00:00:00This undermines Syrian sovereignty and undermines the process of
00:00:03building today.
00:00:05To prevent the formation of this threat on Also, in Damascus's options for confrontation,
00:00:06placed toxic materials so that there strategically, it is necessary to
00:00:11any real and tangible reactions on adhere to two points, or one specific point, which is
00:00:13adherence to national options through diplomatic approaches and activating
00:00:17political and diplomatic pressure tools. However,
00:00:19The most important thing I believe this is also not enough. We must move towards a wide range of strengthening
00:00:24Israel and end these violations in the internal front, especially
00:00:25that as justifications, as they do in the people of the southern region, because today the south is considered the gateway to
00:00:28Syrian national security. It is necessary to protect the population
00:00:33the residents, what are their most prominent materially and morally to the extent that it is not possible to cancel the idea of any
00:00:37military action from the Syrian dictionary, even if the balance of power is not
00:00:41in favor of Syria. Syria
00:00:44the communities. The occupation's leadership today in a way that today wants to eliminate problems and
00:00:46does not want to be a source of concern. But if we look at
00:00:50experience they used with Israel's behavior, Israel adopts what is called the swinging ceilings strategy.
00:00:53It escalates according to the reaction of
00:01:02pretext, or perhaps a larger expansion at least, the ability to the other party. And there were also reactions from Damascus, meaning through a statement by President Ahmed Al-Shara when he said, "The occupation can start the war, but it cannot
00:01:05end it." In common parlance, I can
00:01:09summarize it as "war is our game." So,
00:01:13it is necessary to activate all tools while adhering to the strategic
00:01:16option and not being drawn into Israeli provocations.
00:01:19There are successes at the diplomatic, international,
00:01:22and legal levels, but there are also gaps.
00:01:25The internal front must be fortified, especially the population, materially.
00:01:32And when Israel imposes
00:01:35restrictions on the movement of people and determines how they move, what does that indicate?
00:01:39Are we today perhaps
00:01:42facing an attempt to impose new realities, an attempt to
00:01:46impose the authority of the de facto authority, the authority of the Israeli occupation in these
00:01:48areas? What is happening in southern
00:01:52Syria is an exploitation
00:01:56and international alliances. This of the transitional period after the fall of the regime
00:01:58to transform the areas
00:02:01by honesty when working in in southern Syria from areas of isolation and occupation
00:02:05to areas of security and military
00:02:08influence and open control.
00:02:12It wants to manage this region.
00:02:15The belief that Israel will withdraw from these
00:02:18areas, especially from Mount Hermon, which it occupied after the fall
00:02:21of the regime, considering this area a strategic
00:02:24military area, I do not think that Israel will withdraw in exchange for
00:02:27speeches here and there or in exchange for
00:02:31I will speak, I mean, I will respond Jann, a number of United Nations resolutions. Palestinians have obtained more than
00:02:331000 resolutions in the United Nations, whether from the General Assembly or from
00:02:37the Security Council. The problem is that if
00:02:41Israel does not pay the price for
00:02:44is with me in the its occupation militarily or politically, and it does not pay
00:02:48it legally, I do not think
00:02:50that the issue in that it will withdraw and will turn this area,
00:02:53and will turn this area not only into a zone of security
00:02:57legally to enter this and military influence, but will control
00:03:00every detail in this area,
00:03:03most likely he is our brother from war with and perhaps it will expand. It will take advantage of
00:03:06the absence of real and tangible reactions,
00:03:10and the absence of a custom of occupation
00:03:13being met with attrition. If there is no
00:03:17attrition at the legal, political, military, or
00:03:20military level, I do not think that Israel
00:03:23will stop. It will bypass all measures,
00:03:26and we have a lot of experience with this. And
00:03:30especially in an alliance... this experience, Dr. Amjad, regarding the Palestinian experience,
00:03:33what is happening in the south today, is it similar? Are we
00:03:37facing a similar model to what happened in the Palestinian territories, or
00:03:42I heard from a different model? No, we are facing a new model that may
00:03:46develop. They
00:03:49to know that southern Syria is the balance want to provoke the Syrians these areas. This means they do so that there will be reactions.
