The United States welcomes the signing of a historic MOU between the Governments of Iraq and Syria on the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Iraq-Syria crude oil pipeline. This priority infrastructure project will advance security and stability through regional interconnectivity and prosperity. U.S. companies will play a key role in advancing construction.

Factually incorrect. Political scientists widely argue that under the Assad regime, Syria had entered into the status of a “partially failed state” due to the regime’s inability to control its territory, its complete dependence on the Russian military, and the breakdown of public services and the economy (that was operating as a narco-economy)
Under the current government, Syria has instead entered the status of a “recovering state,” marked by the establishment of a central authority, renewed international diplomacy, and efforts toward economic stabilization.
The Western left’s continued desire to rehabilitate Assad’s image does not erase the objective realities of what’s happening on the ground.
WOW.
#Syria seized a BIG shipment of #Iran weapons crossing from #Iraq & intended for #Hezbollah in #Lebanon.
100 fiber optic drones
Dozens of anti-tank missiles
Large drone components.

Die neue Deutsche-Syrisch Kommission ist ein wichtiger Schritt. Jetzt müssen konkrete Ergebnisse folgen: Wiederaufbau, Investitionen, Energie, Verkehr und direkte Flüge. Gute Beziehungen zeigen sich nicht in Erklärungen, sondern in funktionierenden Projekten.
I don't want Syrians to get their hopes up, so I hope @omar_alharir corrects his post. I don't know if others are sharing the article this way, but this sentence is not in @BarakRavid article at all. It merely says the call was held last Thursday.
The article gives Netanyahu's response to Trump's request as " 'The Prime Minister, for his part, raised the need for security zones along Israel's borders,' the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said in a statement."
This isn't the 1st time #Trump has made this request & it won't the last either.
Over the past 2 weeks, #Israel's operations in #Syria (especially artillery strikes & arrests) *sharply* declined, in an apparent response to sky-high tensions in late-June (per #SyriaWeekly data).
Grateful to receive a commitment from Undersecretary Kessler of @BISGov today to give Syria a chance by updating and further easing export controls on Syria quickly after the SST is lifted to ensure American companies can export to and invest in Syria.

عامٌ كامل على اختفاء حمزة العمارين من الدفاع المدني السوري بعد دخوله للسويداء في مهمة إنسانية.
عامٌ كامل على الغدر بمن دخل ليقدّم يد العون، فكان مصيره الغدر على يد ميليشيات الهجري.
وعامٌ كامل وبناته ينتظرن عودة الأب .

She was a foreign fighter, not a journalist, who was intercepted at the front by tribal fighters while inside a military headquarters, and she lied about various matters. Tell the whole story.
#Syria is a land of contrasts.
Today, at the inaugural session of the People's Assembly:
- an actress.
- a Kurdish MP.
- and the wife of Abu Omar Saraqeb, a Rebel mastermind behind the battle to break the siege of Aleppo - and killed in a US airstrike (2016).
Syria rarely fits into a single picture.
