“To conclude, the situation in Syria brings with it a black cloud and the black flag of ISIS. [..]. To peddle a defeatist line is reactionary and allows the Zionists to gloat and drive harder toward manufacturing sectarian hatred.“

"In the immediate wake of the Syrian government’s abrupt collapse, much remains uncertain about the country’s future – including whether it can survive as a unitary state or will splinter into smaller states as did #Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, a move that ultimately led to a bloody #NATO intervention. Moreover, who or what may take power in #Damascus remains an open question."

I mean, yes, there is right now an awful lot of secret & open #negotiations going on with all kinds of (international) actors.

But I can not imagine much momentum between Israel & #HTS at this specific point.

HTS Jolani Declares a Total Halt on Conflict With Zionist Colonialism

In an exclusive interview with The Times on Monday, Syria’s new counter-revolutionary leader Mohammed al-Jolani, now preferring to go by his birth name Ahmed al-Sharaa, pledged that he would not allow the country to be used as a launchpad for attacks “against ‘Israel’ or any other state,” in a new step of collusion with colonialism in the region.

Al-Sharaa called on the Zionist regime to halt its airstrikes and withdraw from Syrian territory it occupied following Assad’s departure.

“‘Israels’ justification was the presence of Hezbollah and Iranian militias, so that justification is gone,” he said. “We are committed to the 1974 agreement and we are prepared to return the UN [monitors].”

He added, “We do not want any conflict whether with ‘Israel’ or anyone else and we will not let Syria be used as a launchpad for attacks. The Syrian people need a break, and the strikes must end and Israel has to pull back to its previous positions.”

Calls to Lift Sanctions

Sharaa urged the West to lift sanctions imposed during Assad’s tenure, arguing that these restrictions hinder Syria’s recovery and were no longer justified.

“Countries must now lift this designation. Syria is very important geostrategically. They should lift all restrictions, which were imposed on the flogger and the victim — the flogger is gone now. This issue is not up for negotiation.”

HTS, which is an offshoot of al-Qaeda in Syria, remains designated as a terrorist organization by the US, UK, and other countries. Sharaa, himself, was once a member of ISIS and al-Qaeda. According to The Times, Al-Sharaa dismissed the designation, stating, “We did military activities,” but called the label “a political designation” that was more applicable to the Assad government.

Al-Sharaa currently has a $10 million bounty on his head from the US, but he said he did not care about his personal designation.

On Sunday, many Christians across Syria attended mass for the first time since the fall of Bashar al-Assad. In Aleppo, only 10% of the city's pre-war Christian population is thought to remain. Since capturing the city, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has reached out twice to representatives of minority groups to insist they'll be protected. But as FRANCE 24's team on the ground found out, some members of the Christian community aren't convinced.

Ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad says he had no plans to leave the country after the fall of #Damascus a week ago but the Russian military evacuated him after their base in western Syria came under attack. The comments are the first by Assad since he was overthrown by insurgent groups. FRANCE 24's Clemence Waller reports

For those serving Assad's regime, and for his religious community, the fall of the dictator has been a shock that puts them in a difficult and dangerous posture. They fear retribution from all those who were oppressed during his rule. Our reporters managed to enter the compound were officers of the infamous 4th division of the regime's army had their staff quarters. A complex where families await their fate in fear, guarded by #HTS fighters.

«Certain jihadist groups, affiliated with the Turkish occupation and entities like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (#HTS), orchestrated and supported by international powers, entered Damascus unchallenged. The 61-year-old Ba’ath regime collapsed within a mere 12 days (...). The apparent victory of the jihadists, as they advance towards Damascus, is likely to be short-lived. The new #Syria that emerges from this ideology risks becoming another Afghanistan. Syria, throughout history, has been a home to diverse ethnic and religious communities.

Gli #USA - che gli avevano messo una taglia sulla sua testa - ora dialogano con lui perché ha fatto cadere #Assad, alleato della #Russia. HTS è erede della colonna siriana di #AlQaida, l'organizzazione terroristica che ha colpito le Torri Gemelle negli Stati Uniti.

Manbij Ceasefire Goes Into Effect, Counter-Revolution Threatens Rojava

A four-day ceasefire was announced yesterday in Manbij and its countryside between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Turkish-backed “Syrian National Army,” following three days of intense clashes. The truce, reportedly aimed at facilitating political solutions and prisoner exchanges, was confirmed by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army faction, which stated that the agreement seeks to “implement humanitarian and security understandings, including the withdrawal of SDF members and their families from the region.” However, skirmishes continued near Tishreen Dam in northeastern Aleppo, sending a clear Turkish message that the agreement applies only to Manbij, signaling its intent to maintain operations until it secures control over the entire border with Syria.

Meanwhile, the SDF and the Autonomous Administration expressed their readiness for dialogue and to initiate a political transition in the country. SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi reiterated the organization’s willingness to facilitate the return of the tomb of Suleiman Shah to Ain al-Arab. Additionally, the Autonomous Administration announced the adoption of Syria’s new flag across its institutions, reaffirming the region’s integral connection to Syria’s territorial unity. The adoption of this flag after the counter-revolutionary offensive signals increased problems for the Rojava experiment.

According to Al-Akhbar, their sources revealed that a delegation comprising SDF leaders, tribal representatives, and local officials from Al-Hasakah will visit Damascus to discuss the future of northeastern Syria. The delegation plans to advocate for the preservation of the Autonomous Administration as a model for Syria’s administrative and military framework. Meanwhile, US and French diplomats are reportedly mediating talks between Turkey and the SDF to address security concerns, including the management of ISIS prisons and camps in SDF-controlled areas. Turkey, however, is expected to demand that the SDF dissolve itself, sever ties with the PKK, and expel PKK members from Syria in exchange for political representation in the new government.

Internally, the SDF faces mounting challenges threatening its military structure. Protests erupted in several cities in Deir Ezzor, Aleppo, and Al-Hasakah, demanding a transfer of control to the Military Operations Administration. Several high-ranking members of the SDF’s Deir Ezzor Military Council have defected, including its leader, Abu Laith Khasham, who joined the Military Operations Administration, in affiliation with HTS. This marks the fifth defection within the council. Amid these tensions, the SDF’s security arm imposed a curfew across northeastern Syria, citing the need to safeguard public safety.

Furthermore, reports state that a draft of terms was sent to the SDF from the HTS regime. The new state demands that the Syrian government be recognized as the sole authority, that Arab areas are handed over to the military, that PKK cadres are expelled from the country (meaning the dissolution of the YPG and allied revolutionary forces), Arab prisoners are released, border crossings would now be administered by the counter-revolutionary state, and foreign ISIS prisoners be released to the new state.