00:03:52They use these reactions to claim that there is a danger. They portray
00:03:56the Syrian regime as a Daeshi, Islamist regime that poses a threat
00:04:01to Israel. This is the first justification. The second justification
00:04:04is that they justify everything they do to the Israeli internal front
00:04:07by saying that Syrian lands
00:04:10are lands given by
00:04:13God. It is a divine promise and an absolute
00:04:17right for Jews to occupy them.
00:04:20Now, things are happening slowly
00:04:23and cautiously, but when realities are imposed on
00:04:26the ground, it becomes very difficult, from our
00:04:30experience, to reverse any developments on the ground. They consider
00:04:34that, in quotation marks,
00:04:38we in the West Bank have conclusions. They consider that everything
00:04:41that is achieved on the ground cannot be reversed. Israel does not
00:04:45retreat from what it does on the ground unless
00:04:49it pays the price. If there is no price,
00:04:52it will continue its incursions and
00:04:55increase its violations of Syrian sovereignty,
00:04:59of Syrian lands, and also
00:05:01people are an integral violate the rights of citizens,
00:05:04whether in agriculture. We have seen what they do in the lands they
00:05:07occupy. They did that with Lebanon. They
00:05:11even
00:05:19would be no possibility in the future to cultivate these lands.
00:05:22It is likely that this will happen
00:05:25in the coming days and months.
00:05:28Also, there is a possibility of destroying houses, and also blowing up houses in case there
00:05:32is armed resistance. They exploit
00:05:38Hebron currently. They demolished dozens of houses under
00:05:41the pretext that Palestinian resistance fighters
00:05:45attacked one of the military checkpoints
00:05:48in Hebron, and this is what happened in Syria as well,
00:05:51in terms of land leveling. They are doing it, yes, they are doing it
00:05:55should not be dealt with by political statements
00:05:59and symbolic steps. So what are the tools
00:06:02that can be used
00:06:05from experience to have a program and to have,
00:06:11hinder or freeze Israeli steps, hoping that there
00:06:14will be changes at the level, as your esteemed guest mentioned,
00:06:18at the regional level, or that there will be a political
00:06:21will to deal with Israel? But Israel feels
00:06:25that it is far from accountability and punishment.
00:06:28It committed a crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
00:06:32In international law, the crime of genocide is considered the
00:06:36mother of all crimes. No one held it accountable, neither Arabs nor
00:06:39Muslims. There were condemnations and denunciations, and also
00:06:43war crimes are committed daily in Syria, in southern Syria, in
00:06:47southern Lebanon, and also crimes against humanity in the Palestinian
00:06:50territories. The question here is, if there are no deterrents,
00:06:54I do not think that Israel will stop, and the belief
00:06:58that Israel will collapse, and relying on
00:07:01the illusion that Israel will collapse from within and that it has problems. Israel,
00:07:05since its establishment until today, is not a homogeneous
00:07:08society, but they unite on an ideology
00:07:11and a doctrine that preserves their cohesion,
00:07:15especially when they feel that what they are doing
00:07:19is justified as God's chosen people.
00:07:22When we watch
00:07:24Israeli television, there is
00:07:26not even a sense of
00:07:30guilt for what they are doing towards Palestinians and towards the Gaza
00:07:33Strip, where martyrs fall daily
00:07:36due to starvation, the policy of starvation, or due to bombing
00:07:39operations or the spread of diseases.
00:07:43And the issue of siege and tightening the siege will increase. They can
00:07:47do that in southern Syria, especially by imposing military
00:07:50checkpoints, turning densely populated
00:07:53areas into detention camps. To what extent is this sufficient to really
00:07:57rely on, given the testimonies of the residents and the documentation that
00:08:00we see every day of violations
00:08:03and the expansion of the Israeli occupation in these lands? And what does Syria really
00:08:07need
00:08:10path?
