00:00:35Welcome, viewers, to this news hour from Syrian
00:00:38Television. We start with the top
00:00:40headlines.
00:00:43The Security Council holds a session on Syria,
00:00:47and the United Nations says that more than five million
00:00:50people are still displaced within it and are in need of
00:00:57of Quneitra to be part support. The occupation army

00:01:39occupation state. In Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Mohammed Yahya,
00:01:43said that more than five and a half million
00:01:46people are still internally displaced in
00:01:50of the Syrian government's Syria at a time when the funding for the humanitarian
00:01:53response plan and needs for the year
00:01:562026 does not exceed
00:02:0122%. Madam President, the humanitarian response plan
00:02:05Shaaban, regarding this and needs for 2026 are funded by
00:02:15entity or the Israeli army violations? de-escalation. only 32%, and it is not surprising that is engaged with this affects humanitarian work and support.
00:02:19Despite the severe shortage
00:02:22the positions of their of funding, humanitarian organizations continue to deliver throughout
00:02:27was a kind of sympathy Syria. Since the beginning of the year,
00:02:31in addition to meetings with 2.4 million people have received emergency
00:02:34assistance every month, including food, medicine,
00:02:37clean water, protection services,
00:02:41against them, calling food, and shelter in emergencies. Syrian organizations are at the heart of these
00:02:45efforts, accounting for 60% of partners on
00:02:48the ground.
00:02:52Syrian areas with the The opportunity in Syria is real, but without
00:02:56the coalition to eliminate this investments, we may miss
00:02:57that we are true representatives of ISIS and is willing to work with this opportunity. Madam President,
00:03:02my demands are clear. First,
00:03:06operations carried out by sustainable humanitarian funding and support
00:03:09for the most vulnerable. Millions still
00:03:16and the danger of the unity of Syrian to tighten its control rely on life-saving assistance, and winter is
00:03:18rights in the areas that have fast approaching. Second, we should invest in the Syrian people
00:03:21and permanent solutions, including
00:03:24of the Syrian state, my "No Camps, No Mines" initiatives, which
00:03:28were launched by the government.
00:03:31Claudio Cordone, Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations
00:03:34to Syria, said that Israel continues
00:03:38to carry out shelling,
00:03:40that resulted in the arrest incursions, and detentions in southern Syria. He added
00:03:43that one person was killed near an Israeli site in the Quneitra
00:03:47countryside, noting that 49
00:03:50Syrians are still
00:03:52and the United Nations, in detention in Israeli prisons.
00:03:56Israeli military activities in southern
00:03:59of 36 Syria are ongoing daily, and they
00:04:01include construction
00:04:05people, and we encourage member states to workshops, checkpoints,
00:04:08and shelling
00:04:10and detention incidents. I emphasize the concerns
00:04:15and criminals from raised by the High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the impact of these activities on civilians, including
00:04:19the killing of one person
00:04:22near an
00:04:24Israeli army site on October
00:04:285th, and
00:04:30also the arrests of 49
00:04:35discussed last month people who are reportedly
00:04:35is a security principle still in detention in Israel.
00:04:40viewers on Syrian Ibrahim Al-Albi, Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said in a message
00:04:43addressed to the people of Quneitra and rural Daraa
00:04:47who are facing Israeli occupation forces that
00:04:50Syria does not forget its people and does not compromise on
00:04:53kilograms of the rights of its children. Al-Albi added in a message
00:04:57addressed to Israel that there is only one
00:05:00between the political and military way to security, and its title is international
00:05:03legitimacy and Security Council
00:05:05Syria. This statement resolutions, not killing Syrians and raiding their homes.
00:05:08And I say to our brave people in Quneitra and in rural Daraa, who
00:05:13endure arrests and attacks on a near
00:05:16daily basis, and to the heroic journalists who
00:05:19were shot by the occupation forces while performing their duty
00:05:22of documenting and conveying the truth, I say
00:05:27does not forget its people and does not compromise on the rights
00:05:31of its children, and it does not overlook its national
00:05:34issues in the most important international
00:05:39civilians and journalists, I say: it is incumbent
00:05:42upon those who claim to seek security not to kill
00:05:45Syrians within their lands and not to
00:05:49raid their homes, arrest their children, and forcibly
00:05:52disappear them. It is incumbent upon them to know well that there
00:05:56is only one path to security, whose title is international
00:05:59legitimacy and the resolutions of your council, as
00:06:02you all reaffirmed through the press elements
00:06:06issued by the Council a few days ago.
00:06:09Colleagues, the pain that Israel perpetuates
00:06:13with its aggressions is clear to
00:06:16all of you. Every time it fires
00:06:19at Syria, it also, as the world
00:06:22witnessed, fires at itself, locally
00:06:25and internationally.
