While Addressing AF reporter at the press conference, #Syrian Foreign Minister Al-Sheibani stressed the fact that no Syrian forces will be deployed to Yemen and that this won’t happen, at least in the short term. He emphasized that Syria's primary focus is on rebuilding and developing the country while drawing on Saudi Arabia’s military expertise to support Syria. Furthermore, Al-Sheibani declared that no 10,000 Syrian fighters have been sent abroad to either Yemen or Saudi Arabia, contrary to claims in an AP report. He added that Syria would not conceal such a move if it were to happen, as an effort of that scale would be announced nationwide and defending Saudi Arabia would be considered a point of honour not something to hide from. #Syria
Abdul showed up and basically said “meet Shawarma law and Habibi” and America responded with open arms (and open appetites). How beautiful is that?
“Habibi” has officially made its way into the heart of American culture, all thanks to Abdul! @AbdulElSayed

#NEW -- A Syrian diplomatic source told SANA:
"Reports of sending Syrian military forces to Yemen at this time are unfounded, as Syria’s priorities in the coming period focus on consolidating internal security, reconstruction, and economic recovery."

مصدر دبلوماسي سوري لـ سانا:
▪ تندرج الاتفاقيات العسكرية الحالية مع الأشقاء في المملكة العربية السعودية ضمن إطار التعاون في مجالات التدريب وتبادل الخبرات والاستشارات العسكرية، بما يخدم المصالح الوطنية للبلدين.
▪ يتركز الاتفاق مع المملكة العربية السعودية على تدريب القوات العسكرية وبناء قدراتها، حيث ستبدأ الزيارات التنسيقية من السعودية إلى سوريا الشهر المقبل.
▪ من الممكن أن يتطور هذا التعاون مستقبلاً إلى اتفاقية دفاع مشترك أو انضمام سوريا إلى حلف مكة، وفق ما تقتضيه المصالح المشتركة.
▪ الحديث عن إرسال قوات عسكرية سوريّة إلى اليمن في الوقت الراهن لا أساس له من الصحة، إذ تتركز أولويات سوريا في المرحلة المقبلة على ترسيخ الأمن الداخلي وإعادة الإعمار، وتحقيق التعافي الاقتصادي.

Unpopular opinion: After 14 years of war and all the destruction that came with it, #Syria needs investment and real money flowing in more than anything else right now. Yes, we need skilled Syrians from abroad to come back and help, but experience alone isn’t enough.
The country’s been hit hard. Roads, factories, power, hospitals… so much is damaged or just not working. Capital is what lets you actually rebuild these things fast, get businesses running again, create jobs, and start generating some real #economic momentum.
Without that money, even the smartest people end up stuck waiting.
You can’t steer a damaged ship into a storm before repairing it. While strategy and expertise guide the navigation, you still need raw materials to fix the hull. Right now, capital is that single critical resource #Syria needs to accelerate its recovery.
Hopefully, this won't be the start or continuation of abducting underage girls by SDF to recruit them into the YPJ's Task Forces battalions.
.@YPJspox Ruksen Mohamed confirms that Syria's Ministry of the Interior approved the formation of two YPJ battalions within the Special Task Forces (400 female fighters).
One battalion will be based in Aleppo Governorate and stationed in Kobani and Afrin. The second battalion will be stationed in Hasakah Governorate

Many people lack a grasp of politics. However, he provided an answer that adheres to the laws and constitution of America. Only astute people comprehend the reason behind the reporter’s question. America is distinct from the Middle East. He should prioritize the laws and legislation of America rather than those of the Middle East. Therefore, refrain from attacking him if you fail to comprehend the message he advocates for the people who elected him.
16 hand-carved pieces for a single phone case: The Damascus shopkeeper who knew President Sharaa before the world did, he tells the full story:
"The President, back in 2001-2002 when he first started university, used to work. He liked to work. He would come by to pick up leather pieces.
I would hand them to him piece by piece (leather). He’d strip them down at his place and craft them by hand, cutting out the best sections for phone cases so they wouldn't tear and could be re covered easily.
He crafted high quality cell phone cases with remarkable attention to detail. He’d sew custom leather skins for your phone and sell them. We kept doing business together for a long time, just the two of us.
What amazed me was that while a standard phone case on the market was just two or three pieces, like a front, a back, and sides, he wouldn't do it like everyone else. He would assemble sixteen separate pieces, painstakingly crafting details from one edge to the other, framing the camera and everything, just to make it distinctive. Why? So no one would copy it, it was a lot of work.
Ever since he became the President I recognised him immediately. Later I told him This is still our shop; this has been, like, 30, 40 years we’ve been working on these stuff (leather and textile)."

That goes under equal rights to women in comparison to men. I think many Arab countries have the same law where the mother can’t grant the citizenship to her children. There shouldn’t be any restrictions in that regard.
I find the reaction of many Syrians opposing this law to be very exaggerated. I have an aunt and a cousin who are married to Turks, and I think it would be a good thing for their children to be able to retain their Syrian nationality.
Obviously, people will bring up extreme examples to portray this as a horrible decision, but that's precisely why conditions and safeguards should be put in place.

Frankly, Syria’s top universities (Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, and others) teach in Arabic, and the vast majority of the population speaks Arabic. As a result, students who never learn Arabic will face severely limited career prospects in the future.
“The General Intelligence Directorate, in cooperation with the Internal Security Forces, thwarts a terrorist plot by a cell affiliated with the Hezbollah militia that was targeting the Homs refinery.”
Hezbollah and IRGC affiliated militias are desperate to target Syria’s stability. Dismantling Hezbollah in Lebanon could possibly bring significant peace to both #Syria and Lebanon.

In Old Damascus, President Sharaa checked in on a textile shop owner he used to buy from back in 2001–2002.
He mentioned stopping by around 2 a.m. recently and finding the shop closed. The owner smiled and said a call would have brought him out immediately.
The brief exchange showed how familiar the place still feels to Sharaa and how he still treats the shops and neighbourhoods he once knew as a place worth returning to, shop by shop, memory by memory.

Residents of southern Syria have been kindly advised by the neighboring rogue state’s highly moral forces that spontaneous carpools of four or more (on the Syrian soil🇸🇾) will be answered with the full moral force of Israeli munitions. Sarcastic..
“A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.”
The world has enough problems already I guess.
Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.
Jordan hosting Syrian news the way it hosts Syrian refugees: collect the attention (and the checks 😭), complain about the burden 🤷🏻♂️, then act shocked when people notice the house was already on life support. The content farm never closes.