00:08:24at the level. There must be political tools, field
00:08:27tools, legal tools,
00:08:30and also an attempt to find a way to
00:08:33impose sanctions. Because if the Syrian
00:08:37government does not possess political tools to pressure
00:08:39Israel,
00:08:43It is unreasonable
00:08:45for everyone to try to support the Syrian government and lift
00:08:49sanctions at a time when Israel is trying
00:08:52to prevent the development of the Syrian state, whether at the institutional
00:08:56level, trying to destroy its credibility with
00:08:59the Syrian people, and also with regard
00:09:03to rebuilding its military and security forces,
00:09:07and also the Syrian economy. I mean, if these
00:09:10violations exist, who will invest money in
00:09:14economic projects in Syria if the government
00:09:18cannot extend its influence over Syrian territory,
00:09:21especially in the south, in southern Syrian territory? And also
00:09:24the possibility of Israel carrying out bombing operations at any moment.
00:09:27If there is no very clear
00:09:30solution that contributes to the stability of the Syrian state
00:09:33and also to its transition to a phase of reconstruction at all
00:09:37levels, I believe Israel is achieving a primary
00:09:40goal, which is to prevent the re-formation of the Syrian
00:09:44state as a state with an economic
00:09:48, military, and political status, and also
00:09:51to preserve its sovereignty. By continuing
00:09:55this policy, Israel, I believe, poses a threat
00:09:58to the future of Syrians, not only in southern Syria, but also to
00:10:02the future of the Syrian state, threatening its stability
00:10:05and also trying to turn even the Sweida
00:10:09governorate into a province
00:10:12affiliated with the Israeli occupation. The information
00:10:15we receive indicates economic, military,
00:10:19logistical, and training support in Sweida
00:10:22governorate. All of this poses a threat.
00:10:30Syrian territory, Mr. Abdul Mawla, as my guest mentioned earlier, the absence of
00:10:36the ground will make the Israeli occupation
00:10:39continue its escalation in southern Syria. What
00:10:42are the actual tools that the Syrian government possesses
00:10:45today to pressure southern
00:10:49Syria?
00:10:52Yes, it is known that
00:10:55we are all sons of Syria, and Syria has emerged from
00:10:58a 15-year revolution, and it is a completely
00:11:01devastated country, and the army is being rebuilt,
00:11:05and the political
00:11:08spares no effort in
00:11:11the issue of international mobilization. The issue of
00:11:14mobilization, even yesterday, Foreign Minister Asaad
00:11:18Al-Shaibani spoke
00:11:21about, meaning, discussions and
00:11:25a serious idea about
00:11:28Syria joining the Mecca alliance. This
00:11:31means one of the most important things that connects
00:11:35Syria to its Arab, Islamic,
00:11:37and regional depth. So,
00:11:40these brothers who spoke
00:11:43spoke about the necessity of
00:11:46deterrence. I agree with this deterrence,
00:11:49but in terms of the deterrence that
00:11:53is well-studied. Is Syria
00:11:57today ready to open a major
00:12:00battle?
00:12:03Mr. Abdul Mawla, there was a previous discussion
00:12:07about reaching negotiations
00:12:10between the Syrian government and also the Israeli occupation to prevent these
00:12:14violations and the escalation we are witnessing in the south. This path of
00:12:18negotiations, there is no doubt that there are negotiations, and the Syrian
00:12:21side only spoke about negotiations for a security
00:12:25agreement. Yes, a security agreement
00:12:28that ensures calm. And the Israeli
00:12:32breaches were confronted
00:12:35more than four times, and many
00:12:38martyrs fell in Nawa when
00:12:41we confronted the Israeli occupation forces when
00:12:44they advanced to Harish Al-Seil.
