🇺🇸 هل نحن أمام بداية شراكة دفاعية أمريكية–سورية؟ 🇸🇾 🔴 عاجل: لجنة القوات المسلحة في مجلس النواب الأمريكي متفائلة جدًا بمسار سوريا الجديد لدرجة أنها طلبت من وزارة الدفاع (البنتاغون) تقديم إحاطة للكونغرس قبل **١٥ فبراير ٢٠٢٦** حول “التقدم، التحديات، وآفاق الشراكة الدفاعية المحتملة مع الحكومة السورية الجديدة.” التقرير أشاد بخطوات الحكومة السورية الأخيرة: اعتراض شحنات الأسلحة لحزب الله، إنهاء دور سوريا كدولة مخدرات، وتقليص النفوذ الروسي والإيراني. كما أشار إلى التنسيق بين الرئيس أحمد الشرع وقائد قوات سوريا الديمقراطية مظلوم عبدي لدمج قوات الـ SDF في القوات الفدرالية السورية ضمن إطار أبريل ٢٠٢٥. ⚠️ ملاحظة: هذا النص ورد في **تقرير لجنة مجلس النواب** المرافق لقانون الدفاع (NDAA)، وهو بمثابة تعليق سياسي يوجّه القانون ولا يُعد نصًا ملزمًا بعد. الصياغة النهائية ستتضح بعد التشاور مع مجلس الشيوخ، لكن مجرد إدراج هذا النص (من دون اعتراض لإزالته) مؤشر مهم على مواقف الأطراف الأمريكية واتجاه النقاش في واشنطن. --- 📖 النص الكامل المترجم للفقرة ذات الصلة من تقرير اللجنة: > إحاطة حول الشراكة الدفاعية الأمريكية المحتملة مع سوريا > “تشيد اللجنة بالشعب السوري على عزيمته الراسخة لتحرير نفسه من عقود من الحكم الاستبدادي، وتشير إلى الفرصة التاريخية المتاحة لجميع السوريين، بمن فيهم الأقليات الدينية والعرقية، لصياغة مستقبل سياسي جديد يقوم على التعاون والازدهار والحرية. > وتلاحظ اللجنة أنّ الحكومة السورية الجديدة اتخذت إجراءات سريعة لاعتراض شحنات الأسلحة غير المشروعة إلى حزب الله، وإنهاء دور سوريا كدولة مخدرات، وتقليص نفوذ الجهات الإيرانية والروسية. > وتشجَّع اللجنة كذلك بالخطوات الأخيرة التي اتخذها الرئيس أحمد الشرع وقائد قوات سوريا الديمقراطية مظلوم عبدي لبدء دمج قوات الـ SDF في القوات الأمنية الفدرالية السورية، على غرار الإطار الأمني الذي تم إقراره في أبريل ٢٠٢٥. > وتوجّه اللجنة وزير الدفاع، بالتنسيق مع قائد القيادة المركزية الأمريكية، ومساعد وزير الدفاع لشؤون الأمن الدولي، ومدير وكالة الاستخبارات الدفاعية، إلى تقديم إحاطة للجنة القوات المسلحة في مجلس النواب، في موعد أقصاه ١٥ فبراير ٢٠٢٦، حول التقدم، التحديات، وآفاق الشراكة الدفاعية المحتملة مع الحكومة السورية الجديدة.”

Dr. Zaher Sahloul@sahloul·
My organization, @MedGlobalOrg, in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Chicago, has established the first of its kind Center for the Treatment and Support of Victims of Torture in the city of Homs, using state of the art behavioral treatment. So far, we have treated about 450 patients and completed 2500 treatment sessions. But the need is high as there are tens of thousands of victims of torture in Syria. In order to increase our capacity and open new centers, we need more funding.
Simona #HumanityIsDead@simonajeger

@1962Wren @RanaKabbani54 Yes, but there should also be nationwide efforts. International NGOs cannot forever fill all the gaps in Syria’s destroyed healthcare system. At some point it’s the government that must step it up and define their priorities. Just my humble opinion as a non-Syrian. @sahloul

#Syria: appointed, just took office, abducted and resigned with apology - all within a week. Prof. Ballan submitted his resignation as Director of Education after being abducted by a commander from Hijri's National Guard in #Suwayda-city. In his message, he says he wants to avoid internal strife & apologizes in accordance with Hijri's decision, leaving little doubt about who was behind the move.

#Syria: the newly-appointed Director of Education, a professor (pic 1), has been abducted by a commander belonging to Hijri's National Guard. The commander, Mohanad Mazhar, is a well-known warlord involved in widespread criminal activities in #Suwayda province, incl. drug trafficking. He previously led an armed group affiliated with Assad's Military Security. syriadirect.org/is-damascus-re… Before the assault, he posted on his profile "everyone appointed by Damascus is a sellout".

