00:00:00in the south of Quneitra governorate, specifically west of Al-Rafid town,
00:00:03reaching Saida Al-Hanout. It
00:00:07is seizing land. We saw in the past period
00:00:11an Israeli tank entering a farm
00:00:16safely, and heal and destroying or running over approximately 700 trees that are 20 years old.
00:00:19A farm. So, did you document these incidents, sir?
00:00:23Did you document these stories and reach
00:00:25budget will be presented to the media as they should? We as independent journalists
00:00:29been presented yet, but it will be in Parliament are working and risking our lives.
00:00:31life? This Of course, we were subjected to gunfire, we were subjected to bomb
00:00:33attacks, even from Israeli
00:00:36drone that fired a shell at us while we were documenting
00:00:41there are directives from one of the violations in Beit Jann area. Also, I mean, we are trying
00:00:44as much as possible, as Dr. Tariq mentioned, with the tools we have
00:00:47to reach out with. I mean, the camera isn't
00:00:49No one from getting enough support from
00:00:52the Syrian government. As an independent journalist, I haven't seen
00:00:56any support from the Syrian government
00:00:58Now, I mean, we started from honestly, until now. Neither the Ministry of Information nor the Directorate of Information nor anything else.
00:01:01We only get permits and access facilities, etc. Other than
00:01:06long period. On the contrary, that, we don't get anything. So, when you're filming and your words reach
00:01:09the media stations and institutions, are they published as they should be, or is there any distortion in this
00:01:12regard? Of course, we convey
00:01:15prisons. This the voice through channels, through newspapers, we even convey it to
00:01:18the Syrian government. Sometimes we
00:01:21The forum from cooperate with them as directors of regions, as the Quneitra
00:01:23Directorate of Information for the governorate. We submit monthly
00:01:27and weekly documentations of the violations that are happening. We convey it from the region.
00:01:31fruitful, and now from We don't fall short with anyone. You are not falling short. Is anyone falling short with you? Honestly, for
00:01:35me, until now, I haven't seen anything from
00:01:38that amount is. the government, frankly. Well, let me see the professor in the third row as well,
00:01:41please.
00:01:45Good evening to you all first. Welcome to Quneitra governorate, among your people
00:01:49and family. Ahmed Hassan, Head of Media Relations at the Quneitra
00:01:52Media Directorate. I would like to
00:01:55send a message to all journalists who are
00:01:58working in the south, whether
00:02:01be initially. This is in Daraa or Quneitra. All thanks for their tremendous efforts.
00:02:04No one is falling short. They are exposed to great danger.
00:02:09to make the picture Honestly, they are stationed at a great frontier,
00:02:11and whatever we do, we will always
00:02:15the brothers in charge, with fall short of what they deserve because the burden they are carrying is
00:02:18a great burden on them, frankly. Regarding, I want to talk, even
00:02:22briefly, about our work as the Media
00:02:24Directorate. We have journalists
00:02:27daily from various
00:02:31independent bodies, in addition
00:02:33to the work of government media bodies
00:02:37and official ones, so they work as
00:02:40one unit, frankly. Daily, I personally receive many
00:02:43media outlets that come from
00:02:46various places, whether local
00:02:49or from other governorates, their centers
00:02:52or outside the country. Everyone is present
00:02:56in the governorate's field. I personally accompany them. We
00:03:00try to provide the required data, secure meetings
00:03:03and interviews. I mean, daily we are present
00:03:07with the families of detainees. We strive to convey their voices
00:03:12it was canceled to provide, I mean, to offer everything we can to them, frankly. As for
00:03:15journalists, excuse me, let me ask
00:03:17I am not aware you a question. In your opinion, do the Israeli
00:03:22next to her. attacks on Quneitra specifically
00:03:22to revive such and western Daraa receive the coverage they
00:03:27raise this deserve from the various television channels?
