00:01:10Syria TV surveyed the opinion of citizens in Deir Ezzor city regarding
00:01:14the supervision of restaurants and its adequacy
00:01:17after 247
00:01:19people suffered food poisoning
00:01:22as a result of
00:01:25Iran to ensure his continued eating food at one of the city's
00:01:26restaurants.
00:01:31No, the supervision, God willing,
00:01:33are part is present. I mean, God willing, there is no day
00:01:36that I don't see the supervision circulating
00:01:39in a previous in the shops or restaurants. May God bless our Prophet Muhammad. May God reward them and give them good health. I
00:01:42wish everyone would cooperate with the supervision because this supervision
00:01:46is for you and me.
00:01:48Netanyahu's failure, as he does It monitors cleanliness and everything, God willing.
00:01:51And the quality of meat and the quality of
00:01:54products. As for restaurants, honestly, half of them are good and half are bad. I mean,
00:01:58I am one of the people who bought a sandwich from a restaurant, without mentioning
00:02:02names, and the poor woman with us got poisoned. May God
00:02:05help us. We hope that the supervision and inspection will take into account people's circumstances because there is no supervision over
00:02:09restaurants. Not all of them, I mean, the majority have no supervision. No, God willing,
00:02:13the supervision is very good with people, and these restaurants are clean
00:02:17and good. What can I tell you? Their food is healthy and good. As for
00:02:21restaurants, my brother, most people, most people eat
00:02:25festival will be held annually in restaurants. Of course, regarding the cleanliness of restaurants, I mean, cleanliness
00:02:27depends on each restaurant. And all the workers
00:02:31or the staff present for cleanliness depend on the owner
00:02:35of the restaurant. As for supervision, honestly, there is no supervision at all,
00:02:40And I see that this frankly.
00:02:42is true, but only والله. As for restaurants, we eat restaurant food. And now,
00:02:44a little while ago, I and the guys had breakfast from restaurants. And as for supervision,
00:02:48Students are returning to no, supervision needs more work. It needs a little more work for
00:02:51cleanliness, I mean, not for anything
00:02:52else.

00:06:12products, providing an opportunity to introduce them and open new avenues
00:06:16for marketing after years of absence

00:08:40Former Israeli Prime Minister and head of the Together
00:08:44Party bloc, Naftali Bennett, said he decided to recommend
00:08:48to Israeli President Isaac Herzog to entrust
00:08:51Gadi Eisenkot with the task of forming
00:08:54the government. Bennett called on his partners to form
00:08:57a government he would support in parallel with
00:09:00Eisenkot's pledge to thwart any attempt
00:09:04to deny the results of the Israeli
00:09:07In contrast, the head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party,
00:09:10Avigdor Lieberman, hesitated at Eisenkot's request
00:09:14to pledge to recommend entrusting him with forming the government.
00:09:17Estimates indicate that the Arab parties
00:09:20will recommend entrusting Eisenkot after
00:09:23contact was made with the opposition
00:09:26camp. As for the Likud party, it considered that a dark
00:09:30cloud hangs over the results
00:09:33of the Israeli elections until the investigation
00:09:35ends.
00:09:52The leader of the Israeli Yesh Atid party, Gadi
00:09:55Eisenkot, said that the attempt to disavow the election
00:09:59results, challenge the will of the voters, and drag
00:10:02the country into new elections has failed.
00:10:06He described it as despicable and malicious.
00:10:09Eisenkot affirmed that the results of the 26th
00:10:13Knesset elections are fixed and clear,
00:10:17and any attempt to deny them will be aborted.
00:10:20He welcomed the statements of the Chairman of the Central Elections Committee,
00:10:25Judge Noam Solberg, in which he affirmed
00:10:29the integrity of the electoral process and the absence
00:10:32of evidence that would cast doubt on its
00:10:36overall results.
00:10:43Israeli Channel 14
00:10:46quoted informed sources as saying that Prime Minister Benjamin
00:10:49Netanyahu has decided to abandon at this stage his
00:10:53attempts to form a new government and instead seek
00:10:56new elections. The channel
00:10:59stated that the decision came after Netanyahu concluded that
00:11:03Gadi Eisenkot would not agree to join
00:11:07a national unity government. He also
00:11:10ruled out forming a government that includes Avigdor Lieberman
00:11:13and Naftali Bennett, according to the same sources.
