Jordan-Syria-US meeting held in Amman
Syria's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that its top diplomat Asaad Al Shaibani met with Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and US envoy for Syria Tom Barrack to discuss 'ways of strengthening cooperation and coordination between the three sides' to serve Syria's stability, 'sovereignty and regional security'.
Damascus said the sides had agreed to form a working group 'to support the Syrian government's efforts to consolidate the ceasefire in [Suwayda] province, and work to find a comprehensive solution to the crisis'.
The Jordanian-Syrian-American meeting was a continuation of discussions held between the officials in Amman on July 19 about deadly clashes in the Druze-majority Syrian province of Suwayda, where a week of sectarian violence killed 1,400 people before a ceasefire put an end to the bloodshed.

Indonesia president touts economy, social welfare drive
Agencies Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto emphasized an expectation-defying economy, low unemployment rate and slew of ambitious social welfare initiatives as he delivered his first state address to parliament on Friday. The ex-special forces commander took office in October after a campaign to rehabilitate an image tainted by allegations of rights abuses committed during the Suharto dictatorship in the late 1990s. The 73-year-old populist leader has pledged fast, state-driven growth to transform Southeast Asia's largest country into a major global powerhouse. But his hallmark schemes, including a free school meal program to address childhood stunting, have strained state coffers, stoked investor fears and triggered student protests. In his speech, Prabowo defended his social policies and pointed to positive second-quarter economic results after his government set an ambitious goal of eight percent growth. 'Amid political conflict, global economic conflict, (and the US) trade war... Indonesia still managed to grow above five percent,' he told parliament. After US President Donald Trump threatened Indonesia with a heavy tariff rate of 32 percent in April, Prabowo negotiated a lower levy of 19 percent in return for bringing down trade barriers for American goods. Last week, the statistics agency showed Q2 growth had accelerated to 5.12 percent, beating forecasts and up from 4.87 percent the previous quarter. He also pointed to the unemployment rate, which has dropped to its lowest since the Asian financial crisis. On his social welfare agenda, Prabowo shrugged off criticism of the billion-dollar free lunch program for schoolkids and pregnant mothers, touting its reach of 20 million people. 'Our goal... is to be free from poverty, free from hunger, free from suffering,' he said. He faced protests across Indonesia in February for widespread cuts to fund the scheme which has been dogged by reported delays and food poisonings as well as a new sovereign wealth fund.

Disarmament plan could trigger civil war, warns Hezbollah chief
dpa Cairo Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has warned that a Lebanese government plan to disarm his Iran-allied movement could spark a new civil war in the country. Earlier this month, the government tasked the army to draw up the plan by August 31, and approved the 'objectives' outlined in a US proposal concerning Hezbollah's disarmament. Qasim on Friday lashed out at the government, holding it responsible for potential unrest in the country that experienced a 15-year civil war starting in 1975. 'This government is implementing an American-Israeli order on terminating the resistance even if this leads to a civil war and internal sedition,' he said in a televised address. 'The government has taken a very dangerous decision violating the charter of co-existence and it [the government] is exposing the country to a big crisis.' Qasim vowed that his Shiite Muslim group would not hand over its weapons while Israel continues attacks on Lebanon. The issue of Hezbollah's weapons has long been a flashpoint in Lebanese politics. Supporters view the group's arsenal as essential for defence against Israel, while opponents argue it undermines state sovereignty and risks dragging Lebanon into conflict. On Friday, Qasim said Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal movement, had agreed to delay street protests, which could reach the US embassy, against the disarmament plan to allow for discussion with the government 'There would be no life for Lebanon if you stand on the other side,' he said. In response, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam rejected what he described as Qasim's veiled threat of civil war. 'No one in Lebanon today wants civil war. Threats and brandishing them are completely rejected,' he said on the social media platform X. Salam defended his government's decisions, saying they are purely Lebanese without foreign dictates.

France lambasts Israeli West Bank settlement project
France on Saturday condemned an Israeli project to construct 3,400 settlement units in the occupied West Bank, stressing that the move constitutes an egregious breach of international law. France condemns, in the strongest terms, the decision of the Israeli authorities approving the settlement project E1 (East 1), which allows the building of 3,000-plus residential units in East Jerusalem, a spokesman of the French Foreign Ministry said. France sees that such a settlement project will carve up the West Bank into two portions and dangerously erode the two-state solution, as the latter is the only way capable of ensuring enduring peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. The European nation emphasized that it still acts alongside its European partners to step up pressure on Israel to put an end to the colonization, including through imposing new sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for this colonization, the French spokesman underlined.
