Lebanon and Syria have agreed to establish a joint technical committee to advance the long-stalled railway link between the Port of Tripoli and Syria’s border crossing at Abboudieh, a step that would extend the port’s hinterland reach toward Homs and onward regional corridors.

Syrian port traffic has aggressively surged, with 945 vessels handled at Latakia and Tartus in H1 2026 — about 425% above the 2024 figure. The two ports processed nearly 8 million tonnes of cargo, including almost 5 million tonnes at Tartus alone.

Meanwhile, DP World has delivered three new mobile harbour cranes to Tartus, expected to raise cargo-handling capacity by ~40%, as part of its $800 million, 30-year modernisation programme.

According to sources in the Syrian People's Assembly:

The Syrian People's Assembly has scheduled a hearing for the Minister of Education, Muhammad Abdul Rahman Turk, for Monday, September 14th.

Meaning the Syrian Parliament will hold its first ever independent hearing of a government Minister.

@Mena_Live

Why this is important: Syria’s new People’s Assembly is beginning to exercise parliamentary oversight by directly questioning a government minister — something that did not occur independently under Assad’s rule.
