“I’m defending the occupier, the always-winner, a country with nuclear-weapons and with one of the strongest Air Force in the world against people who have nothing” — Former Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dries van Agt

The new Syrian parliament is expected to exercise legislative powers within the boundaries of sharia/fiqh, which the 2025 constitutional declaration defines as the main source of legislation.

Israel’s military (IDF) has presented a comprehensive, detailed report to the Israeli government, stating that Hamas is dangerously fast restoring itself — Kan Hebrew

@Mena_Live

- The document was likely prepared by the new Mossad director, a Netanyahu loyalist, which is why Netanyahu appointed him to that position.

- While it may be true that Hamas is strengthening, it is a last-ditch attempt by Netanyahu to justify launching new ground operations in an already heavily destroyed Gaza ahead of the Israeli General Election.

‎The Syrian government has published the names of the 70 new members of parliament appointed by the president. With these appointments, the assembly now has the required number of members to convene its first session.

The head of the Supreme Committee for the new Syrian Parliament elections calls on the Parliament to convene next Monday to take the oath of office.

- The term of the new will be 30 months, which can be extended.

- The Parliament will review previous decrees (issued by president al Sharaa), and there are a number of laws that everyone is awaiting the issuance of.

- The Kurdish component is an authentic component that we are proud of. We did not rely on quotas in filling the third of the seats, but on competencies and national figures.

The governor of the central bank of Turkey:

The Turkish lira will be gradually withdrawn from Syrian regions.

@Mena_Live

Three possible positive effects:

- Stronger Syrian pound – Higher demand for the Syrian currency could support its value.

- Greater economic sovereignty – Syria would have more control over its own monetary system instead of relying on the Turkish lira.

- More unified economy – Using one national currency across more regions can make trade, taxation, and government administration simpler.

Approx 1,000 members of the Kurdish-led SDF are preparing to head to Damascus to participate in a military training course as part of their integration into the 60th Division of the Syrian Arab Army.
