Russia, a long-time ally of Assad, has labeled the opposition forces as 'terrorists' and emphasized that they must not be allowed to seize control of Syria.
This marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict, as Assad’s departure ends over five decades of Baath Party rule in the country.

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.

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure. Will this gamble reshape Syria—or haunt U.S. foreign policy?

Syrian troops have entered Sweida after Druze leaders approved military deployment to end deadly clashes with Bedouin groups. Over 100 people have been killed, including civilians and security forces, as violence spiraled across the province. Damascus imposed a curfew and declared a ceasefire following an agreement with Druze factions. This marks the first major military entry into Sweida since President Ahmed al-Sharaa assumed power. The government says troops aim to protect civilians and will respond only to attacks by outlawed factions.

Israel launched an airstrike on Syrian tanks approaching the Druze-dominated Sweida region, releasing chilling footage of the attack. The IDF says the strike was a defensive measure to protect the Druze minority and deter threats near Israel's border. Defense Minister Katz warned Syria against escalation. The move follows intense clashes in Sweida that killed over 80, including civilians. Israel has reiterated its vow to prevent hostile forces from gaining a foothold in southern Syria amid growing regional instability.

Russia has launched a scathing attack on UN Secretary-General António Guterres, accusing him of political bias and acting as a mouthpiece for NATO and the “criminal Kyiv regime.” Moscow condemned Guterres' recent comments on alleged Russian missile and drone strikes that supposedly caused a power outage at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia insists the real culprits were Ukrainian militants and blasted the IAEA for ignoring those attacks in its reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Guterres was spreading “fabricated lies” and violating the UN Charter by favoring one side. Moscow asserts that it ensures the plant's safety and only targets military sites, unlike Kyiv, which it accuses of systematic strikes on civilians. With accusations of double standards and a call to end disinformation, Russia warned that UN officials must return to neutrality or risk losing credibility on the global stage.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova mocked President Zelensky, claiming even Western allies are now “laughing in his face.” Zakharova said 17 rounds of sanctions have failed and the West sees no point in more. Zelensky made urgent appeals to the U.S. and Europe after Russian forces launched the largest attack since the war began, striking multiple cities, killing at least 12, and injuring dozens more across Ukraine.
