00:00Welcome to Arab and international news.
00:12The American New York Times published an article in which the head of the Syrian regime, Bashar
00:19al-Assad, said that for years he was capable of defeating the opposition with the help
00:25of Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, and now, with the weakening of these allies or their
00:30lack of attention due to a special conflict, they are concerned about giving the opposition
00:35the opportunity to change the balance of power.
00:37The newspaper added that the armed factions' fighters spent months training and preparing
00:43for a sudden attack, but they may not even have expected how fast they were advancing.
00:50The article said that the analysts said that the timing of the attack and its success
00:58reveals to me the weaknesses of the Assad alliance, which was strong on the same day.
01:05The Washington Post reported that Iran sees in the ceasefire in Lebanon an opportunity
01:11to regain all its strength after the last setbacks it faced.
01:17In the article, Tehran sees in the ceasefire a victory for Hezbollah, but it works behind
01:22the scenes to reach a ceasefire and limit the losses of the Lebanese League and reduce
01:28the pressure temporarily on the head of the Iranian armed organization.
01:33The two newspapers also pointed out that the Iranian officials, who worked quietly behind
01:38the scenes to stop the ceasefire, admitted in a tactical way the damage that Israel
01:45inflicted on Hezbollah, which is an important tool in the Iranian response strategy.
01:52From Beirut to Khartoum, the Arab world is changing to a degree that makes it difficult
01:58to recognize it, as the British newspaper The Guardian reported.
02:03The article presented the crises and wars that many Arab countries are going through.
02:09At the same time, there is the civil war in Sudan, which has been going on for more than
02:14a year and a half, and the Israeli war in Gaza, Lebanon, and the recent events in Syria,
02:19with the control of factions opposed to areas in Aleppo and other developments.
02:24The author of the article said that these events have created a new climate in dealing
02:30with her Arab friends, who she met over the past few months with a repeated question
02:35about her state and the situation of her family.
02:38The author expressed the destruction that the major historical cities in the Arab world
02:43have suffered, showing that the scenes in different parts of the Arab world seem to be
02:49historically exceptional.
02:51It is also clear that many Arab countries are either divided due to conflicts or fighting
02:58to overcome human crises.
03:02In an article published by the Middle East newspaper London, titled
03:06The Crowd on the Syrian Table, the author talked about the complexity that many people
03:12feel as they follow the news coming from Syria, especially from Aleppo and its surroundings.
03:17He considered that this is the result of a number of reasons, including the international
03:22lines of conflict on the land of Syria, the change in programs and policies of some
03:27countries, and the conflict between the supporters and opponents, as is the case with
03:32the Syrian Democratic Forces in Qassad and in northern and eastern Syria, which are
03:37cooperating with the regime in military and service matters, but want self-government
03:42in their areas, which is what the Damascus authorities refuse.
03:46The author pointed out that the French colonization wanted to divide Syria,
03:51with a few countries based on two regional and sectarian foundations, the state of Damascus,
03:56the state of Aleppo, the state of Latakia, including the Alawites, and the state of
04:01Sweden in Druze.
04:03He sees that Syria, the country today, has become beyond the French plan.
04:10What does it mean to control the Syrian opposition in the city of Aleppo?
04:16The Arab Post discussed the strategic importance of Aleppo.
04:21The control over it constitutes, according to the author, a symbolic and strategic victory
04:26that strengthens its position in future negotiations and allows the opposition to establish
04:31a base of advanced operations against the regime's locations in other areas.
04:36As for supporting the opposition as Turkey, the control over Aleppo achieves its strategic
04:42goals in reducing the influence of the regime and Iran in the region.
04:47Turkey saw in defeating the opposition an opportunity to expand its influence and limit
04:52Russia's and Iran's intervention and force the Assad regime to negotiate, and thus
04:57solve the problem of Syrian refugees in its areas of control in northern Syria.
05:03As for Russia and Iran, the loss of the city weakens their support for the regime and
05:10weakens their ability to maneuver.
05:13We will see the two countries at the end of the program.
