BERLIN – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, met for the first time Tuesday, spending more than an hour discussing the civil war in Syria and other joint matters. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the two met for an hour and 45 minutes, spending more than half that time on Syria in what she called a “really serious and hardworking session.” Kerry and Lavrov discussed how they could implement the so-called Geneva Agreement, which is designed to get the Syrian government and rebels to plan a transitional government for the time after President Bashar Assad leaves office. That discussion comes two days before nearly a dozen nations, excluding Russia, meet in Rome Thursday with the Syrian opposition to continue to try and find a way forward on resolving the conflict that has cost nearly 70,000 lives. Lavrov told Russian newswires that his talks with Kerry were “quite constructive.” “I have a feeling that President Barack Obama’s second a ...

Syria rebels free 21 UN peacekeepers Syrian rebels freed 21 U.N. peacekeepers on Saturday after holding them hostage for four days, ending a sudden entanglement with the world body that earned fighters trying to oust President Bashar Assad a flood of negative publicity. The episode is bound to prompt new questions about U.N. operations in war-torn Syria. The peacekeepers were part of a force that has spent four decades monitoring an Israeli-Syrian cease-fire without incident. The Filipino peacekeepers crossed from Syria to safety in Jordan on Saturday afternoon, said Mokhtar Lamani, the Damascus representative of the U.N.-Arab League peace envoy to Syria. U.N.

Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed to Fox News that the U.S. is training anti-Assad forces in the Syria conflict, saying Tuesday the hope is to convince President Bashar Assad to change his current calculation.

The two Syrias U.S. should focus on Syrian refugees Publisher: The Boston Globe / The Herald Author: Juliette Kayyem Story date: 04/03/2013 There is no longer one Syria. There are two: The war-torn lands within Syria's physical borders, and a second one represented by its refugees scattered throughout the Middle East. The exclusive focus on the how much and what kind of aid the United States gives to the Syrian rebels – and on whether they will win their war against President Bashar Assad – is a dangerous fixation. Even a victory by rebels would be followed by years of turmoil. But the United States can help the other Syria now. The numbers of people who have fled to neighboring countries can no longer be sustained, and keeping them safe will pay dividends long after the war in Syria is over. During his first international trip as secretary of state last week, John Kerry promised to increase aid to the Syrian opposition. While it is the first public acknowledgment of tangible assistance, it is far sho ...

SYRIA BATTLES NWO 3/13 DAMASCUS, Syria – Iran and Syria condemned a U.S. plan to assist rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad on Saturday and signaled the Syrian leader intends to stay in power at least until 2014 presidential elections. The remarks came against the backdrop of a strategic victory for the regime as the military regained control over a string of villages along a key highway to open a potential supply route in Syria's heavily contested north. The army command boasted of the achievement in a statement, saying it had eradicated the remnants of "terrorist agents and mercenaries" in the area that links the government-controlled central city of Hama with Aleppo's international airport. The reversal of gains, confirmed by Syrian activists, has the potential to change the outcome of the battle in Aleppo, Syria's largest city where government troops and rebels have been locked in a stalemate for months. Syrian rebels have long complained that they are hampered by the world's failure to ...

The head of Syria's rebels said Friday that the food and medical supplies the United States plans to give his fighters for the first time won't bring them any closer to defeating President Bashar Assad's forces in the country's civil war.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian warplanes carried out airstrikes on rebels trying to storm a police academy outside Aleppo on Wednesday, activists said, while jihadi fighters battled government troops along a key supply road leading to the southeastern part of the city, activists said. The latest fighting came as the new U.S. secretary of state said Washington is looking for more concrete ways to help the rebels in their fight to oust President Bashar Assad. Aleppo, Syria's largest city and former commercial capital, became a key front in the country's civil war after rebels launched an offensive there in July 2012. In months of bloody street fighting, opposition fighters have slowly expanded the turf under their control, although the combat has left much of the city in ruins. The police academy has recently emerged as a new front in the fight for the city, which is considered a major prize in the conflict. Activists say the government has turned the facility into a military base, using it to shell opposition area ...

