Hundreds of Syrian return home voluntarily from Jordan
Residents of the Syrian city of Homs welcomed a convoy of families returning voluntarily from Jordan after displacement during the Syrian uprising.
The return was organized by the humanitarian group Waqf Farah in coordination with the Homs Governorate.
Yahiya Rifai, a representative of the organization, told Syria's official news agency SANA that the convoy is the second to depart Jordan's Azraq camp voluntarily as part of ongoing efforts to support stability and the return of displaced families to their hometowns and villages.
Rifai said the arrangements followed a visit by Waqf Farah's founder, Dr. Mohammad Rahif Hakmi, to Azraq camp, where coordination took place with relevant authorities to facilitate the return.
The convoy included 235 families—around 730 people—who were previously forcibly displaced from Syria to Jordan.
They arrived in Homs province aboard buses, accompanied by trucks carrying their belongings. The organization also distributed food baskets and clothing to all returning families.
The convoy entered Syria through the Nassib border crossing in Daraa province on Saturday and continued to 14 residential areas in rural Homs, with support from Waqf Farah and in coordination with Syrian, Jordanian, and Emirati authorities.

Riyadh pledges more financial support to Syria, says Saudi FM
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have pledged joint financial support to help pay the salaries of Syria's public sector employees, in a move that further underscores their warming relations with the newly established government in Damascus. The announcement was made on Saturday by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud during a press conference with his Syrian counterpart, Asaad al-Shibani. The two met in Damascus as part of a broader regional push to stabilize and rebuild Syria after nearly 14 years of civil war. Although exact figures were not disclosed, Syrian Finance Minister Mohammed Yosr Bernieh had earlier revealed that Qatar was prepared to contribute USD 29 million per month over an initial three-month period to help cover salaries for civil servants. The financial support is seen as a critical step in rebuilding trust in Syria's public institutions and providing relief to a population that continues to struggle with poverty and unemployment. This aid package follows a notable development in mid-May, when Saudi Arabia and Qatar jointly cleared Syria's USD 15 million debt to the World Bank. That repayment paved the way for the institution to restart operations in the country for the first time since 2011. Its first project will focus on improving electricity access, essential for revitalizing key public services including healthcare and education. The foreign funding coincides with Syria's broader diplomatic re-entry onto the global stage, marked by shifting policies in the West. On May 13, US President Donald Trump announced the lifting of longstanding sanctions on Syria, a move reportedly endorsed by Washington in support of the Qatari initiative. The European Union soon followed, lifting most of its economic restrictions and unfreezing assets for multiple Syrian entities, including the Central Bank. Syria's president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has sought to distance his administration from past alliances with extremist groups and has emphasized minority rights in an effort to win international legitimacy. However, sporadic violence and instability remain, complicating efforts to attract widespread investment and normalize ties. Despite these challenges, international engagement is slowly expanding. Sharaa has already met with leaders in Riyadh and Paris, and the US has removed a previous USD 10 million bounty on his head, signaling a dramatic policy reversal. Still, recovery will not be swift. A recent UN Development Programme report estimated that, without significant investment, Syria could take over 50 years to regain its pre-war economic levels. The report highlighted that 90 percent of Syrians live in poverty and one in four are unemployed, underscoring the urgency of Gulf and international aid to accelerate economic stabilization.

"Israeli" forces ram bus carrying elderly Hajj pilgrims in West Bank
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) carried out fresh military raids across the occupied West Bank early Saturday, detaining two Palestinians and damaging a bus that was transporting Hajj pilgrims in Jenin. The incident unfolded outside the governorate building in Jenin city, where a bus full of elderly pilgrims was preparing to leave for the Karama border crossing en route to Saudi Arabia. A military vehicle rammed into the parked bus, sparking outrage among Palestinian officials and community members. According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, the IOF vehicle "hit the bus deliberately," although no physical injuries were reported. Jenin Deputy Governor Mansour al-Saadi strongly condemned the event, saying, "The occupation vehicle deliberately and directly hit the bus while it was parked outside the governorate building. Most of the passengers were elderly and suffering from chronic illnesses, which added to the trauma and fear." Palestinians from the West Bank often rely on Jordanian airports for international travel due to Israeli-imposed restrictions on movement. Elsewhere in the West Bank, a young man named Samer Jaradat was arrested during a raid in Silat al-Harithiya, a town west of Jenin. As the IOF withdrew, a small explosive device reportedly detonated in the area, though no injuries were confirmed. In the town of Anabta near Tulkarem, IOF troops stormed the home of 24-year-old Diana Ghalib Mazid and arrested her, according to WAFA. Raids were also reported in Nablus, targeting the Askar New Camp in the east and the al-Ain Camp in the west of the city. Residents reported hearing gunfire and sound bombs, though the extent of damage or arrests remains unclear.

Crown Prince: Jordan's future lies in youth, technology, innovation
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II underscored the critical role of youth and technology in shaping Jordan's future during a keynote speech at the Tawasol 2025 Forum on Saturday. Speaking to an audience of innovators, officials, and young professionals, the Crown Prince emphasized the need to invest in human capital, research, and development to build adaptive and innovative economies. 'In advanced economies, value is no longer measured by factory output, but by intellectual output,' he said. He began his address by reaffirming the values that have defined Jordan since its founding. 'Perseverance, dedication, and excellence are constant traits of the Jordanian identity,' he noted. Addressing the country's youth, Crown Prince Al Hussein said, 'You and your peers are the driving force behind the Jordanian dream. We aim to realize that dream by equipping our young talents with the tools of the modern era, especially in light of the growing role of technology in all aspects of life.' He spoke about the importance of communication in a world increasingly defined by polarization and uncertainty. 'Impressions sometimes outweigh facts,' he said, calling for dialogue and active listening to foster trust, hope, and unity. Looking to the future, the Crown Prince envisioned practical applications of advanced technologies in Jordan. He highlighted the potential of locally developed drones for transporting urgent medical supplies, monitoring utilities, and supporting agriculture. He also spoke of artificial intelligence playing a major role in public sector decision-making, healthcare, and education. 'In the classroom, I see a student using an AI-powered assistant to support her learning, while teachers focus on students facing greater challenges,' he said. 'In the health sector, I imagine a citizen accessing a specialist remotely without the need to travel.' He also expressed his hopes for the Future Technology Council to serve as a model for public institutions, promoting innovation and enhancing service delivery. Reiterating Jordan's strategic vision, the Crown Prince stated, 'We want Jordan to be a regional hub for smart solutions and to collaborate closely with our Arab neighbors to serve shared interests.' He concluded by highlighting Jordan's strengths—stability, resilience, and a wealth of human talent—as assets that position the country for regional leadership. 'If knowledge is power, then creative ideas are wealth,' he said. 'Enlightened minds build nations, strengthen foundations, and create the difference we seek.'
