Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has vowed to eliminate all "Takfiri jihadists" after rebel forces, led by jihadist groups, seized large parts of the northern city of Aleppo.
In a statement released on Saturday, Assad declared that Syria would continue to defend its territorial integrity and stability despite the ongoing attacks from these militant factions.
He expressed confidence that with the support of Syria’s allies, the government would defeat and dismantle the terrorist groups, no matter the intensity of their efforts.
This pledge comes as fighting intensifies in Aleppo, where the Syrian Army has been engaged in clashes to reclaim control from the insurgents.
The battle for Aleppo, which was recaptured by the Syrian government in 2016, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Syrian civil war.

Israel and Kurdish fighters should stop destabilising Syria, Turkish FM Hakan Fidan says

Iran is secretly rearming its regional proxies after the ceasefire with Israel, plotting a “silent revenge” against the U.S. and its allies. Houthi rebels have resumed Red Sea attacks, Hezbollah is regrouping despite major losses, and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are targeting vital oil fields. With Assad’s fall blocking key supply routes, Tehran is racing to rebuild its network of influence. U.S. officials warn Iran could use these proxies as leverage in future nuclear talks, raising fears of a renewed wave of proxy wars across the Middle East.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

#AhmedAlShara,
Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years.

Israel has launched one of its most daring operations inside Syria, sparking fears of an all-out war. A day after Israeli drone strikes killed six Syrian soldiers, IDF troops, fighter jets, and helicopters stormed a Syrian military site near Damascus in a rare ground raid. The two-hour mission saw Israeli forces land on a strategic hilltop before withdrawing. Syria accused Israel of violating international law, while Israel insists it was targeting Hezbollah-linked bases, raising tensions across the region.

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syria’s battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.