00:12:47More than 10 martyrs fell in the village of
00:12:50Jmeileh, three martyrs fell. In Beit
00:12:55martyrs fell, all of them in confrontation with
00:12:58the Israeli occupation. So,
00:13:02the deterrence that suits the current phase
00:13:05may have happened, but today, are
00:13:09we, as Syria, having emerged from
00:13:13this revolution, does he want, for example,
00:13:16I want the esteemed guest to tell me what military
00:13:19deterrence he is thinking of? Are
00:13:23we facing an open confrontation? An open war? Does he want an open
00:13:27the Zionist entity? I
00:13:31say that the Zionist
00:13:34entity will not embark on this war
00:13:37because it will also lose. We are not the only ones
00:13:40who will lose, but the entity will also lose
00:13:43because there is depth and there
00:13:46are major repercussions, and the political leadership, as
00:13:50it has always stated, and as it is known, that
00:13:53war, or that battles,
00:13:55and that the mentality of
00:13:58establishing our presence on our land is the mentality of
00:14:02the current Syrian government. But we do not want
00:14:05war at this stage, but with time,
00:14:08it has been imposed on us.
00:14:12So, welcome.
00:14:15And the Syrian people will only be
00:14:18honorable at that
00:14:21juncture, and the Syrian government,
00:14:26please, Dr. Amjad, my dear professor, I am
00:14:30talking about deterrents that are not just military. I am not talking about military.
00:14:33I know that the Syrian government is in
00:14:37a transitional phase, and the country is devastated due to
00:14:40the Syrian regime. I am talking about
00:14:44a strategy, about a program to support
00:14:46the foundations of survival, and not just the foundations of survival. There
00:14:50must be political tools, legal tools, and also
00:14:54there must be, at least,
00:14:57peaceful resistance to avoid giving
00:15:00excuses. I mean,
00:15:03a strategic absence in dealing with the occupation in the West
00:15:06Bank. A lack of popular resistance.
00:15:10A complete prostration that the
00:15:14occupation exploits and becomes more brutal, and also
00:15:18in imposing its narrative and ideology. We
00:15:20do not see any reactions. I mean, if there is no, and this is advice,
00:15:24of course. The Syrian
00:15:26part of it. I consider myself Syrian,
00:15:30Lebanese, and Palestinian at the same time, because this is basically
00:15:34the Levant. But the fear is that the
00:15:37same failed experience will be repeated by
00:15:40the Palestinian leadership in confronting Israeli
00:15:44strategies and waiting for others or waiting for
00:15:47external support at a time when Israel is violating
00:15:51everything. Here lies the greater
00:15:52danger.
00:15:57in the basic step is the cohesion of the Syrian people as
00:16:00a whole against the imminent dangers from
00:16:03the Israeli occupation, and at the forefront of these is
00:16:07the process of incursions and attempts to change
00:16:10the geographical, demographic, political, security,
00:16:13and military landscape in Syrian territories, especially in southern
00:16:16Syria. The Palestinian experience
00:16:18is
00:16:21a very painful experience, unfortunately.
00:16:25They are repeating the same
00:16:28the Palestinians. So, I am not asking in
00:16:31my intervention for the Syrian army, which does not possess the means
00:16:34of confrontation, to take action. But at least, there should be a program
00:16:38and a strategy adopted by the Syrian government fundamentally
00:16:41to try to get out
00:16:44and save the state, save the people, and save
00:16:48the land, because the occupation of the land also cannot
00:16:51be tolerated. If there is silence, they might even
00:16:54enter and occupy Damascus, the capital. They have
00:16:58no deterrents here. This is the biggest problem. Well, what
00:17:01do you think, Mr. Ibrahim, regarding deterrence,
00:17:05especially since my guest mentioned earlier
00:17:07the absence of any real and tangible reactions on the ground, which
00:17:11allows the Israeli occupation to continue its excesses in these
00:17:14lands in southern Syria, and perhaps to other lands? The expansion so
00:17:18that the occupation forces will extend to other lands. How can this be dealt with
00:17:22legally, even politically, and by moving the file at the international
00:17:25level?