00:03:29Whatever they are, there isn't any, I mean, I don't know anyone
00:03:33from the Syrian News Agency, Syrian TV or others. I'm
00:03:36asking you, are you satisfied with this matter? If not, what needs to be done? If yes,
00:03:40then it's good, without sugarcoating the image at all. Within the available capabilities
00:03:44of journalists in Quneitra governorate, things, I mean, they
00:03:48are making an effort, I mean, more than their capacity, frankly. And journalists, but I'm talking about
00:03:51channels, even channels. Honestly, I accompany
00:03:55more than one media outlet daily. Daily, I mean,
00:03:58we are actually from early morning, I mean,
00:04:02until evening, actually present with them in the field, frankly. So, to be honest,
00:04:06within the capabilities they have, even we, as updated
00:04:09directorates, the capabilities we have as updated directorates, honestly,
00:04:13I mean, they still need a lot of work. I mean, new
00:04:17updated directorates, I mean, we cannot compare them to
00:04:20directorates that have a long history
00:04:22Bashar, nor did they carry a rifle against and were established a long time ago, frankly. Okay,
00:04:26before I talk about
00:04:28the economic aspect and here we get into what the government is offering more,
00:04:32I want to extend a very big greeting to all the journalists of the South.
00:04:35Perhaps there was some confusion in the past couple of days regarding
00:04:39a video. There
00:04:43is no doubt, no one can outbid
00:04:46the media heroes in the South who are facing
00:04:49at least, as you walk, you see a drone here threatening you at
00:04:53any moment to abduct you, God forbid,
00:04:56or more than that. A very big greeting to all the media
00:05:00of the South who are covering the front lines, and they
00:05:03my children, "Either you come with us or we will remove this are not to be mocked at all.
00:05:06But unfortunately,
00:05:09And that will appear, God willing, in in southern Syria, fear does not stop at the doorstep of the house. It's
00:05:12not just about drones, rifles, bullets, and soldiers humiliating
00:05:16people. The story goes to the land, livelihood,
00:05:20work, and future.
00:05:23Land that no one can reach, an agricultural season
00:05:27threatened, few job opportunities, services
00:05:30that do not meet people's needs. How can the people
00:05:33of Quneitra specifically live, work, and survive
00:05:36under such circumstances? No one can imagine how people live here. Who is responsible
00:05:40for providing the minimum requirements of
00:05:43is the topic I will directly address with the concerned
00:05:47parties in this regard. Mr. Muhammad, what is the economic reality in the governorate
00:05:51today? I mean, as you all know,
00:05:55our country has gone through more than 14 years
00:05:59of wars. The war
00:06:02has destroyed everything, green and dry, it has affected humans, people,
00:06:06and stones, and everything. All elements of life.
00:06:11zero, even below zero.
00:06:13Quneitra is part of this country that has suffered during this
00:06:19we went back several
00:06:21centuries. But the truth is, I mean, especially in the recent period,
00:06:25Quneitra, frankly, I mean, had
00:06:28a special privilege and attention from the leadership. So, the Governor,
00:06:32frankly, I mean, managed to
00:06:36bring most of the government ministers to the governorate's land
00:06:39to see the reality of Quneitra. Frankly, their visits were
00:06:44the sovereign fund, a sum of
00:06:47money has come, I mean, not bad. What do you mean by not bad? You need to tell me how much
00:06:50I mean, a good amount.
00:06:53More than good. Some people consider a thousand dollars good, and some people consider 10
00:06:56million. A million and 5,000
00:06:59dollars came to all of Quneitra? A million and 5,000 for Quneitra?
00:07:03It was requested from the heads of administrative
00:07:06units in Quneitra, whether in the governorate itself
00:07:09or in the communities in Daraa, Damascus countryside, Damascus,
00:07:13that they provide the governorate with projects
00:07:16of high priority, for example, under
00:07:19the title "Our Golan Deserves It."
