RT @AlMajallaEN: #Assad's fall means #Iran loses its contiguous land corridor. Without it, 'Axis of Resistance' forces will find it difficult to work together.

RT @QUSAY_NOOR_: #Syrians returned to hiking and sitting in the Qasioun Mountains after a 14-year absence.
The #Assad regime prevented these people from going up to the mountains because they were military points and places where rocket launchers were stationed, and also from there the rockets loaded with Chemical gases were launched, which killed more than 1,500 people in my city in Eastern Ghouta in 2013.

🚨 #Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani:

📌 We intend to privatize state ports and factories.

📌 We plan to invite foreign investment and enhance international trade as part of economic reforms.

📌We do not want to live on aid; the solution is easing U.S. and #EU sanctions.

📌Our new government does not plan to export the revolution or interfere in other countries' affairs.

📌The presence of #Syrian Democratic Forces is no longer justified in the country.

📌We have pledged to guarantee #Kurdish rights in the new constitution and their representation in the new government.

📌We face challenges, including $30 billion in debts to #Assad’s allies, #Iran and #Russia. - Qusay Noor

Excellent work

NEW - interim gov’t forces in #Daraa just captured the alleged #ISIS emir of eastern #Syria, Atta al-Shami, as he arrived to plan an #ISIS revival in southern #Syria.

He’d been working with a local operative, Mohsen al-Hamid - a long-time #Assad intel asset. https://t.co/NRAwYHz7eC - Charles Lister

RT @Charles_Lister: NEW -- I'm told this raid targeted a "command center" for the pro-#Assad resistance. The GSS seized comms equipment, plans, maps & a large amount of cash.

Comms were then intercepted with an "Abu George" in #Raqqa, who appeared to be coordinating things.

NEW -- one group of ~20 pro-#Assad loyalist gunmen have just been killed/injured/captured during a targeted GSS raid on a farm outside #Jableh in #Latakia.

Former Air Force Intel chief Ibrahim Huwayja captured nearby. - Charles Lister

RT @Charles_Lister: Note -- most of #Latakia remains without electricity & running water ~30hrs after pro-#Assad gunmen sabotaged critical infrastructure while withdrawing from frontlines.

One electricity repair team was targeted by a loyalist sniper this morning.

RT @ThomasVLinge: #Syria: Israeli warplanes are bombarding the town of Izra in the #Daraa province following the agreement between the interim government and the #SDF.

Ever since the fall of #Assad, Israel has been trying to undermine, destabilize and possibly partition the country. https://t.co/8UEj8uB6VL

RT @Mpolymer: There must be a hell of a backstory on this, as I assumed his ntl security team particularly those in the NSC was against such moves. Also-Israelis are not gonna be very happy. My take as someone who worked on Syria for many years-though of course not lately-this the right move.

An extraordinary, genuinely game-changing development for #Syria, 6 months after #Assad's fall.

#Trump also confirmed @SecRubio will meet with #Syria Foreign Minister @AsaadHShaibani (& #Trump himself will meet Ahmed al-Sharaa) tomorrow. - Charles Lister

RT @Charles_Lister: NEW — the EU has agreed to lift *all* sanctions on #Syria, following on from #Trump’s announcement of US sanctions ending.

Per @AFP.

(Sanctions on #Assad-linked entities remain, of course)

RT @Charles_Lister: #Israel *never* did this throughout the 13yrs when #Assad’s regime killed 500,000 people using bullets, bombs, chemical weapons & more.

That speaks volumes.

NEW - footage shows #Israel’s strike just now at the entrance door to #Syria’s Defense Ministry, caught on live TV.

RT @Charles_Lister: To be clear -- the #Druze militias opposed to a deal with #Damascus have:

- Deep ties to (& took in elements from) #Assad's regime
- Clear linkages to the #captagon & drugs trade
- Ties with #Israel

That's a triumvirate that #Syria's gov't was never going to leave unchallenged.

To be very clear:

#Israel claims to be striking #Syria in order to defend a minority, but in so doing, they are putting that minority in a far tighter **and dangerous** corner than they were in beforehand.

There's no strategy at play here -- desperately short-sighted. - Charles Lister

RT @Charles_Lister: #Israel's intervention in #Suwayda has completely backfired, with #Jerusalem now signaling it wants #Syria's gov't to go back in to restore order amid huge tribal mobilization.

#Israel's approach to post-#Assad #Syria has never been strategic & the last week shows that palpably.

RT @Mpolymer: Correct

And let's just make something very clear here -- #Israel isn't acting to "protect the #Druze."

It's intervening to defend **one** component of #Syria's #Druze community -- which just so happens to have roots in #Assad's regime, organized crime & years of quiet ties to #Israel. - Charles Lister