00:17:36governorate, and we thank them. May God reward them. Mr. Abdul
00:17:39Mawla is from Daraa, and Daraa is a depth,
00:17:42meaning Daraa now constitutes the real barrier to the occupation not
00:17:46occupying three Syrian governorates. In fact, the people of Daraa,
00:17:50the people of Daraa, the cradle of the revolution, are the ones who prevent it. I
00:17:53say, and this speech is directed to Mr. Abdul Mawla, with all due respect,
00:17:57he now represents the legislative authority. I ask him
00:18:00to form, through him, and his intervention in
00:18:03the People's Assembly was really strong, to form a committee. This
00:18:07committee should consist of members of the People's Assembly from
00:18:11Quneitra and Daraa governorates. An economic committee, Mr. Abdul Mawla.
00:18:14The devastated region, Quneitra governorate, now the devastated
00:18:17city, the old city, and you know it, it is required
00:18:21to strengthen it demographically. The occupation will not be deterred by
00:18:25international law, nor America, nor even the region. And Gaza was completely
00:18:28annihilated, and the Arabs, the West,
00:18:32and the East are all watching. I fully understand that the Syrian government
00:18:36does not want to enter an unequal war with the entity,
00:18:38and the decision of peace and war rests with the political leadership, and we
00:18:42are behind our state and our leadership, unequivocally. The people of Quneitra
00:18:45governorate, all we ask of you is to form a legal
00:18:48committee from members of the People's Assembly and to form an economic committee.
00:18:52The legal committee documents these violations and prepares
00:18:55a file. And the Arab and Western parliaments.
00:18:59Mr. Abdul Mawla, today you represent the people, the legislative authority
00:19:03who represent this legal file to all European and Arab parliaments.
00:19:08The occupation killed a young man with special needs.
00:19:11This is a war crime in every sense of the word.
00:19:14Spreading poison in crops is a war crime.
00:19:17Killing, kidnapping 43 of our children, and they are present in
00:19:23not want you, Mr. Abdul Mawla,
00:19:27in the Syrian equation. If we cannot impose our sovereignty in this region, by God,
00:19:31we will not have any standing, and we will not build a scientific,
00:19:34economic, or civilized state. I am not
00:19:38saying that you misunderstood me. You are members of the People's
00:19:41Assembly. You are in a government. The previous regime was the guardian of the borders. Now
00:19:45this government represents the revolution. You represent, whether the legislative authority or the executive
00:19:49authority, and we are behind you. But all
00:19:53I am telling you are the concerns of the people in the region, in the border
00:19:56villages, the concerns of the people now. The legal file, Mr. Abdul Mawla,
00:19:59I put it in your trust. A legal file. You, as a member of the People's Assembly,
00:20:03demand the formation of a legal committee from members of the People's Assembly, whose task
00:20:06is solely to document the incursions of the occupation, its violations
00:20:10in the Quneitra countryside and in Daraa. We and Daraa
00:20:14are one pain. I mean, it should not happen. The incursions are Daraa
00:20:18and Quneitra. And the other suggestion, with all my love
00:20:22for you, is to form an economic committee. The economic
00:20:24committee can be supported not only by the state, but also by civil
00:20:28society to support the steadfastness of our people in the border villages.
00:20:32The steadfastness of our people and strengthening the demographics is the real
00:20:35and current response to the occupation's violations.