7 SYRIANS HURT NEAR BORDER TAKEN TO ISRAELI HOSPITAL: Seven Syrians injured in fighting between government forces and armed opposition members in the Golan Heights near the border with Israel were evacuated by the IDF to a hospital in Safed on Saturday. An army spokeswoman said the men had arrived with injuries at the Israeli border fence, and received first aid from IDF soldiers on the scene. They were then rushed to a hospital for medical care where Israeli doctors on Saturday night saved the life of one of the Syrians who was in critical condition after being wounded in clashes between regime and rebel forces. Four other Syrians in the group were moderately injured and two suffered light injuries. The incident marked the first time that Syrians had been taken to Israel for medical treatment since the uprising against President Bashar Assad erupted some two years ago. "They asked for our help and we gave it," said a top Defense Ministry official. Earlier Saturday, Israeli media reported that Syrian rebe ...

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Russia and the Arab League proposed Wednesday to broker talks between the Syrian opposition and President Bashar Assad's regime to try to resolve the country's civil war, while a government airstrike on a rebellious Damascus suburb killed at least 20 people. The 23-month-old conflict in Syria, which has killed more than 70,000 people and laid waste to the country's cities, has repeatedly defied international efforts to bring the parties together to end the bloodshed. Wednesday's offer from Moscow, one of Assad's closest allies, suggested the regime could be warming to the idea of a settlement as it struggles to hold territory and claw back ground it has lost. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the Kremlin and the Arab League are attempting to establish direct contact between the Syrian regime and the opposition. Sitting down at the negotiating table is the only way to end the conflict without irreparably damaging Syria, he said. "Neither side can allow itself to rely on a ...

PROPHETIC TRENDS: ISRAEL GOD'S TIMEPIECE HEZBOLLAH, SYRIA, AND THE Golan Heights.EU BLINDNESS TO HEZBOLLAH'S THREAT IS A REPETITION OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 1930'S. The presence of a reported 50,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria to support President Bashar Assad is an indication of what Iran and Hezbollah have in mind – the preservation of Syria as a strategic asset in the regional power struggle. Losing Syria would leave Hezbollah isolated in Lebanon; a Syrian-Lebanese alliance, on the other hand, would allow Hezbollah to fortify Iranian interests in both countries. A future Syrian government would then comprise a Sunni-Hezbollah alliance, similar to the political structure in Lebanon, without Assad and the Alawites, who would become a minority protected by Hezbollah. Following the Lebanese model, Hezbollah in Syria would be a state-within-a-state, with its own army and political structure, allied with a weak, fragmented Islamist Sunni-dominated state. For Hezbollah this is the perfect solution ...

Iran points finger at Israel for IRGC general’s death, vows revenge - with 'Breaking News' at the end... DEBKAfile Special Report February 15, 2013, 7:29 PM (GMT+02:00) IRGC General Hassan Shateri The depth of Iran’s loss by the death of senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards general Hassan Shateri aka Hossam Khosh-Nevis was signified by the rank of mourners at his funeral in Iran Thursday, Feb. 15. Among them were Iran’s Defense Minister Ahmed Wahidi, Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi and Al Qods Brigades commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Gen. Shateri was in fact the live wire of the tremendous military effort Iran is investing in Syria for keeping President Bashar Assad in power, DEBKAfile’s Iran and Persian Gulf sources say. He acted additionally as the vital Iranian link in the military partnership between Assad and the Lebanese Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Iran is reported by Gulf intelligence sources to have initially drawn a veil of secrecy over the time and place of his death for fear . ...

Iranian general killed while traveling from Syria to Lebanon The slaying of Gen. Hassan Shateri is a strong indication that senior Iranian military commanders have been sent to Syria to aid President Bashar Assad's government. Mourners attend the funeral of Iranian Gen. Hassan Shateri, shown in the poster at center, Thursday in Tehran. Iran political bickering heats up as election approaches Iran's leader visits Cairo The assassination of Gen. Hassan Shateri was the strongest public indication to date that senior Iranian military commanders have been dispatched to war-ravaged Syria to assist the embattled government of President Bashar Assad. Details about the general's death remained sketchy Thursday, two days after he was reported slain en route from Damascus, the Syrian capital, to Beirut. Iranian authorities were mum on whether he was killed on Syrian or Lebanese soil. If Shateri's death occurred in Syria, as is widely suspected, the general would be the first senior Iranian commander publicly known t ...