00:06:29The US Ambassador to the Security Council,
00:06:32Tammy Bruce, stressed the need for self-restraint
00:06:36and continued implementation of the trilateral roadmap
00:06:40between Syria, America, and Jordan regarding Sweida.
00:06:43Bruce also referred to Washington's involvement in supporting dialogue
00:06:47and peaceful efforts between Damascus and the Israeli
00:06:51Sweida, we reiterated our support for the trilateral
00:06:55roadmap announced by the United States,
00:06:58Syria, and Jordan, and we urge all parties to exercise
00:07:02self-restraint and continue implementing the roadmap
00:07:06towards accountability, security,
00:07:08reconciliation, and the safe return
00:07:12of Syrian displaced persons. We still encourage
00:07:16Israel and Syria to exercise
00:07:19self-restraint and pursue
00:07:22The United States
00:07:25both countries to support dialogue and peaceful
00:07:29solutions. Thank you. The US
00:07:31Ambassador also welcomed the cooperation
00:07:34of the Syrian government with the international coalition against ISIS,
00:07:38noting that lasting peace in Syria depends
00:07:41on the return of sovereign state institutions capable
00:07:45of protecting all communities so that they
00:07:48can participate in the future of their country. ISIS no
00:07:51longer controls territory in Iraq and
00:07:54Syria, and we have broken its ranks in both countries.
00:07:58We celebrated
00:08:01this alliance and considered that we have a partner in
00:08:04Damascus who recognizes the danger
00:08:09threat. Lasting peace in Syria depends
00:08:13on the return of sovereign state institutions capable of protecting
00:08:17all communities so that they can all participate in the future
00:08:21of their country. The US Ambassador
00:08:24to the Security Council, Tammy Bruce, also said
00:08:28that justice and accountability for
00:08:31missing Americans in Syria are a priority
00:08:34for the United States, noting that she is
00:08:38cooperating with Syria on this file. She also called
00:08:42on the international community to cooperate with Syria to prevent
00:08:45and monitor any antiquities trafficking.
00:08:49Justice and accountability for missing Americans is an American
00:08:52priority, and the United States and Syria jointly
00:08:56hosted an event to highlight the voices of
00:08:59the families of the missing and their need for
00:09:02answers and accountability. We were also
00:09:05pleased to participate in the repatriation
00:09:11pieces of stolen Syrian heritage to the Syrian
00:09:17cooperate with Syria to prevent and monitor any antiquities
00:09:20trafficking, not only to preserve Syria, but
00:09:24also to prevent terrorists
00:09:28obtaining this source
00:09:31of funding. For more details,
00:09:34we are joined by Shaaban Abboud, correspondent
00:09:38for Syrian Television, live from Washington. Welcome,
00:09:42Shaaban. Based on your knowledge, what
00:09:45are the most prominent issues that were discussed
00:09:48today during the Security Council session?
00:09:51Yes, welcome, Hiba. It can be said that there are three
00:09:55main issues that were focused on in the statements
00:09:59of the representatives. The first is the Syrian
00:10:02internal file, with its two aspects related to the
00:10:05political process and the fight against ISIS,
00:10:08in addition to the aspect related to the humanitarian
00:10:11situation and the issue
00:10:15of the return of refugees and displaced persons, and the difficulties
00:10:19facing that, and the lack
00:10:22of resources.
00:10:24It was noteworthy that the Assistant Secretary-General
00:10:28for Humanitarian Affairs spoke about more than five million Syrians
00:10:32who are still considered displaced persons who
00:10:36need assistance. At the same time,
00:10:39there was a reference to the difficulties facing
00:10:43the reconstruction
00:10:46process and the return of some refugees, for example,
00:10:49such as the widespread or existing
00:10:52mines that caused the killing of about 14 people
00:10:56and the injury of dozens, in addition to difficulties
00:11:00related to funding. There was a reference
00:11:03to the fact that the funding
00:11:06and response plan received only
00:11:10about 32% support,
00:11:12which is a very small figure compared
00:11:16to Syria's needs.
