Syrian Presidential decree grants Eid al-Adha bonus to state workers, retirees
President Ahmed Al-sharaa has issued a decree ordering the disbursement of a one-time financial grant to civil and military employees of the Syrian state in celebration of Eid al-Adha. According to the decree, state employees—both civilian and military—will receive a bonus of 500,000 Syrian pounds. Additionally, retirees, including civilian and military pensioners, will be granted 300,000 Syrian pounds. This comes just almost two months after the government had issued a similar one-time bonus for Eid al-Fitr, which amounted to the equivalent of a full month's salary for state workers. The bonuses are part of government efforts to ease the economic burdens facing Syrians amid a deepening financial crisis and high inflation rates.

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.

Fifth wave of arrests hits Istanbul as Turkey jails more opposition voices
Turkish authorities have launched a new wave of arrests targeting dozens of opposition figures, including mayors and party officials in Istanbul and Adana, in what critics say is a politically motivated campaign. According to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, arrest warrants were issued for 47 individuals, with at least 30 already detained. The latest operation marks the fifth round of detentions since March, when Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu—President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's most prominent political rival—was imprisoned. Local officials, particularly from the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), have been the primary targets of these raids. Turkish officials maintain that the crackdown is rooted in legitimate corruption allegations and deny any political agenda, asserting that the judiciary remains independent. In a letter sent from prison and read at an opposition rally on Saturday, Imamoglu condemned the ongoing arrests. 'It is time to say 'enough is enough' to this unjust and unlawful order.' He added, 'Now you are taking our district mayors with fictitious excuses. What will you do? Where will you stop? Are you going to throw 16 million Istanbulites in jail one by one?' Imamoglu, a rising star within the CHP, has been accused of corruption and links to a terrorist organization—charges he denies. His imprisonment has sparked nationwide protests and further arrests, with the Istanbul prosecutor's office reporting that 819 individuals detained during demonstrations are now facing trial in 20 separate cases. The latest arrests involved four coordinated operations across Istanbul and Adana. Among those apprehended were municipal mayors, city officials, and members of the CHP. Baki Aydöner, a CHP Party Assembly member, shared on X that he was in Ankara when his wife informed him their home was being searched. Aydöner said he was traveling to Istanbul in response to a detention order issued against him.