00:07:23These projects are concerned with cleanliness, roads,
00:07:27sanitation. All of this is only one and a half million dollars. One hundred
00:07:30million. One hundred million dollars? One hundred million.
00:07:34Doctor, what is the amount, people? Is it 100 million dollars or one and a half million?
00:07:37The amount is, in reality, I mean,
00:07:40a large amount. One and a half million dollars.
00:07:43What will you do with this one and a half million dollars?
00:07:46I mean, one and a half million dollars, with all due respect, allow me to speak. Yes, go ahead.
00:07:50The amount is truly large, doctor. But exactly
00:07:53how much is it? Because I will not
00:07:57accept how much. You have to tell me. You have to tell me
00:08:00how much it is. Because if it's one and a half million, it's a disaster. If it's 100
00:08:03million, it's great. But one and a half million is definitely a disaster. What one million? I will
00:08:06tell you the amount because now all municipalities, all
00:08:10administrative units have submitted sanitation projects.
00:08:13Now this town, Khan Arnabah, there
00:08:17was a big challenge in all administrative units, whether in the governorate
00:08:20or in the communities or in Damascus, regarding cleanliness.
00:08:23The large administrative units, for example,
00:08:26like Khan Arnabah, like Jadida Al-Fadl, like
00:08:29Sbein Hajira, this is one, meaning, honorable attendees, so that
00:08:33you know, when we talk about the people of Quneitra, we are talking about people living
00:08:37from here to the Damascus countryside, even to the outskirts
00:08:40of Damascus. So, one and a half million.
00:08:43The large communities now have
00:08:46a contractor collecting waste for three months. I mean,
00:08:49they gave it to contractors in addition to asphalt projects,
00:08:52roads, clearing and paving roads,
00:08:56sanitation, lighting.
00:08:59So the heads of the administrative units submitted these projects, and now they have started
00:09:03and execution has begun. When will the "Golan Deserves It" project
00:09:06be completed? In three months. So, if I come after three months
00:09:10and hold the same meeting here, and you, Dr.
00:09:14Tariq, and Mr. Ahmed, and the people
00:09:17of Quneitra are here, they will tell me the situation has changed. It will be before
00:09:20that, after a month. I mean, after a month from its date, now, I mean,
00:09:24the projects have begun, but they are awaiting
00:09:26approval from the General Secretariat. Have they begun or are they awaiting
00:09:30approval? Because if they have begun, it means they are working. If they are awaiting approval, it means they haven't signed
00:09:34the General Secretariat contracts
00:09:37at the General Secretariat, but the projects that are there have started
00:09:41in stock. As for contracts,
00:09:44they will be approved within days. Okay, let me see Dr. Tariq.
00:09:48What is your information about
00:09:51the projects that will be supported in Quneitra? Excuse me, let me
00:09:54clarify. I'm not trying to be pushy here.
00:09:58When we say we need projects for the people of Quneitra so that people can endure
00:10:01on their land, we are all with you, Doctor, on the contrary. First, allow me
00:10:05to talk about the People's
00:10:08Assembly. There is currently great
00:10:11momentum towards Quneitra Governorate.
00:10:15Great interest from all members of parliament in the issue of Quneitra
00:10:19and supporting Quneitra.
00:10:21the budget that will be presented soon. Doctor, I need promises. What
00:10:25promises do you give to the people here regarding the budget? What
00:10:28do you promise them regarding projects? What do you promise them regarding services?
00:10:32Okay, we can't keep telling them to sit still and endure. We need to tell them what we're going to do for them.
00:10:35Okay, you are monopolizing the conversation. No, I'm not.
00:10:38I want figures. It is not
00:10:42my job to present figures. I will give you
00:10:46information. Soon, the 2027
00:10:50Parliament. It has not
00:10:54soon. And God willing, there will be
00:10:56great support for Quneitra
00:11:00governorate in this budget.
