Syria to Resume Flights & Reopen Embassy in Libya
Syria is preparing to restore its diplomatic and aviation presence in Libya as part of a broader effort to revive ties between the two nations after more than a decade of strained relations. A government delegation is expected to visit Tripoli soon, with direct flights and embassy services to follow. Sameh Arabi, Director of Syrian Airlines, confirmed that Libya will soon be added as a new destination for the state-run airline. In a statement to Syria's official news agency SANA, Arabi noted that the carrier currently operates four daily flights serving Gulf and Middle Eastern cities, including Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Doha, and Kuwait. He added that efforts are underway to resume routes to Egypt, although some administrative hurdles remain. The revival of the Libya route aligns with Syria's renewed diplomatic outreach. On May 15, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani announced the reopening of the Syrian embassy and consulate in Libya, saying it was based on instructions from Syria's newly appointed President, Ahmad Al-Shara. 'This step aims to provide services to our Syrian community in Libya and to strengthen fraternal relations between the two nations,' Al-Shibani wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He added that a field team will be dispatched in preparation for an official visit to Libya's Government of National Unity, although no specific date was given. The developments come amid a broader political realignment in Syria. In January 2025, Ahmad Al-Shara was appointed transitional president following the ousting of Bashar Al-Assad in December 2024. His administration has since emphasized reengagement with regional partners, including Libya. During the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in April, Libyan interim Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbaiba and Syrian President Al-Shara agreed to reactivate the Libyan–Syrian High Joint Committee. The body, designed to enhance bilateral cooperation across political, economic, and social spheres, had been dormant for years. Tags: HajjlibyaMakkahPilgrimageSaudi Arabia

Tensions soar as Turkey blocks Israeli flight to Azerbaijan meeting on Syria
ALBAWABA- In a fresh sign of growing strain between Turkey and Israel, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that Turkey refused to allow an Israeli aircraft carrying a high-level delegation en route to Azerbaijan for de-escalation talks with Ankara to cross its airspace. The plane was instead forced to reroute through Greek and Bulgarian airspace to reach its destination. Despite this diplomatic snub, Israeli and Turkish officials held a technical meeting in Azerbaijan on Wednesday aimed at establishing a de-confliction mechanism in Syria. هيئة البث الإسرائيلية: الطائرة الإسرائيلية التي رفضت تركيا عبورها كانت تقل وفدا من المسؤولين الكبار إلى محادثات أذربيجان #الحدث_عاجل — الحدث عاجل (@Alhadath_Brk) April 10, 2025 According to an Israeli official, Tel Aviv clearly warned Turkey during the meeting that any shift in the deployment of foreign forces in Syria, particularly the construction of Turkish bases near Palmyra (Tadmur), is a red line and would be viewed as a serious breach of trust. The Israeli source reiterated that preventing such developments remains the responsibility of the Syrian government, now led by President Ahmad Al-Shara. "Any action threatening Israel also endangers his rule," the source added. Also Read Ahmed al-Sharaa to visit UAE and Turkey On its part, Turkey confirmed the meeting but emphasized that these talks are limited to technical coordination and do not indicate any steps toward normalization. Turkish Defense Ministry sources said the first round of discussions focused on preventing unintended military incidents in Syria, and that efforts will continue to build a de-escalation framework. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan echoed this during an interview with CNN Türk, stating, 'As we carry out certain operations in Syria, we must coordinate to avoid clashes with Israeli aircraft in the region, just as we do with the Americans and Russians.'
