"without a political solution that comes to terms with the social embeddedness of the groups, the axis will likely draw again on local sources of influence" Great analysis of the resilience of the Axis of Resistance, by @renadmansour foreignaffairs.com/israel/axis-re…
Alarmingly, pro-Government forces in Idlib have increased land and aerial attacks, killing and injuring at least 120 civilians in the past few weeks and displacing hundreds of families. @UNCoISyria press release:⤵️ ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
#Syria is NOT safe for returns. The only reason why some Syrians have crossed back into #Syria is because #Lebanon has become even less safe for them. @HRW has documented multiple cases of repression, persecution, detention & death of returnees 👇👇 hrw.org/news/2024/10/3…
.@reliefweb: The Syrian Network for Human Rights (#SNHR) today, Tuesday, October 29, 2024, released its latest report on Syrian refugees returning from #Lebanon to #Syria. reliefweb.int/report/syrian-…
! Lafarge & former executives to stand trial for financing terrorism in Syria. But a long way to justice for the former employees plaintiffs in the case filed by @Sherpa & @ECCHR in 2016:charges on complicity in crimes against humanity are still pending. tinyurl.com/3f3484rc
-/- 2• •#Saudi/#Iranian intense contacts last 2 days (visits/meetings in Riyadh & Teheran); Riyadh confirmed #Israeli intentions on behalf of #US party; & conveyed assurance of Saudi neutrality in this operation, to avoid any retaliation or subsequent escalation in the #Gulf.
Soirée de soutien aux journalistes du Liban, pour la survie de la vérité, à l’Institut du Monde Arabe - Paris, jeudi 17 octobre 2024. Plus de 130 journalistes ont perdu leur toit. @SK_Eyes s’engage pour eux. En mémoire de #SamirKassir et @gizou10 et par engagement pour la liberté
“The Middle East finds itself in a dangerous moment. Old conventions governing escalation have been cast aside; new actors have emerged, and all are jockeying for dominance. As a result, the margins for preventing all-out war are narrower than ever.” foreignaffairs.com/israel/yacoubi…
About 90,000 Syrian refugees have crossed from #Lebanon to #Syria between 24 and 30 Sept, UNHCR reports. - This is NOT return. Syrians flee bombing in Lebanon. - 60% of those who crossed are children. - Initial individual reports of arrests and detention.
In the U.S. and Europe, some are buying into the idea that that #Israel's calculated use of force (such as targeted assassination, "limited invasions" "limited responses") can deliver *regional order* in a way that diplomacy couldn't. @BHL A THREAD🧵 x.com/BHL/status/184…
No, @antonioguterres What should be condemned is not “escalation” but “#Iran”. By failing to say that, the #UN (and you) prove, once again, to be blind, deaf, useless, shameful and devoid of any moral sense. #Israel has to win.

#Syrie Reconstruction au compte-gouttes, délitement économique et social, millions de déplacés… A Alep, Homs, Palmyre comme dans la banlieue de Damas, pour la population de ces territoires sous contrôle du régime Assad, la vie quotidienne est un calvaire. lemonde.fr/international/…
Egyptian president Sisi will be in Turkey tomorrow to seal mended ties. The visit comes against this background: 1. Erdogan abandoned the pro-Islamist foreign policy he pursued after Arab uprisings once he realized it was not political Islam that was going to give (1/8)
In my latest analysis, I delve into the shifting dynamics within the #Baath Party under #Bashar_AlAssad’s leadership. As part of his efforts to re-engineer power centers within the party, the elections held during the General Conference in May 2024 increased the number of Central…
Bashar al-Assad formed a bloc within the Ba’ath party, transforming it from a nominal political vessel into a force that enhances his authority and ensures continuity, regardless of the future political landscape. @MuhsenAlmustafa bit.ly/474vR9U
In July 2024, a @UN investigation concluded that discoveries in #Syria suggested "potentially undeclared full-scale development & production of chemical weapons" at 2 sites. Since then, #Assad blocked inspector visas due to "summer holidays." opcw.org/sites/default/…
As more countries move towards normalizing relations with #Damascus, let's remember today the 1,400 Syrian men, women & children who died on 21 Aug. 2013 under a sarin gas attack in Eastern Ghouta. Since, the regime carried more than 300 chemical weapons attacks #Accountability
While Erdogan's invitation has made the headlines, his full statement shows that basics haven't changed: '*if* B. al Assad takes a step towards improving relations with TK' Al Watan, re: possible meeting: 'once TK leaves or offers guarantees for withdrawal from Syrian territory'
While Damascus hasn't responded to Erdogan's positive signals, Al Watan says, "Erdogan knows that the first meeting won't be in Ankara, and the two sides could solve many issues once Turkey leaves or offers guarantees for withdrawal from Syrian territory." alwatanonline.com/%d8%a8%d9%87%d…
#Syria is unfit for safe return of people who fled conflict. But #Iraq authorities arbitrarily detained & deported Syrians to Damascus & other places. #EU should press authorities of all countries in the region to stop unlawful deportation to Syria. hrw.org/news/2024/06/2…
