Clash Report in Syria: We visited Aleppo’s Latin Cathedral and spoke with Fr. Bahjat Karakach.
After years of hardship, he shares hope for the future under new Syrian authorities:
We have now more freedom. We now can say what we want. And especially, we have hope. We were living in inhumane conditions. It was very difficult. I have hope.
Syrians are ready to turn the page and begin a new era.
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨Bashar al-Assad has £55m fund in a London HSBC bank account.
🔴Ministers facing calls to seize £163m of assets that Assad, his family and associates have stashed in the UK and use them to help rebuild Syria.

#Syria
🇶🇦🇹🇷🇮🇷 A former notorious member of the #IRGC & ex-advisor to #Iran’s nuclear negotiating team, #Marandi, has issued threats to destroy #Qatar's energy facilities and wipeout the #Arab_Gulf Emirate if #Trump decides to bomb #Iran's #nuclear sites.
Additionally, he is inciting hostility towards #Türkiye, its people, and President #Erdoğan, following the successful efforts of the #Syrian people to overthrow #Iran's ally, the brutal #Assad regime.
It is noteworthy that he is a frequent guest on @AJEnglish /@AJArabic . It would be great to host him now and ask him about his statement.
Water Resources: The region is crucial for Israel's water supply, contributing significantly to the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River. Control over these resources is vital in an arid region, making the Golan indispensable for Israel's sustainability
I believe Israel will maintain control over the Golan Heights for several compelling reasons.
National Security: The Golan Heights provide Israel with a strategic vantage point to monitor military movements from Syria.
Settlement Expansion: Israel has been actively increasing its Jewish settler population in the Golan, with plans to double it in the coming years. This demographic shift strengthens Israel's claim to the territory and integrates it further into Israeli society
"Cette tragédie syrienne sera devant l'histoire, une honte pour la communauté internationale si nous n'y mettons pas fin rapidement". François Hollande, 20.09.2016 @fhollande
Vous aviez raison Mr, depuis l'ONU n'est plus rien, plus aucune crédibilité, plus personne n'y croit.
Bon rappel que pendant que Poutine armait la Syrie, François Hollande @fh_var préparait une intervention militaire pour stopper les massacres de Bachar Al Assad sur sa population.

@MickaelLaffont Vous êtes pathétique je trouve, un peu d'humanité, non? Ne vous inquiétez pas, le peuple européen ne mérite pas les syriens de toute façon. Ils vont retourner chez eux avec plaisir, une fois la possibilité donnée.
Look at the face of this Christian scholar. With the end of the Bashar regime, it is the beginning of a new era, a rapprochement that is certainly difficult but good and beneficial between Muslims and Christians throughout the world.
@BabakTaghvaee1 Turkey has been fighting ISIS since the beginning and will continue its effort until the extermination of ISIS. ISIS is probably a creation of Israel and everyone knows it throughout the world, the people of the world understand what is happening, do not worry.
@BabakTaghvaee1 You breathe hatred and mix everything, you do not have the mind to distinguish, understand and analyze because you are overwhelmed by blind hatred, you are probably jealous because Turkey is loved and respected throughout the world.
Disconcerting how people online seem to almost *want* there to be cascading sectarian violence in Syria but anyone I speak to on the ground, reading/listening to Syrians themselves- vast majority don't think this way.
Some to treat this like even more of a game than before.
1000% optimistic for several reasons:
1. HTS learnt some hard lessons while governing a quasi-state in Idlib. It now knows Syrians won’t put up with anything that smacks of authoritarian rule, having survived a five decade long dictatorship.
2. Refugees are returning with money to invest.
3. Arab states will be keen to invest and build Syrian economy.
Syrian Revolution has not only liberated Syria from a genocidal tyrant but also instilled a level of fear within Israel and its Arab Gulf allies not seen since the Arab Spring.
While Assad's government has long positioned itself as a 'resistance' leader in the Arab world, 'classified' documents expose that the regime was sharing intelligence with Israel and even facilitating military operations against Iranian militias

It's so funny how these people didn't say anything about Assad not doing anything against Israel's military actions, and are now expecting the rebels to somehow start a war with Israel when they haven't even finished setting up a government in a failed state destroyed by war.
