    " If Damascus keeps failing its minorities, will they keep looking elsewhere for the security guarantees their own state won’t provide? The Druze already have."

    How much more proof do people need that the #Israelis are genocidal monsters?

    #Israel demanded that all people in #Lebanon leave territory within 25 miles from the Israeli border, bombing millions of people to emphasize their point.

    But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message.

    In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several #Christian and #Druze communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring #Shiite #Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardments flatten Shiite towns. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

    Israel has no right to be in Lebanon at all. I remind you of 1982’s #Sabra and #Shatila massacres. Yes, an Israeli company did name their hummus in honor of 3500 dead Lebanese.

    They are monsters.

  16. @publicnewsfeed So the #Kurds are abandoned once again. After ISIS were defeated and Assad overthrown there was no need to pamper to them. The #Druze are protected by self interest of #Israel. Dare to say even the dream of a greater Israel. No one in the case of #Kurds.

  23. #Syria Charles Lister: More disturbing news from #Suwayda, where a 2nd #Druze cleric -- Maher Al-Falout -- has been killed under torture 3 days after being detained by militiamen loyal to Hikmat al-Hijri.

    Why? Like Raed al-Mutni (& many others), he was open to dialogue & compromise with #Damascus.

    Weekly Highlights 06.10.25 - 12.10.25

    Clashes between Asayish and the Government Security Forces in Aleppo
    The fighting erupted shortly after the Syrian Government Security Forces (GSS) discovered an alleged Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) tunnel extending from Kurdish areas into a nearby government-controlled neighborhood on October 6. The GSS reacted by sealing off all entrances and exits to Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsoud. In response to these closures, Kurdish residents staged protests. The GSS repressed them, killing four protesters and injuring many. The same night, clashes erupted between Syrian government forces and #Asayish units, lasting for several hours.
    On October 7, Mazloum Abdi and two other officials from the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria traveled to Damascus for discussions with Al-Sharaa and the Syrian defense minister. Following their meeting, the minister announced an immediate "comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts" in northern and northeastern Syria. Thomas Barrack, who attended the meeting alongside the US Central Command Commander, stated that Al-Sharaa and Mazlum Abdi discussed both sides' "recommitment" to the March 10 Agreement, indicating that they believe both parties are "heading in the right direction."
    The same day, the Syrian Transitional Government forces broke the ceasefire by bombing the SDF soldiers stationed on the west side of the Tishrin Dam.

    SDF Makes New Steps to Join a New Syrian Army
    In a ceremony celebrating the 10th anniversary of the SDF, Mazloum Abdi announced on Friday that the SDF will begin formal procedures to join a new Syrian army being established as part of the implementation of the March 10 agreements. He stated, “A military committee will soon travel to Damascus and discuss how the SDF will be integrated.”
    Later on, the SDF commander expressed in an interview that the Syrian Transitional Government is showing a positive approach towards the issue of decentralization, noting that discussions are underway regarding amending the constitution and that the Syrian Democratic Forces and Asayish will join the Ministry of Defense. He also called on the people of Afrin to prepare for an organized return. While encouraging, those steps should be approached with caution, as there have been several unsuccessful attempts to achieve this goal in the past months.

    Syrian Parliamentary Elections Took Place Without NES and Suweida
    On October 5, parliamentary elections were held. They were a parody of democracy: Al-Sharaa has indirectly approved two-thirds of the elected candidates and will directly appoint the remaining members. Women’s representation in the newly elected assembly does not exceed three percent after the counting process. North-Eastern Syria and Suweida Governorate were arbitrarily excluded from the elections. The Syrian government justified this exclusion by citing that the security situation in those regions was too unstable for participation. Until further progress in the negotiations between them and Al-Sharaa's government, the NES and Suweida seats will remain empty in the parliament. According to the plans set forth by Al-Sharaa's administration, this assembly will maintain legislative authority until Syria adopts a permanent constitution with new legislative elections.

    The National Guard Aims to Regain Control Over Suweida Government-Held Territories
    On October 6, the National Guard, a coalition of anti-government #Druze militias, stated that they seek to regain control over Suweidawi villages currently occupied by the Syrian Transitional Government. On October 9, the coalition stated that it will wait for a “political solution” from “guarantor states” to regain control of all of Suweida Province. The National Guard did not specify which “guarantor states” it seeks to collaborate with but thanked the United States and Israel for “standing” with #Suweida and noted that the National Guard seeks further coordination with Israel. The same day, clashes erupted between Syrian government forces and a Druze armed group in the western part of Suweida Governorate. The National Guard denied any implication in the attack and called on its fighters to remain at their positions and to adhere to the ceasefire agreement.