00:11:04Also, I mean,
00:11:06the leadership to all ministries to implement
00:11:10essential projects in the governorate,
00:11:13including the health sector, the agricultural sector, the service
00:11:16sector, the communications sector. What the professor talked
00:11:20about is, I mean, a quick
00:11:23measure. It was a small amount,
00:11:27around one and a half million, to carry out some urgent matters that cannot be delayed,
00:11:31such as cleaning measures and some roads that
00:11:34need quick repair. This is what I mean,
00:11:37Sheikh. But
00:11:40the major projects, God willing, I mean,
00:11:43will be soon.
00:11:46Among them, the work has also started
00:11:50on the hospital, its renovation, and providing it with the equipment
00:11:53it needs. Support for the health sector, the agricultural sector,
00:11:57which is the most important sector for citizens in the governorate.
00:12:01I mean, there is great attention, and the
00:12:04minister has made promises and has completed
00:12:08some of them, and we will follow up with him on the remaining part, and we are currently following
00:12:12up to complete these promises. I mean, we know that we are here in one of
00:12:15the most fertile areas of Syria. Is that right? But also the agricultural sector
00:12:19in Syria, in Quneitra, unfortunately, has suffered a lot due to
00:12:22the entity's aggressions.
00:12:25Are there any draft laws to compensate farmers
00:12:28to enable them to restore their crops or their ability to produce,
00:12:32or have we not thought about that yet? Of course, this
00:12:35is under discussion, and
00:12:38it is confirmed that there will be
00:12:41compensation, especially for those whose farms were bulldozed.
00:12:45This matter is resolved, and it will be, God willing, in the near future. And if we
00:12:49have another meeting in the governorate, this matter will have
00:12:52been completed. There are also
00:12:55other projects in the governorate, including investment projects
00:12:59related to water and renewable
00:13:03energy. I mean, there are
00:13:06projects that will start, God willing, at the beginning of the new year. I have a small question.
00:13:10Yes. In the donation campaigns that took place, such as Bashri
00:13:13Houran, Fidaki Ya Hamam, Halab is all
00:13:16pride, and so on, and Wafaa Idlib. Why didn't something like that happen
00:13:20in Quneitra? Quneitra has expatriates who could have supported. Why didn't these campaigns
00:13:23happen? Frankly, there
00:13:26was a project
00:13:30to launch a donation
00:13:32campaign, but
00:13:37more than a year ago. Why?
00:13:42of the reasons that led to its cancellation, but it was canceled. Is it possible
00:13:47a project? Well, we can
00:13:52matter with the Master. The issue of Quneitra is a national issue.
00:13:55I mean, it's not just the people of Quneitra who will contribute to it. I mean, today, when you say I want to support Quneitra,
00:13:59all Syrians will rise up. At least, like this,
00:14:02isn't it? Yes, there may be some discussion on this matter
00:14:06and a proposal for donations at the national
00:14:10level. This
00:14:12is it.
00:14:15Now, there is a donation campaign, even a
00:14:18small one, from businessmen. The Governor's target
00:14:22was schools, under the slogan "Pen
00:14:25and Warmth." Among the priorities now is that we are approaching winter.
00:14:28Buying heaters, repairing doors,
00:14:32windows, glass for schools before
00:14:34the start of winter. I mean, there is a certain amount,
00:14:38and now we have assessed the needs of schools, all
00:14:41schools, whether dedicated or exactly,
00:14:45I don't know, but we will cover
00:14:48the basic needs in schools, God willing. Sir, there, please. If
00:14:52you allow.
00:14:55Thank you for your visit because you feel our pain
00:14:59and you have come to see our pain. This is the least we can do.
00:15:03God bless you. And sorry for the delay. My name is
00:15:06Rasha Hassan Zaitoun from Jabat al-Khashab. My
00:15:10children's father died at the beginning of the Syrian revolution. He left me four
00:15:13children. I spent my life trying to protect them. I went everywhere
00:15:17with my children so that I wouldn't see anyone hurt
00:15:21and not be able to do anything. The youngest he left me was one year old. He doesn't know
00:15:25his father.
