Erdoğan: I Will Not Leave Al-Shara Alone

Khaberni -Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pledged not to "leave Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shara alone," refusing the partition of Syria, and describing its recovery as beneficial to Turkey. "Al-Shara took a positive step by understanding with the Druze" Erdoğan praised "Al-Shara for his firm stance and his intolerance in the confrontation between Syria and Israel," noting that he took a "very positive" step by reaching an understanding with the Druze. Erdoğan said, "President Al-Shara has taken a firm stance on recent events in his country and has made no concessions." In statements to Turkish media, he said that the Syrian government "somewhat extended its control to Sweida and the south of the country with about 2500 soldiers, as all but one Druze faction agreed to respect the ceasefire during talks in the Jordanian capital Amman" according to him. "Israel tries to hinder stability in Syria" The Turkish president indicated that "Israel continues its provocations, does not want stability in the region, and believes that a united Syria would not be in its interest." He affirmed that "it is necessary to explain well to the world that Israel is working to hinder the stability project in Syria." He explained that the United States has now realized that it needs to "control" the issue more substantially, warning that the main issue is the use of "Israel" for the clashes as a pretext for invading Syrian territory. The "Israeli army" attacked the headquarters of the General Staff in the Syrian capital Damascus in several raids last Wednesday, targeting military vehicles belonging to the Syrian government forces in the city of Sweida and its surroundings. Hours after this bombing, Israeli occupation aircraft renewed their aggression on Syria, targeting locations in the cities of rural Damascus, Daraa, and Sweida.

Lebanese army detains 56 Syrians for lacking legal documents

The Lebanese army announced Friday the detention of 56 Syrian nationals for allegedly entering or remaining in the country without legal documentation, as diplomatic tensions simmer between Beirut and Damascus over the unresolved file of Syrian detainees held in Lebanese prisons. In an official statement, the army said that units, supported by military intelligence patrols, raided Syrian refugee camps in the northern district of Koura, specifically in the areas of Anfeh, Bishmizzine, and Amioun, detaining 31 individuals. Separately, 18 Syrians were arrested at the Madfoun military checkpoint in Batroun, while seven others were apprehended in the Dora area of Mount Lebanon's Metn district, bringing the total number of detainees to 56. According to the army, the arrests were made due to the individuals' lack of legal residency papers. Interrogations are underway under the supervision of the judiciary. These developments coincide with growing frustration in Damascus over what Syrian officials describe as Lebanese inaction in resolving the long-standing issue of Syrians detained in Lebanese prisons — many of whom have been held without trial for years. According to Syrian media reports, President Ahmad Al-Shara expressed "deep dissatisfaction" with the lack of progress during a recent meeting with a delegation from Lebanon's Dar al-Fatwa in Damascus. Unnamed sources cited by Syria TV said Al-Shara has instructed Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani to visit Beirut soon to discuss the matter. They described the visit as a final diplomatic effort before Syria considers gradual political and diplomatic measures against Lebanon. These reports claim that over 2,000 Syrian detainees remain in Lebanese prisons under what has been described as dire conditions, many of them held without formal charges or trials since the outbreak of the Syrian uprising in 2011. In contrast, Syria's state-run media quoted a source from the Ministry of Information denying any plans for escalatory measures against Lebanon. However, the source reaffirmed the Syrian government's view that resolving the detainee issue is a top priority and must be addressed urgently through official diplomatic channels. The renewed spotlight on Syrian detainees comes months after Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam visited Damascus and held talks with President Al-Shara — the first such visit by a senior Lebanese official in years. According to a statement from the Lebanese Prime Minister's Office, the two leaders discussed several key issues, including the detainee file. Meanwhile, in a related statement Friday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized Lebanon's commitment to maintaining positive relations with Syria's new government and President Al-Shara. Speaking to a visiting delegation from the Arab and International Relations Council in Beirut, Aoun reiterated Lebanon's stance of non-interference in the internal affairs of either country. The issue of Syrian refugees and detainees continues to be a point of friction in Lebanese politics, amid economic hardship, rising xenophobia, and complex regional dynamics.

Exclusive: Washington backs Israel-Syria peace efforts

Shafaq News/ The United States continues to support efforts to establish long-term stability between Israel and Syria, a State Department spokesperson confirmed exclusively to Shafaq News. 'Efforts that lead to lasting stability between Israel and Syria remain a priority,' the spokesperson said, adding that 'stability and peace in Syria serve the security interests of all parties.' When questioned about Israeli airstrikes on Syrian territory, the spokesperson referred inquiries to Israeli authorities. 'Questions regarding military operations should be directed to the Israeli authorities.' The statement comes amid reports of direct communication between Syrian and Israeli officials aimed at reducing tensions and preventing a wider confrontation along the border. In an interview published in the Jewish Journal, Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara expressed support for ending cross-border hostilities with Israel, noting that 'prosperity cannot thrive in an atmosphere of fear.' He also highlighted the potential for cooperation on shared security challenges, reflecting a shift in the regional landscape. Since the collapse of the previous government, southern Syria has seen increasing instability, including Israeli patrols in Quneitra province and the establishment of new checkpoints between Khan Arnabah and Jaba. Al-Shara called for a return to the 1974 disengagement agreement with Israel, describing it as 'a fundamental safeguard for mutual restraint and the protection of civilians, particularly the Druze communities in the Golan Heights.'