Talks with the President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa @AH_AlSharaa. We agreed to work together to bring greater security and more opportunities for development to our societies. We discussed the situation in the region and the prospects for changing it for the better. We also went over the circumstances of Russia’s war against Ukraine – I am grateful for the support. There is strong interest in exchanging military and security experience. I appreciate the words of respect for our people. We also touched on Ukraine’s role as a reliable supplier of food products and discussed joint opportunities to strengthen food security across the region. We understand very well the energy and infrastructure challenges Syria is currently facing. We are ready to work together to expand opportunities for both our countries and their people.

#Iraq has begun sending 1.5 million barrels of oil per month to #Syria's Baniyas refinery for export to #Europe via the Mediterranean. #Saudi is investing $ billions in a transnational fiber optic network as an alternative to the current Hormuz-Red Sea corridor. + a lot more.
Charles Lister@Charles_Lister

Post-#Assad #Syria has pitched itself as a more direct, effective & profitable corridor to international trade. The fact that #Syria is currently more stable than at any point in 15yrs, **amid regional war,** has boosted that pitch. My latest -- en.majalla.com/node/330375/bu…

#Syria: the first 178 oil tankers, carrying Iraqi oil, arrived in Baniyas. Unloading is currently underway, as the cargo is being prepared for transfer onto ships that will then sail to their final destination. This is the alternative route used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz's closure, which was activated yesterday with the reopening of the Walid border crossing with Iraq.

#Syria: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has highlighted Syria's strategic position as a regional energy corridor. A total of 299 tankers carrying Iraqi oil were sent to Baniyas as first shipment, where the cargo will be loaded onto ships for export to its final destination. The Walid border crossing with Iraq was reopened yesterday as an emergency measure to bypass the Hormuz closure - enabling Iraq to continue oil exports while allowing Syria to generate additional revenue with transit fees.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa said at the Syrian-German Business Forum in Berlin: Amid the current regional instability, there are very significant risks to supply chains and energy flows between East and West, with Europe likely to be affected by disruptions. Syria can serve as a safe hub for securing supply chains and energy routes through its strategic location and Mediterranean access, offering a faster and more secure link to Europe. In the event of disruptions in the Red Sea or the Strait of Hormuz, Syria can provide a safer alternative route.

It’s still hard to believe I’m actually walking through Damascus’s Al-Rabwah on such a sunny spring day. The abundance of water and lush greenery is a sight I haven't seen in my life in Damascus since the 2000’s drought hit Syria.

I understood barring Muslims from the Holy Land during their month of fasting, penance, and celebration after. But denying my religion use of the same holy land? That crosses the line. Looking forward to working out a solution.
Ambassador Mike Huckabee@GovMikeHuckabee

My statement re Prohibiting the Latin Patriarch of entering Church of Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday: While all Holy sites in the Old City are closed due to safety concerns for mass gatherings including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque, the action today by the Israel Nat'l Police to deny Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and 3 other priests from entering the Church to offer a blessing on Palm Sunday is an unfortunate overreach already having major repercussions around the world.  Home Front Command Guidelines restrict any gatherings to 50 people or less.  The 4 representatives of the Catholic Church were well below that restriction.  Statements from the Gov't of Israel indicate the action to prohibit Cardinal Pizzaballa entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were for safety reasons, but churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout Jerusalem have met with the restrictions of 50 or less.  For the Patriarch to be barred from entry to the Church on Palm Sunday for a private ceremony is difficult to understand or justify. Israel has indicated it will work with the Patriarch to accommodate a safe means of carrying out Holy Week activities.

نتابع بقلق بالغ إزاء ما ورد في التقارير من أعمال عنف جماعي في بلدة السقيلبية بريف حماة الغربي. ما بدأ كإشكال محلي تصاعد إلى عمل انتقامي منظّم استهدف محال تجارية ومنازل، وهو ترهيب جماعي مرفوض كليًّا. نُشيد بدور الوجهاء ورجال الدين ولجان السلم الأهلي الذين تحركوا سريعًا لاحتواء الأزمة. ونرفض كل أشكال التضليل والتحريض الطائفي من أي جهة كانت. نُرحّب بالاعتقالات المُعلنة وندعو إلى محاسبة شفافة وعادلة. السوريون يستحقون أمانًا يكفله القانون ومؤسسات أمنية مهنية وخاضعة للمساءلة—لا انتقامًا جماعيًّا ولا إدارة أزمات بالتراضي وحدها.
الإخبارية السورية@AlekhbariahSY

"المشكلة انتهت.. وكلنا نسعى للاستقرار".. رجال دين في مدينة السقيلبية ووجهاء من أبناء منطقة سهل الغاب بريف حماة يؤكدون وقوفهم ضد أي محاولات لبث الفتنة وسعيهم لعودة الهدوء بعد حادثة الشجار #الإخبارية_السورية
