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

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..

Top Druze leader issues an important statement on Sweida. He says his guesthouse was burned & his father’s grave desecrated by Israel-backed Sheikh Hikmat Hajri thugs for rejecting violence & foreign agendas. Accuses them of lies, disinfo, betrayal & pushing sectarian deals.

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.