00:15:27Since the beginning of the revolution, their father and his six
00:15:30siblings left.
00:15:33On 17/9/2025, an occupation
00:15:37patrol came to the house and took
00:15:41my two twin sons, Muhammad
00:15:43Motasem Mraywed and Mahmoud Motasem Mraywed.
00:15:47Until now, for a year and two months, I
00:15:50don't know anything about my children. I knocked on every
00:15:53door, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Damascus, the United
00:15:56Nations in Damascus. I left no governor, no
00:16:00minister, no Red Cross, no
00:16:04place that I didn't knock on. Unfortunately,
00:16:07there is no answer. The only ones who
00:16:10called us and felt our pain were
00:16:13the journalists of Quneitra. They are the ones who
00:16:17call us and come to interview us to
00:16:20see our pain and convey our voice. There is no journalist
00:16:23or media person who hasn't come to us.
00:16:27journalists and media people hasn't come to us to see our pain. My
00:16:30children are underage. How old are they?
00:16:33They are 17 years old. They were working in construction.
00:16:37They have no job, no salary, no supporter other than
00:16:40God and me, their mother, who is providing
00:16:43everything for my children. And until now, I haven't seen anything from
00:16:47I don't want anything. I haven't seen anything from anyone
00:16:51for these orphans, and their father is considered a martyr.
00:16:54We haven't seen anything. And since my children left, I thank
00:16:58lawyer Ahmed Al-Mousa. Since my children
00:17:01left, I haven't left any party that I haven't contacted. Lawyer
00:17:04Ahmed Al-Mousa in Germany. Since
00:17:07my children left, I called him and told him, "Consider them your children and demand for them."
00:17:11I beg all countries, His Excellency President Ahmed
00:17:15Al-Shara, my children are orphans. My children sent me
00:17:19a message from inside with one of the people. The person
00:17:22came out and said, "Please, mother, go to His Excellency President
00:17:26Ahmed Al-Shara and ask him to consider us his children and demand for us."
00:17:29Mother, can you imagine, doctor,
00:17:32what 17-year-olds have done? Until now, I don't know anything
00:17:36about them. This is in any, I mean, since
00:17:39the liberation, we haven't seen a day of peace. Since
00:17:43the liberation, incursions, arrests. We can't
00:17:46keep enduring. And until now, they took my children. I
00:17:50could have taken the rest and left, but I'm staying
00:17:53and enduring, and I'm waiting for my children. I'm
00:17:57waiting every day with bated breath for them to tell me that Muhammad and Mahmoud
00:18:00have been released. After 49, 39
00:18:03detainees inside. Most of them are minors. What
00:18:06have they done? We want all of them. Mothers'
00:18:10hearts are bleeding. Why? What is the reason?
00:18:13Children. What have they done? We have a president, we have a state
00:18:17that judges, not the occupation that judges our children. We
00:18:20hope from you, for God's sake, that
00:18:24you will return our children to us, and no one from the state
00:18:27called us and asked us about our pain. We
00:18:31went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times, and they wouldn't let us in,
00:18:34and anyone who came out stayed. We were sitting
00:18:38outside in the street. We are in pain. We want
00:18:41our children. I want my children. My children were working
00:18:45in construction when they were taken so that
00:18:48they could provide for themselves and not be broken by any
00:18:50human being.
00:18:53Thank you. Please, the sister next to her. The sister
00:18:59The sister, the sister behind.
00:19:02The sister in the niqab had raised her hand
00:19:03and then stopped.
00:19:08May God reward you. I want to talk about her. She is Shadi's mother.
00:19:11She doesn't feel like talking to you or asking
00:19:14for her son, and no one in the state stood
00:19:17with us. Our state is above us and on our heads. I myself
00:19:21was arrested by the regime. My son is a martyr in Al-Sakhoor. He was taken
00:19:25to Sednaya. We sacrificed and we are not sad. But
00:19:28the occupation came. Bashar came. The occupation came to take
00:19:32our children. So where is the state from us? Where are human
00:19:35rights? Where are the people? Where is the world? We want our children.