00:20:38The occupation is betting on frightening people to empty
00:20:42the region, and therefore the brothers said that the occupation
00:20:45does not want. Yes, the occupation does not want, and my father, Mr. Abdul Mawla,
00:20:49told me in '67 that the occupation of Quneitra would last three weeks. The occupation
00:20:53withdrew, and now from '67 until now, the keys
00:20:56to our homes are still in our pockets, Mr. Abdul Mawla. What I fear
00:20:59most is that this operation is to take control of southern Syria
00:21:02completely and empty the region of its inhabitants, and therefore
00:21:06we will face a real dilemma. This is what I meant, I did not mean
00:21:10to conclude with you, Mr. Ibrahim. If we wanted to identify the needs
00:21:14of the residents today, especially since my guest mentioned earlier
00:21:16the issue of a visit that took place to support the residents. Today, in the face of these
00:21:20violations and this pressure on
00:21:23needs? The needs of the residents of the border
00:21:27areas. First, everyone should know that the residents of the border
00:21:31areas have relatives in
00:21:34tightening of pressure on them makes them flee from
00:21:38this area towards the communities inside Damascus
00:21:40and its countryside. What is required from our brothers and loved ones, the members
00:21:43of the Syrian Parliament, all the people of Syria
00:21:47entirely, I mean, the only governorate
00:21:50that has not been helped is the people of Quneitra governorate. All
00:21:53governorates, even our brothers and our people, our loved ones in Daraa, they have had
00:21:57it. Now, the steadfastness of the shepherds with their sheep must be strengthened,
00:21:59the steadfastness of the farmers with their crops must be strengthened,
00:22:03their steadfastness must be strengthened. How? By helping them against what
00:22:06the occupation did by destroying their crops,
00:22:09and slaughtering their livestock. And the other file that I entrust
00:22:12to the members of the People's Assembly is the file of the missing. Now,
00:22:16our children are accused of being affiliated with militias. There is a state, and I trust my state,
00:22:20it is the one that holds accountable if this is organized
00:22:23by militias or Iran. We do not want the decision of peace and war
00:22:26to be in anyone's hands but the state's. But I am sounding
00:22:30the alarm. If this area is left, there
00:22:34will be unpredictable reactions. Therefore,
00:22:36I mean, what they need is political
00:22:40support, moral support that the 40 members of the People's Assembly provided. By God,
00:22:44people felt hope and felt that these people came to
00:22:48share their
00:22:50concerns. I ask Mr. Abdul Mawla and the members of the People's Assembly
00:22:53to make repeated visits and support the steadfastness of the residents, whether through
00:22:57civil initiatives. And please, demand the formation of a legal
00:23:00committee.
00:23:02Please respond to that, and to what extent is there really
00:23:05a problem with forming this committee, the committee to document violations,
00:23:09and also what the Israeli occupation is doing in terms of land leveling,
00:23:13and also the file
00:23:14of the missing?
00:23:37I say clearly
00:23:40southern Syria, the issue of southern Syria
00:23:44today is not only the issue of Daraa and Quneitra,
00:23:47and the issue of our brother, I mean,
00:23:53the West Bank or from Palestine, our brothers in Palestine.
00:23:56The issue of Palestine is the issue of Syrians, and the issue
00:23:59of Syrians is the issue of Palestinians.
00:24:02And we are all children of one region, and we are all
00:24:06people of one cause and one concern. And therefore,
00:24:09this issue,
00:24:12I am very happy that
00:24:16brothers from other countries
00:24:20share this concern with us, just as we carry the Palestinian
00:24:23cause in our hearts.
00:24:27There is no doubt that everyone understands, as
00:24:32the two esteemed brothers, that the major
00:24:35confrontation or open war
00:24:38now needs bigger
00:24:42decisions and greater organization.
00:24:45But today, yes,
00:24:48we need to establish
00:24:51demographics. Yes, we need to keep people
00:24:54on their land. We need economic support,
00:24:58and this is what we strive for. And
00:25:01I am also a member, I mean, I am a member of the Security and Defense Committee
00:25:05and a member of the Committee for Martyrs, Wounded, and Missing.
00:25:09We follow the file
00:25:12of the missing. I mean, in all Arab countries, in all neighboring countries,
00:25:15there are, I mean,
00:25:18detainees, and there are, I mean,
00:25:21with the Zionist entity, more than 40 detainees now.
00:25:24We document their names
00:25:28and follow up on them continuously. But you know
00:25:31that the nature of the relationship with the Zionist entity is the Zionist
00:25:35entity. It is, I mean, a relationship
00:25:39with an enemy, and therefore the relationship with this enemy
00:25:42is not like the relationship with a friendly country, or
00:25:46we can send a delegation and demand the release of detainees,
00:25:49as we did in Lebanon, as we did in all
00:25:52other countries. And there was a state of brotherhood.