00:11:19At the same time, there was the aspect related
00:11:22to the political process and the situation in Sweida
00:11:26governorate. There was
00:11:29a reference to American support, for
00:11:32example, for the roadmap that was agreed upon, or
00:11:35under a
00:11:38non-agreement or a Syrian-American-Jordanian
00:11:42plan last year. This roadmap
00:11:47reveals
00:11:49the American vision for solving
00:11:53the Sweida issue. There is no solution
00:11:55in Sweida except through the implementation of this
00:11:59roadmap. At the same time, the most prominent
00:12:03headline, Hiba, was the issue of Israeli
00:12:06attacks and incursions. The Syrian representative dwelt on
00:12:09that a lot, in addition to the continuation
00:12:13of these incursions. He stressed that security in the region
00:12:16and security for Israel itself will not be achieved through
00:12:20this policy that Israel pursues,
00:12:23the policy of
00:12:26T-. What were the reactions,
00:12:30file and this issue regarding the increasing pace
00:12:33of Israeli
00:12:36There are no reactions in the Security Council. There are people
00:12:40who deliver their speeches, representatives who deliver
00:12:43their speeches and express
00:12:47countries on this issue. For example, there
00:12:52or affirmation from the representatives
00:12:55of some countries, such as the State of Denmark,
00:12:58the Pakistani representative, and the Russian representative. Everyone
00:13:02agreed, Hiba, that Israel must adhere
00:13:05to the 1974 disengagement line
00:13:08and the importance of respecting
00:13:12Syrian sovereignty
00:13:14and the importance of that,
00:13:18not only for the stability of Syria,
00:13:21but also for the political process when it comes to the stability
00:13:25of all countries in the region.
00:13:28This is what most of the representatives' statements
00:13:31alluded to. The American representative spoke,
00:13:35or rather, reiterated the American position, calling on both
00:13:39parties to exercise self-restraint and spoke
00:13:42about the importance of dialogue and diplomatic
00:13:46solutions to address the problems between the two parties,
00:13:49between the Syrian and Israeli sides, and said that
00:13:52the United States has always encouraged dialogue between
00:13:56the two sides. And once again,
00:14:00dialogue between the two sides and diplomatic solutions are the optimal
00:14:03choice to solve all problems.
00:14:07At the same time, the American representative praised
00:14:10the progress that the Syrian government
00:14:13has made, especially with regard to the fight against
00:14:16ISIS, and also the progress it is making in the political process
00:14:20and security
00:14:23responses. At the same time, she also
00:14:26praised the meeting of the American states
00:14:29with President Ahmed
00:14:32Al-Shar' and President Trump
00:14:35and a group of leaders from the region,
00:14:38Gulf states and Arab states, on the sidelines of the
00:14:41UN General Assembly meeting. She also focused
00:14:45on Syrian-American cooperation and how the United
00:14:48States hosted officials from the Syrian Ministry
00:14:51of Finance and the Central Bank
00:14:55of Syria. These Syrian officials
00:15:00with their American counterparts the process of reconnecting
00:15:03Syria to the international
00:15:05financial system.
00:15:08There was an American commendation for the progress
00:15:11made by Syria, and at the same time,
00:15:15there was also talk about the fact that
00:15:18ISIS is no longer present in both
00:15:21Iraq and Syria, while the Russian representative
00:15:24said that ISIS still retains
00:15:28combat capabilities in
00:15:30perhaps suggests a difference or contradiction between the statements
00:15:34of the American and Russian representatives, but the American representative
00:15:38meant exactly that ISIS no
00:15:41longer controls territory within Syria,
00:15:45and she certainly did not mean that there are no longer
00:15:48sleeper cells, for example, of ISIS. Yes,
00:15:51these are the most prominent
00:15:54or most important headlines or issues
00:15:57that were discussed in this session. Yes, over to you, Hiba.
00:16:00Thank you very much, Shaaban
00:16:02Washington.
00:16:11Syrian TV correspondent reported that the Israeli
00:16:15occupation arrested a person during a patrol's incursion
00:16:19into the village of Rasem Sind in rural Quneitra. An
00:16:22occupation patrol also infiltrated north of the town
00:16:26of Kudna in southern rural Quneitra and
00:16:29searched houses, in addition to a similar
00:16:32incursion in the area south of the town of
00:16:35Al-Rafid in rural Quneitra, where it prevented a
00:16:39machine working on digging the foundations of a farm
00:16:43belonging to the town's residents from continuing its work.
00:16:45The patrol also stopped the excavation work and
00:16:48prevented the machine from completing it,
00:16:51stipulating that approval from the United Nations Disengagement
00:16:55Observer Force must be obtained before
00:16:59at the site.
00:17:04Syrian TV correspondent also reported that the Israeli
00:17:07occupation army carried out bombing operations in Jabal
00:17:11al-Sheikh in the western Damascus countryside. He added that
00:17:15the occupation forces detonated an abandoned military barracks
00:17:19in Tal Harboon near the town of Beit Jann.
