Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa with a cryptic message: “The important thing is to reach your goal at the end of the road. A double goal costs less and leaves a greater impact. Some may think you’ve strayed from your path. But in the end, you still hit your target.”

Yes. Arabs do the same, though. Unfortunately for them, these types are still despised by the radicals still. Two good examples here, a Syrian Arab and a Kurd.

Siri, define “backfired”.. Protests & violence in #Israel after Druze Israelis accused their government of betraying their brethren in #Syria. After Druze Syrians struck a deal with Damascus. Now the Druze leader there appears next to a Knesset member to call for calm!

A Saudi religious cleric: “Greeting Christians with Merry Christmas is not an issue in sharia.” A young kid who probably never read the Quran: “Happy holiday* next to Islam’s holiest mosque? Bidaa!” [Not even “Merry Christmas”. Two layers of confusion]

I haven’t seen such relentless interrogation of Palestinian leadership before, esp. in Arabic. On Saudi Arabia’s main TV channel, Hamas leader is clearly startled by the intensity of the questions & responses to his answers. Crucial points in next tweets

In this video, Ahmad al-Sharaa switches to colloquial Syrian dialect to ridicule Iranian-backed militias coming to Syria to take revenge for the killing of individuals 14 centuries ago. “What’s this got to do with us today?” Jumblat nods in key moments

Quite interesting that in Russia the Syrian embassy is raising the new flag of Syria. This swift and seamless change of embassy hands in Moscow is a bit surprising. No change of personnel even. HTS reached out to Russia and said it has no quarrels with it. Western countries..

Erbil-based Shams TV explains why they held off on airing their exclusive interview with Syrian President أحمد الشرع: The journalist explains that the pre-interview understanding from the channel was for the segment to serve as a way to calm the waters with regards to the Damascus-Kurdish conflict in Syria. He said the general vibe in Erbil is against the interview, and the Syrian president was savvy in his answers and emphasized he had no quarrel with the Kurdish people. Yet, the journalist says he was surprised that the president started off taking a hard line against the SDF. He says he tried to nudge him through questions toward a conciliatory tone, but he kept escalating. 'He had enough of General Mazloum and the SDF, and he would not give them another chance, only to adhere to the March agreement.' It was a final warning. He said he'd never accept to have a militia in the country, insisting on only one country and one army. The journalist said the interview was supposed to be 30 minutes but ran to 53. Afterwards, he said, he checked with his colleagues, and the consensus was that the interview would inflame things rather than calm the waters, so they decided to hold it until further notice.