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels captured most of an eastern oil field and stormed a military base in the south, anti-regime activists said Thursday, further chipping away at President Bashar Assad's hold on the country's hinterlands. Although Assad's regime does not appear on the brink of collapse, rebels seeking his ouster have scored a string of strategic victories over the past week, also seizing a large dam and the defenses around a major airport. These and other blows have shrunk the portion of the country that Assad effectively governs and could deprive his regime of resources necessary for its survival. On Thursday, rebels took control of the town of Shadadah along the Euphrates River in eastern Syria, and had seized most of the nearby Jbeysa oil field, one of country's largest, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The conquests came after three days of battles. Videos posted online in the last three days showed dozens of bearded rebels looting a large red building and ...

Not to Damascus   At Cairo airport before flying home, I notice the departure board. It lists Tel Aviv, but not Damascus. Waiting at the gate, I hear announcements of EgyptAir flights to all kinds of places — Beirut, Casablanca, Abu Dhabi — but not Damascus. In 1958, in the days of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt and Syria joined up in a state called the United Arab Republic. It lasted less than four years, but it shows how close these countries have been historically. Now Egypt’s national airline doesn’t fly there. Neither does anyone else. Damascus International Airport is pretty much shut down. Fighting between the forces of President Bashar Assad and the rebels trying to bring him down is close to the airport, about 15 miles outside the capital, and airlines won’t take the risk of flying in. Even envoys and citizens from Russia, Assad’s main ally, drive from Damascus to Beirut and use the Lebanese airport to fly home. The civil war has been tearing Syria apart for two years now. The UN says mor ...

Syrian army deserters speak of regime 'atrocities' Assad forces destroy 'entire villages' in search for defectors By Omar Obeidat AMMAN –– Syrian refugees in Jordan spoke on Tuesday about the "atrocities" committed by President Bashar Assad's forces and militias to flush out soldiers who deserted the army to avoid killing civilians. In interviews with The Jordan Times, they said regime forces and pro-Assad militias known as shabiha have tortured many residents of villages close to the Jordanian border to force them to give information about the locations of rebels and defected soldiers. They said entire villages would be punished for hosting soldiers who decided to put down their guns. A former soldier in the Syrian army, who wanted to be identified as Abu Sofian, said Assad forces had destroyed his house and the houses of his brothers after he decided to put down his gun and desert the army to avoid killing peaceful demonstrators. “I had to run away because if I refuse to follow orders to kill prot ...

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels scored one of their biggest strategic victories Monday since the country's crisis began two years ago, capturing the nation's largest dam and iconic industrial symbol of the Assad family's four-decade rule. Rebels led by the al-Qaida-linked militant group Jabhat al-Nusra now control much of the water flow in the country's north and east, eliciting warnings from experts that any mistake in managing the dam may drown wide areas in Syria and Iraq. A Syrian government official denied that the rebels captured the dam, saying "heavy clashes are taking place around it." The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. But amateur video released by activists showed gunmen walking around the facility's operations rooms and employees apparently carrying on with their work as usual. In the capital, Damascus, the rebels kept the battle going mostly in northeastern and southern neighborhoods as the fighting gets closer to the heart of President Bashar Assad's seat of ...

Syrian army, rebels battle for key Damascus highway: Opposition to President Bashar Assad brings the fight to th...

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian troops backed by warplanes battled rebels for control of a key highway in Damascus Saturday, a day after opposition forces cut the strategic artery as part of what they say are efforts to lay the groundwork for an eventual assault on the heavily defended capital. Rebels have been on the offensive in Damascus since launching a series of attacks on government positions on Wednesday. They brought their fight to within a mile of the heart of the capital on Friday, seizing army checkpoints and cutting a key highway as they pressed their campaign for the city, the seat of President Bashar Assad's power. The fighting is the heaviest to hit Damascus since July, when a first rebel assault managed to capture several neighborhoods before a punishing government counteroffensive. After that rebel foray, the regime quickly reasserted its control over the city, which has spared Damascus much of the violence and destruction that the civil war has wrought on other major urban centers. Both the rebel ...

Israel will ‘regret’ attacks on Syria – Iranian Security Head by NewsBot Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary and the country's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili (AFP Photo / Prakash Singh) Israel will regret its attack against Syria, a top Iranian official has warned during a visit to Damascus. The remarks come as Israel is reportedly planning to set up a buffer zone along its border with Syria to guard against Islamist fighters. The results of the attack would be bad for Israel, like those suffered during previous conflicts initiated by Tel Aviv, such as the 34-day war with Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in 2006, said Saeed Jalili, head of Iran’s National Security Council. "Today, too, both the people and the government of Syria are serious regarding the issue. And also the Islamic community is supporting Syria," Reuters quoted Jalili as saying. The remarks came on Monday shortly after similar statements by Syria. Top Syrian officials, including President Bashar Assad, warne ...