00:17:51A delegation of People's Assembly members visited
00:17:54Quneitra Governorate on an official visit,
00:17:58the first of its kind, covering a number of archaeological
00:18:01and service sites, including Khan Arnabah archaeological
00:18:05site and Golan Hospital,
00:18:09the residents to learn about the service and living conditions
00:18:12and the needs of the governorate's residents,
00:18:16in a step that reflects the delegation's solidarity
00:18:19with them and their interest in their conditions. Today, you are
00:18:23representatives of all Syrian people and all governorates.
00:18:26We, as members of parliament, as members of the People's Assembly,
00:18:29came today with my colleagues in the People's Assembly to confirm
00:18:34of this city, and the city is an integral part of Syria,
00:18:38and we reject any form of Israeli incursion
00:18:42on this city. Our presence
00:18:45and upcoming legislation will, God willing, be in favor
00:18:48of this region to confirm territories, to confirm
00:18:52the full
00:18:55been advanced by Israeli aggression, that they are the right of Syrians,
00:18:58God willing.
00:19:03Of course, our message is that we say,
00:19:06"We are in Quneitra, we are rooted in the homeland.
00:19:09We are humanitarians, patriots,
00:19:12Arab nationalists, even pan-Arabists. We love humanity, we forbid
00:19:16aggression from us, and we forbid aggression against us.
00:19:20This is our constitution and our principle. We
00:19:22say, 'We build bridges of trust and love among all segments
00:19:26of the Syrian people, and we especially mention the people
00:19:29of Quneitra Governorate, Quneitra of pride and dignity,
00:19:32Quneitra of honor, dignity, and martyrs. May God accept
00:19:36their martyrs and heal their wounded. And we ask God Almighty
00:19:39to spread goodness, peace, and security throughout
00:19:42our beloved homeland. And we say, 'We are from you and to you,
00:19:45people of Quneitra. We are your brothers.
00:19:49We love you in God, and we say, 'We and you, hand in hand, for
00:19:52the good of the country and the people.'"
00:19:55To talk more about this, we are joined by security
00:19:59expert Mr. Rashid Hourani, with us from Damascus.
00:20:02Welcome, Mr. Rashid. So, the continued
00:20:05Israeli occupation incursions, violations, digging, and construction
00:20:09of berms in Quneitra. In your opinion, what are the expected
00:20:12scenarios for the coming period? My greetings
00:20:15to you and all
00:20:17Television for the invitation. In fact, the Israeli
00:20:21ground incursions into southern Syria have indicated that they are a
00:20:25gradual and systematic
00:20:28operation carried out by the Israeli entity, both by its political
00:20:32and military class. There is also alignment
00:20:38class in this direction. Also,
00:20:41some link the Israeli incursions to the
00:20:44Israeli elections
00:20:46within the Israeli entity. However, public
00:20:50opinion polls generally
00:20:53indicate that there is a strict
00:20:58from the Israeli population or from Israeli society
00:21:02regarding these issues.
00:21:06will be no retreat from this policy
00:21:10regarding Israeli
00:21:13incursions. And it seems that the Israeli
00:21:16entity's military and security government wants, through these
00:21:20incursions, to create a new field reality
00:21:24and impose it as a fait
00:21:27accompli on the Syrian government. This
00:21:30new field reality is linked to the vicinity
00:21:34of the Golan and Jabal al-Sheikh
00:21:37in particular. This
00:21:40reality is represented by strengthening
00:21:42and increasing the military force
00:21:45present in the vicinity of the Golan and Jabal
00:21:49al-Sheikh, particularly. They want the Israeli
00:21:53entity, through these incursions, to establish
00:21:55to clarify the picture more clearly,
00:21:59to establish a buffer zone specifically for the Golan
00:22:03and Jabal al-Sheikh
00:22:06In your opinion, does this not fall under security
00:22:09concerns, but rather has other dimensions?
