@StarkJabal @OmertaCod3 ليش حرمانا والسويداء مسجلة على اسمكم؟

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@SyrianShabab True. You don’t have to copy models from the US or the UK. There are better party systems and have better performance. To reduce sectarianism and political conflict, it is better to establish multi-party system and a threshold of, for example, 5%.

[Veronica @verobellin]

What is this obsession with dismissing political pluralism and diversity? Let's remember that one of the most important laws that needs to be enacted by the PA is a new Parties law, which should finally grant Syrians the freedom of political participation within parties

@thoughtflblonde I hope they can now do their work without interference of any power. This body is really important in protecting the constitution.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@ReemRifai_ It came to me as shocking news when I heard it. I didn’t expect ISIS would do such thing, because I don’t think they have any motivate or reason behind these attacks.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@GregoryPWaters Not true, in Belgium for example, cafes sell alcohol. For me, everyone should have a choice to do things he/she wants to do.

You want to sell alcohol? No problem, but you need to get a license. If not, then you can’t sell it.

This law does not allow you to make this choice.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

With all due respect Mr. Frantzman, I think good relations emerge when both don’t threaten each other.

In this case, I wouldn’t jump too fast into the subject good relationship.

First, Israel must give back all the Syrian territories.

Then we can talk about good relationship

[Seth Frantzman @sfrantzman]

There’s no reason Syria and Israel shouldn’t have good relations.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@HishamKakhya @LizHurra Then instead of banning alcohol, let the cafeterias submit an application for a license. And if they don’t, then they will face judicial consequences.

#Trump & others around him think they've done the U.S. football team a favor by pressuring @FIFAcom into reversing a red card on #Balogun.

They've done the opposite.

Whatever the US team does next will be [justifiably] shrouded by a global cloud of political corruption.

If Netanyahu, presumably, claims that 80% of Iranians hates this regime, then why hasn’t the regime collapsed yet?

One reason: foreign powers decide to attack Iran. What would be the reaction of this 80%?

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Netanyahu:

Iran is a nation of about 90 million. About 80% of them hate this regime.

But you still have quite a few million that they can bring to the streets.

And they are screaming, "Death to Trump" and "Death to me," of course.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@azelin This is high level of corruption.

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

This came after US President #Trump called @FIFAcom President Gianni Infantino to call for a reversal.

What a stunning display of political corruption into sport, which should be free of such influence.

For the record: this step has occurred only once in world football history.

@ReemRifai_ الله يرحموا 😢😢

I spoke to @arabnews about President Ahmad Al-Sharaa’s final appointments to Syria’s new parliament and what they suggest about the country’s transition.

https://t.co/pvOaiFZ5y1

The 70 appointees point to a chamber broader than many expected, with women, minorities, conservatives, liberals, technocrats, and other nonparty figures represented.

As I told Arab News, “there does not seem to be an overwhelming presence of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham hardliners or explicitly pro-HTS figures,” which gives the parliament “a degree of domestic and international acceptability.”

Still, the key question is not only who sits in parliament, but what role the chamber will actually play.

In the short term, I expect it to function more as a consultative and ratifying body than as a legislature capable of seriously challenging the executive.

This may help Syria move quickly from decrees to laws, but over time the real test will be whether parliament can develop into a space for meaningful debate, oversight, and representation.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@ReemRifai_ I would be careful about installing surveillance cameras. The Parliament must make a law preventing abuse of those cameras and privacy violations.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@ThomasVLinge Wanneer België? 🇧🇪

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@azelin Why trash ref? The penalty was justified.

[Jack Moussa @Jmoussa98]

@chitowngirl1982 @sfrantzman And 3% is big in your eyes? 97% is small?

This is not reasonable. Even a sane person would not accept this kind of representation.

@DianaOmarr @aliamansour اعتقد لها علاقة في قانون الانتخابات المحلية. مجلس الشعب وظيفته صناعة هذا القانون. من هذا السبب لا توجد انتخابات محلية.