00:11:17Netanyahu intends to direct his campaign to public opinion by
00:11:21denying the legitimacy of any
00:11:26noting that security developments and Shin Bet
00:11:29investigations may affect this
00:11:31step.
00:11:39The leader of the Israeli Democrats party, Yair
00:11:42Golan, warned against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exploiting
00:11:46a potential new attack on
00:11:50stay in power, amidst Israeli and American reports of
00:11:54a possible attack after the midterm
00:11:57elections for the US Congress. Golan said
00:12:00in a post on X that the chances
00:12:04of a new confrontation with Iran are increasing,
00:12:07considering that repeated rounds of fighting reveal
00:12:13not possess, according to his expression, popular trust
00:12:16or moral legitimacy to lead
00:12:20a new
00:12:20war.
00:12:28Hundreds of people demonstrated in central Tel
00:12:30Aviv, demanding the overthrow of Benjamin Netanyahu's
00:12:34government and calling for the formation of an alternative government based on political partnership between
00:12:37Jews and Arabs, equality of rights,
00:12:40and participation in decision-making.
00:13:34US President Donald Trump affirmed that the war on Iran
00:13:38will end very soon, indicating
00:13:42the Middle East came to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear
00:13:45weapon. Trump added that Washington used B-2
00:13:49bombers to strike Iranian nuclear capabilities, considering
00:13:53that Tehran is still unaware of the extent of what
00:13:56it has been subjected to, and that he is trying to find someone
00:13:59to negotiate with in Iran, but no one wants to be
00:14:03president. These statements came after a phone call
00:14:07with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he discussed
00:14:10the Iranian file, while Axios reported
00:14:14that Netanyahu asked Trump to strike Iran
00:14:17after the Congress
00:14:18elections.
00:14:38I welcome Syria TV correspondent from Washington, Shaaban Aboud. Welcome
00:14:42Shaaban. Please tell us the
00:14:45details of the recent statements by US President Donald Trump
00:14:49and his talk about the war with Iran, and even
00:14:52negotiating with it, and what Axios reported
00:14:56about the pressure from Netanyahu on President
00:14:59Trump regarding the return of the war and the resumption of the war
00:15:03on Iran.
00:15:07the last few hours, there have been major developments, if
00:15:10I may say, at the level of
00:15:13negotiations after reports talked
00:15:16or are talking about a breakthrough or progress
00:15:19in these negotiations.
00:15:23In light of the Qatari efforts, a Qatari delegation
00:15:27visited Tehran and stayed
00:15:30there for three days, and amidst
00:15:33marathon negotiations and,
00:15:36you know, continuous negotiations, one of them lasted
00:15:39about 12 hours. Reports
00:15:43said that the Qatari delegation was in constant contact
00:15:48these negotiations. On the other
00:15:51hand, there are reports here in Washington
00:15:55talking about and especially Axios quoting
00:15:58also some developments related
00:16:02to the possibility of military escalation
00:16:05and a strike
00:16:07after the midterm elections. Axios reported
00:16:11that the phone call that took place between Trump
00:16:14and Netanyahu meant that the Israeli
00:16:18Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted
00:16:21an immediate return to these strikes and this
00:16:24escalation after the completion of the midterm
00:16:28elections. But the conversation
00:16:31that was described as difficult
00:16:35showed that President Trump opposed
00:16:38this option and told
00:16:40Netanyahu that he preferred to give
00:16:44a chance to diplomatic efforts
00:16:46at the same time. Today, President
00:16:49Trump made similar
00:16:53statements, saying that there are good negotiations going
00:16:57well, even though the Iranian
00:17:00negotiators cannot
00:17:04be trusted, according to his expression. At the same
00:17:07time, he warned that most
00:17:10of the Iranian forces
00:17:12were destroyed
00:17:16time, including
00:17:19the air force
00:17:22and the air defense and missile
00:17:25capabilities and nuclear sites. He said that
00:17:29one or two sites remained, including
00:17:32Mount Al-Faa Al-Sawi, which is easy to deal with in a short
00:17:35period of time.
00:17:38Also, in other statements in
00:17:41Iowa and on the sidelines of
00:17:44the election rally, President Trump literally said
00:17:48that there are negotiations, but
00:17:52this war will end very soon, one way
00:17:56or another. And this means that if
00:18:00progress is made in the negotiations, then
00:18:03this war will end. And at the same time,
00:18:06if the negotiations go
00:18:10badly, then
00:18:12strikes are very likely.
