Syrian Parliament:

The committee for drafting the internal regulations has completed the preparation of a preliminary draft, which has been legally approved and will be presented to the Assembly for a vote today, Sunday, July 26, 2026.

This is the second session of the People's Assembly in the current legislative term.

The committee was formed based on a decision by the Speaker of the People's Assembly and consists of 17 members. It met for four days last week to discuss and finalize the draft.

@Mena_Live

Main tasks for the upcoming months include:

- Assigning a committee of legal experts, including members of parliament with legal backgrounds, judges, and law professors, to draft a new [permanent] Syrian Constitution. The committee will have an advisory and technical role only, while parliament will debate, amend, and approve the final text.

- Issuing its first [binding] laws to create the legal framework for transitioning from indirect selection committees to broad, direct national elections once state infrastructure and voter rolls allow.

- Under Article 26 of Syria’s 2025 Interim Constitutional Declaration, approving the state’s general budget is a core legislative power of the People’s Assembly, meaning from now on Syria’s annual budget will be debated and voted on in parliament.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa:

We are working to reach a security agreement with Israel, involving a group of countries.

If the security agreement with Israel is successful, it will pave the way for a comprehensive peace without compromising Syria's right to the occupied Golan Heights.

It is the first time the Syrian President has used the term "peace" in connection with Israel, something which is of significant sensitivity within the Syrian population.

Israeli Journalist:

“There is no doubt that Trump was informed about the issue of interceptors before he gave the order to attack Iran.
He likely woke up in a panic and asked, "What about the interceptors?"
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Caine, and Vice President Pence responded in unison: "None!"
Trump replied:
"Okay, cancel everything now."”

Iranian military spokesperson:

"The U.S. has halted its attacks over the past two days, and accordingly, Iran has also ceased its reciprocal actions. The Iranian strategy was to retaliate for U.S. attacks."

The Israeli Ministerial Security Cabinet has approved the entry of the “Peace Council” and its affiliated International Stabilization Force (ISF)into the Gaza Strip.

UN-backed armed:

- Moroccan

- Indonesian

- Kazachstani

- Kosovo

Forces are now authorized to enter the Gaza Strip.

It has also approved the establishment of the force's base near Rafah, southern Gaza.

@Mena_Live

Israeli officials: “The Security Cabinet approved deploying the International Security Force (ISF) to the Gaza Strip, granting immunity under the "Immunities for International Organizations" law. The ISF will coordinate with the IDF beyond the security fence in areas outside IDF control.

Deployment requires approval from the Prime Minister, Defense Minister, and Foreign Minister. Israel will select participating nations based on peace agreements and non-hostility toward Israel. Approximately 200 representatives from friendly countries, including Uganda and Morocco, are involved.”

@Mena_Live

Israeli officials:

The IDF supported the deployment of the multinational force to Gaza under two conditions:

“1. No reconstruction activities should begin in the Strip yet (because Hamas has not yet agreed to disarm). While infrastructure work for the multinational force's base has already begun in the Gaza envelope, actual construction of "Green Rafah" – the area where Gazans will be housed under Israeli supervision and ISF control – has not yet started.

2. No countries hostile to Israel should be allowed to participate in the multinational force, particularly Turkey and Qatar.”
