Joint security mechanism to be established including Jordan, Turkish official says
Ammon News - Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Nuh Yilmaz revealed the establishment of a joint security mechanism for Syria's neighboring countries, including Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Yilmaz said during a diplomatic conference in Antalya on Saturday, according to the Israel Hayom newspaper. According to Yilmaz, the mechanism is intended to provide a solution to regional security problems and prevent "exploitation" of issues such as "terrorism, border security and drug smuggling," and is expected to become "operational soon." It also aims to help Syria build the capacity to deal with these problems on their own" and "help them stand alone." During the Antalya conference, Yilmaz accused Israel of strategically destabilizing the region, claiming that it acts as a "destabilizing force for its own gain." Last March, Jordan hosted a meeting of Syria's neighboring countries, attended by the foreign and defense ministers, chiefs of staff, and intelligence chiefs from Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. The meeting discussed ways to support the brotherly Syrian people in their efforts to rebuild their country on foundations that guarantee Syria's unity, sovereignty, security, and stability, rid it of terrorism, ensure conditions for the safe and sustainable voluntary return of Syrian refugees to their homeland, and preserve the rights of all Syrians.

Turkey, UK to discuss Syria's economy, security amid political shifts

'Discussions are expected to emphasize the importance of international support for the steps taken by the Syrian administration toward national reconciliation within a central government framework,' Anadolu Agency reported. Yilmaz is also expected to highlight the necessity of lifting all sanctions imposed on Syria without preconditions, to facilitate its reconstruction and economic development, according to Anadolu. Ankara's state-run agency additionally quoted Turkish 'diplomatic sources' as stressing that 'there is no place for terrorism in Syria's future' and the talks will focus on 'the need to halt Israel's actions that openly violate and threaten Syria's sovereignty.' In December, a coalition of opposition groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), headed by Syria's current interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, swiftly toppled the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Israel has since the fall of Assad been conducting strikes in Syria, targeting military assets, weapons depots, and strategic installations. Tel Aviv has additionally rejected calls to end its military operations which it says are against perceived security threats in the region. The new Syrian leadership has in late January as well disbanded the army, dissolved parliament, and annulled the constitution. Sharaa issued a decree on Sunday establishing a seven-member committee tasked with drafting a 'constitutional declaration' for the country's 'transitional phase.' However, the effort sparked controversy due to its apparent exclusion of Kurdish parties. The formation of the new committee follows a National Dialogue Conference in Damascus, which took place on Tuesday. The conference, pledged by Sharaa in late January, was seen as a prelude to holding free and fair elections. However, the key event faced criticism for its limited inclusivity and lack of representation of all minority groups in shaping the country's future.