00:19:38We don't want land, we don't want livelihood, we don't want money. We will live on dust.
00:19:42We will live in hunger, but we want our children. We ask you by
00:19:46Almighty God, we ask you by Almighty God, we ask you by Almighty God, every
00:19:49official and every one with a living conscience, wherever they can convey our voice,
00:19:53to convey it and bring us our children from the occupation. They are 17 years
00:19:56old. They didn't carry a rifle with
00:20:00the occupation. What did they do? These children should be in schools,
00:20:03growing up behind bars with the occupation, not growing up
00:20:06in their mother's arms. Where should they be? Any human being, imagine
00:20:10their son, God forbid, with the occupation. What is your position,
00:20:14all of you who are present, all the people of Syria, all the countries of the world,
00:20:17and the Arabs? A small condition, the occupation. There is no strong country
00:20:21to stop the occupation from us, the violations against Syria and the people of Syria and the land of Syria. May God
00:20:25reward you. May God bless you.
00:20:27Excuse me. Of course, excuse me. I'll tell
00:20:31you everything. When the occupation came and took my children from the house, my younger
00:20:35son had an accident. He was brain damaged. So they threatened
00:20:41one who is dying." So my children, out of fear for their younger brother,
00:20:44told us that they would go with them, but to leave their brother.
00:20:47And until now, my children don't know if their brother is well
00:20:51or alive. When someone comes out, they ask me if they want to check on
00:20:54their brother, whether he is dead or well. I told them,
00:20:58"I wish someone would tell them that their brother is fine, thank
00:21:01God." May God free them and return them to you
00:21:06all the wounded. Please, professor.
00:21:10Peace be upon you all. I am Mahmoud
00:21:13Al-Shabani, from the people of Quneitra governorate, from Quneitra, Khan Arnabah.
00:21:16A former detainee, a former prisoner of the Zionist enemy.
00:21:23I would like to address a word to
00:21:26our esteemed government and the officials
00:21:29in the governorate. First, the attention
00:21:32should be, I mean, noticeably, at least, something
00:21:36tangible for the children
00:21:38of the
00:21:41detainees who are in the occupation prisons,
00:21:44whom I salute from this platform. What kind of
00:21:47support could it be?
00:21:51The issue is not about financial support at all
00:21:54in this matter. We are talking about moral
00:21:58support for the families
00:22:00of the detainees who are in Israeli
00:22:05raises the morale of the people.
00:22:08They know that there is a state, there are institutions asking
00:22:11and seeking after them. Here, the
00:22:14disappearance of the detainees who
00:22:18are inside without news. When we were in detention,
00:22:22at least the Red Cross would send us, come to us for a visit, send
00:22:26a message, take a message, deliver a message to us in this regard.
00:22:30Here now, our detained children who are currently in the prisons
00:22:33of the Israeli occupation, there
00:22:36is no communication, no messages, no nothing. I mean, this is what
00:22:40our government or the state
00:22:44should, I mean, pressure the Red Cross on this issue. The Red Cross should make
00:22:47visits to them. That's how we used to
00:22:51what I'm talking about. I was detained from 1986 to 1994.
00:22:54You were in the occupation prisons in 1994? Yes.
00:22:57Okay, so we just want, I mean, communication through
00:23:01the Red Cross, that we ask
00:23:05all due respect to them, and all respect and greetings to the Governor
00:23:08and the ministers, to communicate with the Red Cross, for example,
00:23:11to allow communication, even
00:23:14messages at least, so that their families can
00:23:18be reassured about them. Thank you.
00:23:20I will return, I will return to everyone. Let's just take a break,
00:23:24catch our breath, and we'll be back. Stay with us.