00:25:56There was a response, and I agree. There is no doubt
00:25:59that there is, I mean, we have a legal committee
00:26:12in the People's Assembly. The members of parliament from southern
00:26:15Syria, from Daraa and Quneitra, are the ones who
00:26:19interact with the issue of borders
00:26:22and violations. No, all
00:26:25deputies in the Syrian People's Assembly
00:26:29interact strongly with this. If
00:26:33Israel thinks that
00:26:36its occupation or intention to occupy southern Syria
00:26:40will pass, this will not happen at all. The entire
00:26:43region will go to an open war and to
00:26:47chaos, and the result will never
00:26:50be in its favor. Mr. Khalid, I would like to conclude with you briefly, please,
00:26:53regarding the future of the region based on these Israeli
00:26:57incursions and movements. Are we facing incursions
00:27:00under an Israeli security
00:27:04in the region, a gradual project to impose new realities on the ground?
00:27:08Briefly, please. I mentioned earlier
00:27:11that what, especially the internal condition.
00:27:14I want to comment on what was mentioned during this episode.
00:27:18We do not disagree with the esteemed guests about the extent
00:27:21of the Zionist entity's criminality and that it is a genocidal
00:27:25regime. But we must read some national security
00:27:28issues more objectively.
00:27:35Yes, in the disengagement plan from Gaza in 2005,
00:27:38without any significant resistance. It also withdrew from the Sinai
00:27:42Peninsula today. Syria faces a strategic danger. It must
00:27:45go with its objective conditions and with a conscious reading of the internal scene
00:27:48by fortifying the internal front and strengthening the population and empowering
00:27:52the geopolitical through weaving
00:27:55its regional
00:27:58feeling is understood, but also this exaggeration is not required
00:28:04this matter. There is a shortcoming from
00:28:07the government in supporting the southern
00:28:10region. It must intensify in this direction, and there
00:28:13is also a clear program through activating political, diplomatic,
00:28:17legal, and UN pressure tools and regional alliances. My guest
00:28:21from Damascus, the journalist specializing in Israeli affairs, Khaled Khalil.
00:28:24Thank you very much, and I thank Abdul Mawla Al-Hariri, member of the People's Assembly from
00:28:28Damascus, and Dr. Amjad Shihab Al-Din, professor of law
00:28:31and international relations, who was with us from occupied Jerusalem, and Ibrahim
00:28:34Al-Thalji, who was a member of the political committee of the Golan Sons Gathering
00:28:37from Birman. Thank you very much, my dear guests.
00:28:41A short break and we will return, viewers, to discuss the seizure
00:28:45of more than four million Captagon pills and the dismantling of 30
00:28:49smuggling networks last October.
00:29:09And the Syrians now have a country in which
00:29:13we are in the
00:29:18middle of. In a country that lived oppression, injustice, displacement,
00:29:22and war, but it revolted until
00:29:26it triumphed. In a country where narratives
00:29:29are diverse and contradictory.
00:29:36We open a window on all
00:29:39the compromises that are still being formed. When will there be
00:29:43a time to listen to people from inside the country and from every
00:29:46expatriate, with dialogues
00:29:49and debates about the most important and most complex
00:29:52issues, to have
00:29:55a negotiator
00:29:57on two ideas so that we can meet at a point
00:29:59that unites us.
00:30:02The country on Syrian Television and the
00:30:06second channel.
00:30:10We
00:30:17are sitting inside, and these people here make us cry. By God,
00:30:20we hear the pain of bones that are
00:30:22breaking.
00:30:30Every blanket I smell. I feel that there is blood mixed
00:30:34with the smell of humans.
00:30:38When they call during torture, you really don't know if you will come back alive or
00:30:42dead.
00:30:49I remember hearing the gray hair crack