00:22:12Yes, it has other dimensions, especially
00:22:16since the incursions that occurred or
00:22:19the operations that took place in both
00:22:23the towns of Qal'at Jandal and Beit Jann
00:22:26prove that the Israeli entity is not limited to establishing
00:22:29a special security zone in the governorates
00:22:33of Quneitra and western Daraa, but rather
00:22:36is moving, in light
00:22:40reliance on political and diplomatic action
00:22:43only in confronting the Israeli entity,
00:22:47towards approaching and moving
00:22:50north and approaching areas
00:22:54of the western Damascus countryside to establish
00:22:57military facilities and military points
00:23:00there. These points will make the Israeli
00:23:05more capable of influencing
00:23:09and maneuvering, especially since the area it
00:23:13now controls in Quneitra
00:23:15and the western Daraa countryside, in addition
00:23:18to these areas in
00:23:20the western Damascus countryside, also
00:23:24provides it with the ability to monitor and provide
00:23:28early warning,
00:23:30and also precise monitoring of all
00:23:34movement axes and roads that connect
00:23:37Syria to Lebanon and also connect the aforementioned
00:23:42Jordanian border. Therefore, it
00:23:46wants to intensify its military presence in order
00:23:49to control and monitor its movements. We notice
00:23:52that all the areas it advances on are characterized
00:23:56by being high mountains of Jabal al-Sheikh
00:24:00and the surrounding areas
00:24:03over the area,
00:24:06its control over this
00:24:08area comes from the proximity of this area
00:24:12to the political capital
00:24:14which is still suffering from many internal
00:24:18problems related to
00:24:28these facts, and in the face of this danger, how can
00:24:32the international community today
00:24:33stand against these Israeli
00:24:36violations? The international community, through the numerous
00:24:39Security Council sessions
00:24:42has had many countries that have asked
00:24:45Israel, as Mr. Shaaban mentioned
00:24:48in his intervention, to stop its incursions,
00:24:52and this is, if
00:24:55I may say so, an achievement for the Syrian
00:24:58government in the political battle against the Israeli
00:25:02entity. There is also another
00:25:05approach whose indicators are emerging, whether officially
00:25:09or unofficially, which can
00:25:12be used to confront the Israeli entity
00:25:16or the Israeli army during its incursions
00:25:20in the Syrian arena, because there
00:25:25that states that power does not create
00:25:29reality at the moment of performing its tasks, but rather
00:25:33by the impact it leaves. Today, the Israeli army
00:25:36enters southern Syria and arrests
00:25:39citizens, preventing farmers
00:25:42from using the roads leading to their farms
00:25:45and livelihoods. All these actions towards
00:25:48civilians have effects that undermine
00:25:52and destabilize the Israeli military and security
00:25:56presence in southern Syria. Mr. Rashid,
00:25:59in your opinion, also, regarding
00:26:03the citizens who are suffering in those areas, what
00:26:06is the significance of the visit of a delegation from the People's
00:26:09Assembly to Quneitra to see their conditions?
00:26:13Yes, in fact, the actions of the Syrian government have varied
00:26:17in recent days regarding the residents of Quneitra
00:26:20and the people of the city, whether those living in
00:26:23Damascus or the visit of members
00:26:26of the People's Assembly. This is a message of reassurance
00:26:30to the residents that Syria or the Syrian
00:26:34this matter to chance
00:26:37and at the mercy of the Israeli
00:26:40entity's army. Perhaps temporarily, these
00:26:43incursions and attacks will be dealt with
00:26:46either politically or through the establishment
00:26:49of popular resistance, according to what
00:26:53I follow and according to my estimates,
00:26:55and that the Syrian state considers the city
00:27:00of Syrian geography,
00:27:02like other Syrian cities, whether inland, coastal,
00:27:05or eastern. Thank you very much,
00:27:09Mr. Rashid Hourani, security expert. Thank you for being with us
00:27:13from Damascus.

00:28:58and ammunition in a mountainous area in the Qadmous region.
00:29:01The command clarified that the seized items,
00:29:04which were found during search and sweep
00:29:09security forces in the area, included a 12.7
00:29:12mm machine gun

00:29:26The Homs Anti-Narcotics Branch thwarted an attempt
00:29:30to smuggle and promote a shipment of narcotic
00:29:33substances coming from Lebanon. The Anti-Narcotics
00:29:36Department stated that it carried out
00:29:39a pre-emptive operation
00:29:43of two main smugglers. It also resulted in the seizure
00:29:46of 250,000 Captagon pills and
00:29:50250 grams of marijuana
00:29:52material.
00:30:01The operation came after a report from one of our field agents that a suspicious
00:30:05car had entered the abandoned farms area.
00:30:09Through the direction of reconnaissance units, we
00:30:11monitored the aforementioned car and directed
00:30:14our units after obtaining a judicial arrest warrant.
00:30:17After the arrest operation, we found inside the car
00:30:21a quantity of narcotic substances estimated at about 5,000
00:30:24Captagon pills. After taking the car owners and locations to the branch
00:30:28and bringing the K9 unit, we found inside the spare tire compartment
00:30:32equipment for promotion or for
00:30:35smuggling outside Homs. The
00:30:39total quantity was estimated at about a quarter of a million Captagon pills.
00:30:42Homs' presence and its concentration deep inside
00:30:45Syrian territory makes it a crossing, smuggling,
00:30:49and storage and packaging
00:30:52point. The Lebanese army said that it seized about 200
00:30:56explosives that were prepared for smuggling from Syria.
