Syrian, Israeli officials to meet again in Baku
Shafaq News – Baku Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani is set to meet with Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer on Thursday in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku, a diplomatic source told AFP. The meeting will focus primarily on the security situation in southern Syria and will follow al-Shibani's scheduled visit to Moscow the same day, according to the source. This will mark the second meeting between the two ministers, following a similar US-brokered encounter held in Paris last week. Damascus recently acknowledged indirect talks with Israel focused on restoring the 1974 disengagement agreement that created the Golan buffer zone. Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar indicated a potential policy shift late last month, saying 'Israel is open to pursuing a peace and normalization agreement with Syria.' Israel, a key arms supplier to Azerbaijan and a prominent diplomatic actor in the Caucasus, has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December. Israeli forces also entered the UN-monitored buffer zone on the Golan Heights, conducting further operations in southern Syria.

Hezbollah's Chief: Resistance is core defense
Shafaq News – Beirut On Wednesday, Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem defended the group's dual path of armed resistance and political involvement, calling both 'inseparable pillars' of its identity. Speaking at a memorial for Commander Fouad Shukr, killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs on July 30, 2024, Qassem argued that Hezbollah's role extends beyond symbolic defiance, describing the resistance as a 'core element' of Lebanon's national defense alongside the army and the people. On the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, Qassem acknowledged relative calm but dismissed any suggestion that it implies disarmament, insisting Hezbollah's weapons are non-negotiable and remain a domestic issue. He rejected claims of declining influence, asserting that the party's political and social roots have only deepened, while accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire 'out of fear.' Qassem also condemned US Special Envoy Tom Barrack's recent warnings about regional escalation, claiming his visit delivered threats but received only a 'unified Lebanese call to end Israeli aggression.' While accusing Israel of using border disputes to mask expansionist goals, he warned that settlement growth would resume the moment resistance weakens. On the regional front, the Secretary-General described Israeli strikes in Syria as attempts to redraw borders by force, labeling the campaign 'a prototype' for regional destabilization through assassinations and territorial control. Turning to Gaza, Qassem denounced Israeli and US actions as deliberate genocide, urging the international community to confront what he called a threat to global humanity.

Hundreds of ISIS families from Al-Hol camp resettle in Saladin
Shafaq News – Saladin Nearly 500 families associated with the Islamic State (ISIS) have returned to Saladin province since the beginning of July, an Iraqi security source told Shafaq News on Wednesday. The source explained that the families were relocated in phases after undergoing strict security screening and preliminary rehabilitation at Al-Jadaa camp, southern Mosul. They have since been distributed across several districts, including Baiji, Shirqat, Tikrit, Dhuluiya, Samarra, and Balad, under the supervision of Saladin Operations Command and local security forces. The returns coincide with Iraq's preparations to receive a new batch of displaced families from Al-Hol on Thursday. According to the source, around 230 families are expected to arrive at Al-Jadaa, where they will participate in psychological and social rehabilitation programs before being sent back to their hometowns. Security warnings Security expert and academic researcher Khalil al-Jubouri warned that reintegration efforts could backfire without effective rehabilitation programs addressing the psychological, social, and security dimensions of these families. 'Integrating ISIS families into Iraqi society is a major challenge, especially in areas still reeling from the war, sectarian conflict, and tribal disputes,' he told Shafaq News, noting that earlier reintegration programs, funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), have largely stalled following US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw financial support. Civil society activist Hussein Abdullah emphasized the need for meaningful local participation in the reintegration efforts. 'The challenge isn't just about returning the families—it's about ensuring they're not marginalized again, which could lead to isolation or renewed radicalization,' he told Shafaq News. Abdullah noted that while civil society organizations have worked to promote social cohesion, these efforts need tangible support from both the government and international partners to be sustainable. Additionally, Sheikh Saadoun al-Dulaimi, a community leader in Saladin, voiced concern over the return of ISIS-affiliated families, particularly to areas that were directly targeted by the group during years of conflict. 'Forgiveness or reconciliation cannot be imposed through administrative measures,' al-Dulaimi affirmed to Shafaq News, stating that real healing requires genuine community reconciliation, security guarantees, and continuous monitoring. Located in northeastern Syria, Al-Hol camp is considered one of the world's most complex displacement sites, housing some 50,000 people—mostly women and children, including thousands of Iraqis. United Nations reports have described the camp as a 'ticking time bomb,' warning that it serves as fertile ground for extremist recruitment and ideology amid deteriorating security and humanitarian conditions. According to official figures, Iraq has repatriated over 5,000 individuals from Al-Hol as of mid-2025 as part of a broader plan to close the file on ISIS-linked displacement. However, authorities acknowledge that major social, political, and security obstacles remain.