00:18:16We forgot to talk about the report
00:18:20from Axios just
00:18:24minutes ago, Jamal. Axios quoted
00:18:27American officials as saying that Washington informed
00:18:31leaders in Gulf countries in the Gulf
00:18:34region that airstrikes will target
00:18:37next Wednesday.
00:18:40this about two
00:18:44or three hours ago or more on
00:18:48one of our broadcasts, and we reported this.
00:18:51This information came verbatim from MS
00:18:54Now. MS Now quoted American
00:18:57officials as saying that they informed
00:19:01the leaders of Gulf countries that the strikes
00:19:04November 4th, meaning
00:19:07a specific date. But the White House, according
00:19:11to MS Now, did not
00:19:14deny or confirm at the same time. So, we
00:19:18are facing conflicting reports. Reports talk
00:19:21about
00:19:27negotiations, and there are reports that give
00:19:31a date for a possible US military strike
00:19:35on the 4th of November.
00:19:50Or will the strikes actually happen, as US
00:19:53officials said or warned some Gulf
00:19:57state leaders? Thank you, Jamal. Thank
00:20:01you very much, Shaaban Aboud, Syria TV correspondent from
00:20:04Washington.

00:25:44Ahmed Nami Al-Damad
00:25:48Ahmed Nami, the Circassian Syrian president
00:25:52of origin and the politician who reconciled
00:25:54contradictions.
00:25:57Ahmed Nami was born in Beirut in
00:26:001808.
00:26:04He was from a Circassian family
00:26:06that came from the Caucasus at the end of the 18th
00:26:09century and settled in
00:26:11Syria. His father was one of the prominent
00:26:15mayors of Beirut who contributed to its urban
00:26:19renaissance.
00:26:20Nami
00:26:28worked during the Ottoman era in the administration
00:26:31of Ottoman diwans in Izmir, Turkey, and in Beirut.
00:26:35During his time in Turkey, and due to
00:26:38his proximity to high-ranking officials, he married
00:26:41the daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid II,
00:26:45Aisha Sultan, and was subsequently
00:26:48nicknamed Al-Damad, meaning
00:26:50the Sultan's son-in-law. After the outbreak of World War
00:26:54I, he traveled to Europe and lived for a relatively
00:26:57long period in France, which helped him
00:27:00build strong
00:27:03the French.
00:27:07Al-Damad Nami returned to Beirut and was appointed in
00:27:101926
00:27:12as president of the Syrian Federation. At that
00:27:16time, the situation in Syria was very
00:27:19turbulent due to the outbreak of the Great Syrian
00:27:22Revolution. Al-Damad Nami's appointment came
00:27:25to work towards calming that
00:27:27situation. Al-Damad Nami managed to achieve
00:27:31important accomplishments during his presidency, which
00:27:34lasted until
00:27:361928,
00:27:39which made him gain great popularity among
00:27:43Syrians of all
00:27:45backgrounds.
00:27:52He managed to form his government equally between
00:27:56nationalists who were hostile to France
00:27:58and moderates who supported it. This government succeeded
00:28:02in abolishing the exceptional courts that
00:28:05were arbitrarily trying the rebels of the Great Syrian
00:28:08Revolution. It also succeeded in transforming the mandate
00:28:12into a treaty between France and Syria,
00:28:15similar to the one between Iraq and Britain,
00:28:19which would be a step towards
00:28:22independence later. To reinforce this
00:28:25step, Nami's government worked to include
00:28:28Syria in the League of Nations, making
00:28:31it a recognized entity.
00:28:34Al-Damad
00:28:38Nami was the first to visit the internal
00:28:41Syrian regions such as Aleppo, Homs,
00:28:45and Hama to emphasize the unity of federal
00:28:48Syria at the time. He also contributed to convincing the French to annex the Alawite
00:28:52state to the Syrian Federation and prevent
00:28:56its separation.
00:29:04After the end of his presidency due to political
00:29:08unrest and disputes, the idea of constitutional
00:29:11monarchy in Syria was proposed, and many names
00:29:15were nominated to ascend the Syrian throne, including
00:29:17Prince Faisal and Khedive Abbas Hilmi II, in addition
00:29:21to Al-Damad Nami
00:29:25settled on adopting the republican system, which is still in
00:29:29place today.
00:29:33Al-Damad Nami passed away in Beirut in
00:29:361963,
00:29:39having retired from political life
00:29:43and was buried in his family's cemetery.
