prelude
00:26:02to that Chinese-Russian-Iranian axis.
00:26:06So, Dr. Ahmed, what
00:26:10you are saying indicates that
00:26:13the possibility of sending Syrian
00:26:17fighters to other fronts is again
00:26:20being raised, because if
00:26:23it joins this axis
00:26:27or alliance, or even
00:26:30the Mecca Alliance, Syria
00:26:34does not have nuclear
00:26:37weapons like Pakistan.
00:26:40It does not have advanced
00:26:44military industries like
00:26:48Turkey. So what can
00:26:51it offer other than
00:26:55soldiers and fighters?
00:26:58To be part of a large
00:27:01axis necessarily requires
00:27:05sending fighters. I still
00:27:08believe that the
00:27:12Syrian leadership will not
00:27:15send fighters. It did not
00:27:19send fighters to Lebanon,
00:27:22and it will
00:27:25fighters to Saudi
00:27:29Arabia. And the situation,
00:27:32as my friend Professor Bassam
00:27:36said, cannot be endured.
00:27:40Syria, what does it
00:27:43want to do in
00:27:47light of difficult
00:27:50economic conditions, in light
00:27:54of complex security conditions,
00:27:58in light of great
00:28:02risks?
00:28:04And the Iranians,
00:28:10this moment, changes without there being an
00:28:25the government and the People's Assembly
00:28:28Quneitra.
00:28:40country,
00:28:45there is a story worth telling,
00:28:48and perhaps you are the one who sees it first.
00:28:52We at Syria TV
00:28:55launch the People's Camera.
00:28:58Document and send.
00:29:03Be a contributing part in making the news.
00:29:06People in the People's Camera,
00:29:08your lens makes the news.
00:29:21We are sitting here, and these people are here. We cry over them. By God,
00:29:25we hear the pain of the bones that are
00:29:26breaking.
00:29:35Every blanket I smell, I feel there is blood
00:29:38mixed with the smell
00:29:40of humans.
00:29:43When they call our names for torture, you actually don't know if you'll come back alive or come back
00:29:47dead.
00:29:54I remember hearing the gray hair crack
00:29:55in my head.
00:30:00The soul that is tortured is the one that doesn't leave.
00:30:19And the Syrians have become a country we are in
00:30:22the middle
00:30:23of.
00:30:28In a country living under oppression, injustice, displacement,
00:30:31and war. But it revolted until
00:30:35it triumphed. In a country where narratives
00:30:39are diverse and discourses
00:30:41contradict.
00:30:46We open a window to all
00:30:49concessions.
00:30:53We listen to people from inside the country and from every
00:30:56expatriate in dialogues.
