Syrian FM Asaad al-Shibani at a joint press conference with Danish FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen in Damascus:

📌 Israel carried out 65 incursions in July and 52 in the first 18 days of August, with 147 arrests since January, 49 still detained, plus ongoing home raids in Quneitra and the Damascus countryside.

📌 Public statements ruling out an Israeli withdrawal from Mount Hermon amount to a declaration of entrenched occupation, stripping away any security pretext, though Damascus remains committed to a diplomatic solution.

📌 Syria demands a full return to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, sovereignty over the occupied Golan, and its right to build a national army.

Minister Shaibani on X: We welcome the UN General Assembly’s unanimous adoption of the resolution submitted by the Syrian Arab Republic designating 19 December as the International Day to Honour Women Searchers of the Disappeared.

This is the first resolution Syria has submitted to the United Nations in its modern history, marking its return to an active role in international forums and transforming a national cause into a humanitarian cause with global significance.

On this occasion, we honour the women who have carried the burden of searching for their missing loved ones and endured years of waiting and pain without giving up their right to know the truth. Their struggle will remain part of Syria’s path towards justice and fairness.

Hi all,

I’m struggling to find answers from the Syrian embassy or consulate in the UK (do they even have a website?!)

My parents live in the UK and want to sell their house in Syria without both traveling there. The house is jointly owned, half in each of their names.

Can my dad give my mum a wakala (power of attorney) so she can go to Syria and sell the house on his behalf, alongside her own share?

Does anyone know the procedure for this, or where I can find reliable details? We’re based in the UK.

Thank you!

Hello! I am from a EU member country, Romania, and I plan to visit Syria, is the visa on arrival or I have to apply to the Syrian Embassy. Thank you!

i went on a vacation with my family and brought a switch with me. Once we returned and opened our carry-ons it was gone! We asked my grandparents to check at my family's' house and they didn't find anything so there is an extremely high chance that somebody from the airport stole it. is there something i can do? (we tried contacting them and got no response)

Does anyone know where I can watch the full fourth session of Hassoun’s trial? Or, more generally, the full sessions of other trials?
I’ve looked around, but I can only find short clips. Is there any place that publishes the full court sessions, or are they not allowed to be released publicly and only selected parts are published?
If anyone knows where the full sessions can be watched, I’d appreciate it.

Hello!

I am a 24 year old Australian man. I’ve just gotten out a long term relationship and I’m finally in a place to travel in a way I haven’t been for a long time lol.

I have a fair bit of money and plenty of time on my hands so I was thinking, I’ve done Europe and bits of Asia before, I want to try something different. I want to try the Middle East.

I was looking at Iraq but I’ve heard it’s too dangerous. I mean, my country’s official travel guide says basically every place in the Middle East is a complete no-go. But what’s the point of an adventure if you’re 100% sure you’ll make it back right?

I was looking at Iraq but was convinced not to go out of safety issues, but I have heard Syria might be safer? Especially if I stick the cities in the west, is this true?

If you guys believe it is possible for me to travel Syria without being kidnapped and ransomed (what my mum is sure will happen), what would be the best way to go about it? It seems like such a beautiful country and beautiful culture I think it would be fantastic.

I would be travelling with my cousin who is a 25m, we are both tall and strong, white looking men who aren’t too afraid of a bad part of town. At least in my coddled western country. If any of that means anything safety wise.

Please let me know and give me any recommendations you can think of.

I will be flying in to Istanbul and either going through turkey south to Syria, south east to northern Iraq, or east to Georgia. Or all three. Would I be able to cross the Turkish-Syrian border?

These caveman terrorist thugs pointed their guns at Suweyda students and didn’t let them take exams and then to change attention shot at unsuspecting security personnel to create more chaos.

These terrorist rats learned well from Netanyahu I see, both love starting wars and chaos to escape from justice and backlash

European Affairs Director Sally Shoubat discussed strengthening bilateral relations and preparations to reopen the Syrian embassy in Rome with Italy's ambassador to Syria, Stefano Ravagnan.

Hussein Sabbagh was appointed ambassador to Italy and left for Rome in May, with Ravagnan meeting him before his departure and backing the reopening.

مرحبا جميعا

Four Internal Security members were wounded repelling attacks on security points around Walgha, Mansoura and Tal Hadid in the western Suwayda countryside, in clashes with the National Guard, the force aligned with Druze leader Hikmat al-Hijri, that also injured attackers.

Walgha, Mansoura and Tal Hadid have been the recurring flashpoints, with clashes on the same axes in February, March and May.

Salam!

 أعلنت مجموعة أرادَ، أحد أسرع المطورين الرئيسيين نمواً على مستوى العالم، عن دخولها السوق السورية عبر مشروعٍ مشترك مع الصندوق السيادي السوري، لتطوير مدينة متكاملة على موقع بمساحة أربعة ملايين متر مربع غرب مدينة دمشق.

وتم توقيع الاتفاقية في مقر الصندوق السيادي بدمشق من قبل أحمد الخشيبي، الرئيس التنفيذي لمجموعة أرادَ، ومحمد الخياط، مدير قطاع التطوير العقاري في الصندوق السيادي السوري.  
ويمثل الدخول إلى سوريا، أحدث خطوة ضمن جهود التوسع العالمي السريع للشركة، حيث يمتلك المطوّر الرئيسي حالياً مجموعة مشاريع بقيمة 42مليار دولار أمريكي عبر أربعة أسواق، مع محفظة تضم أكثر من 66,000 وحدة سكنية في كلّ من الإمارات والمملكة المتحدة وأستراليا – وحالياً – سوريا.
ويقع المشروع والذي تقدّر قيمة تطويره الإجمالية بسبعة مليارات دولار أمريكي (25.7 مليار درهم إماراتي) في منطقة دمشق الجديدة، بالقرب من منطقة المزة، على هضبة تبعد حوالي 10 دقائق عن مركز مدينة دمشق 25 دقيقة من مطار دمشق الدولي.
ويغطي الموقع أربعة ملايين متر مربع، بما في ذلك حديقة عامة رئيسية بمساحة 700,000 متر مربع، وسيوفر مجتمعاً متكاملاً يضم 11 ألف وحدة سكنية، ومرافق تعليمية تستوعب 5,000 طالب، ومستشفى مؤلفاً من 300 سرير، ومباني للخدمات الحكومية وغيرها من المرافق التي تخدم الحياة اليومية للمجتمع.
وتعليقاً على ذلك، قال صاحب السموّ الملكي الأمير خالد بن الوليد بن طلال، نائب رئيس مجلس الإدارة التنفيذي لمجموعة أرادَ: "تمرّ سوريا بلحظةٍ محورية في تاريخها، ولديها فرصة كبيرة لإعادة الإعمار والاستثمار في المستقبل".
 مضيفاً: "سلمت أرادَ خلال عقد من الزمن مجتمعات كبرى ذات جودة عالية عبر أسواق متعددة وفي بيئات شديدة التعقيد، وبالتالي فنحن نتمتع بقدرة استثنائية لتنفيذ هذا المشروع الضخم مع شريك مثالي مثل الصندوق السيادي السوري، مشيراً أننا في وضع يؤهلنا للعمل مع الصندوق السيادي السوري ونقل تجربتنا وخبراتنا بحيث نتعاون سوياً من أجل إيجاد فرص العمل وتطوير القدرات المحلية ودعم قطاع الأعمال السوري والمساهمة في تنمية الاقتصاد الوطني".

واختتم الأمير خالد حديثه بالقول: "لقد تشكّل نجاح أرادَ من خلال جاهزيتنا للاستثمار طويل الأمد، وذلك عبر العمل مع شركاء طموحين يشاركوننا رؤيتنا في إيجاد مجتمعات استثنائية ومتكاملة".
بدوره السيد محمد الخياط مدير قطاع التطوير العقاري في الصندوق السيادي السوري قال: "ترحب سوريا بمجتمع الأعمال والشركات من جميع دول العالم، ولا شك بأنّ هذه الشراكة مع أرادَ تمثل دليلاً قوياً على ذلك، لافتاً أن مهمة الصندوق السيادي السوري تتمثل في جذب الاستثمارات العالمية التي تضيف قيمة طويلة الأمد للشعب السوري.

Arada Group, one of the fastest-growing major developers in the world, announced its entry into the Syrian market through a joint venture with the Syrian Sovereign Fund to develop an integrated city on a four-million-square-meter site west of Damascus.

The agreement was signed at the headquarters of the Sovereign Fund in Damascus by Ahmed Khushibi, CEO of Arada Group, and Mohammed Al-Khayyat, Director of the Real Estate Development Sector at the Syrian Sovereign Fund.

The entry into Syria represents the latest step in the company’s rapid global expansion efforts. The major developer currently has a portfolio of projects worth US$42 billion across four markets, comprising more than 66,000 residential units in the U-A-E, the United Kingdom, Australia—and now Syria.

The project, whose total development value is estimated at US$7 billion (AED 25.7 billion), is located in the New Damascus area, near Mezzeh, on a plateau approximately 10 minutes from central Damascus and 25 minutes from Damascus International Airport.

The site covers four million square meters, including a 700,000-square-meter central public park. It will provide an integrated community comprising 11,000 residential units, educational facilities accommodating 5,000 students, a 300-bed hospital, government service buildings, and other facilities serving the community’s daily needs.

Commenting on the announcement, His Royal Highness Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, Executive Vice Chairman of Arada Group, said: “Syria is experiencing a pivotal moment in its history and has a significant opportunity to rebuild and invest in the future.”

He added: “Over the past decade, Arada has delivered large, high-quality communities across multiple markets and in highly complex environments. We therefore have an exceptional ability to execute this major project with an ideal partner such as the Syrian Sovereign Fund. We are well positioned to work with the Syrian Sovereign Fund and share our experience and expertise, working together to create employment opportunities, develop local capabilities, support Syria’s business sector, and contribute to the growth of the national economy.”

Prince Khaled concluded: “Arada’s success has been built on our readiness to invest for the long term by working with ambitious partners who share our vision of creating exceptional, integrated communities.”

For his part, Mohammed Al-Khayyat, Director of the Real Estate Development Sector at the Syrian Sovereign Fund, said: “Syria welcomes the business community and companies from all countries around the world. There is no doubt that this partnership with Arada is strong evidence of that. The mission of the Syrian Sovereign Fund is to attract global investments that create long-term value for the Syrian people.”

Anyone know the fastest, most reliable internet provider in Homs? Preferably unlimited quota and decent speeds. Fiber if it's around. Curious what people are actually using and if it's holding up.