Behind-scenes blows and triumphs, a hint of Clinton's future Michael R. Gordon and Mark Landler, The New York Times | Updated: February 03, 2013 11:27 IST Washington: Last summer, as the fighting in Syria raged and questions about the United States' inaction grew, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton conferred privately with David H. Petraeus, the director of the CIA. The two officials were joining forces on a plan to arm the Syrian resistance. The idea was to vet the rebel groups and train fighters, who would be supplied with weapons. The plan had risks, but it also offered the potential reward of creating Syrian allies with whom the United States could work, both during the conflict and President Bashar Assad's eventual removal. Clinton and Petraeus presented the proposal to the White House, according to administration officials. But with the White House worried about the risks, and with President Barack Obama in the midst of a re-election bid, they were rebuffed. A year earlier, she had better lu ...

Syrian opposition bashes Assad for inaction against Israel In worrying hint of post-Assad Syria, rebel leaders complain that regime’s planes and helicopters bomb civilian homes but do nothing when Israeli jets attack February 1, 2013 EIRUT (AP) — Syrian opposition leaders and rebels on Friday slammed President Bashar Assad for not responding to a rare Israeli airstrike near Damascus, calling it proof of his weakness and acquiescence to the Jewish State. The opposition’s sharp reaction underlines how those seeking to topple the Syrian leader might be more prepared to tangle with Israel if they came to power. Wednesday’s Israeli airstrike that US officials say hit a convoy of anti-aircraft weapons bound for the militant Lebanese Hezbollah group also has fueled rage among many Syrians who say they now must fear warplanes from both Assad’s forces and Israel. “Assad never once in his life stood up to Israel,” said Kamal Labwani, a prominent Syrian dissident and member of the Syrian National Coali ...

WORLD NEWS - RUSSIA - SYRIA RUSSIAN COMMENTARY HIGHLIGHTS JIHADIST THREAT TO RUSSIA, IN CONNECTION WITH SYRIA anuary 31, 2013 • 11:00AM An article in the Russian weekly Zavtra, issued today, indicates the serious threats to Russia's security, perceived from Moscow in connection with foreign-supported operations to overthrow President Bashar Assad of Syria. The jihadist threat to the North Caucasus, in particular, is being discussed by Russian analysts in connection with the January 25 CNN interview of Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, recorded in Davos, Switzerland (see Morning Briefing, Jan. 28). According to the Zavtra article by Alexander Nagorny, at the point when CNN's Fareed Zakaria asked Medvedev about the spread of radical jihadism, saying, "You will face this in your backyard," at least some versions of the program as aired in Russia displayed a map of southern Russia, showing arrows marked "Islamic Jihad" and pointed into the Russian North Caucasus: Dagestan, Ingushetia, Chechnya, and Kabardi .. ...

BEIRUT -- A new video game based on Syria's civil war challenges players to make the hard choices facing the country's rebels. Is it better to negotiate peace with the regime of President Bashar Assad, for example, or dispatch jihadist fighters to kill pro-government thugs?

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's foreign minister invited the country's rebels on Saturday to lay down their weapons and take part in a national dialogue, saying everyone who participates will be included in a new Cabinet with wide executive powers. Walid al-Moallem said in a live interview on state TV late Saturday that any opposition parties could join the Cabinet as long as they reject foreign intervention in Syria. The Syrian government has started contacting "representatives of the Syrian people," he added. Earlier this month, President Bashar Assad dismissed calls that he step down, vowing to keep fighting the rebels. Assad also proposed a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new constitution — concessions offered previously over the course of the uprising that began in March 2011. The opposition says that Assad can play no role in a resolution to the conflict. "I tell the young men who carried arms to change and reform, take part in the dialogue for a new Syria and you will be a partner in ...

Dozens killed in blasts at Syria university Opposition and government blame each other for the explosions • Rebels say forces loyal to Assad launched airstrikes • The scale of destruction appeared inconsistent with the rockets the rebels are known to possess. The Associated Press and Israel Hayom Staff Twin blasts ripped through a university campus in Syria's largest city on Tuesday as students were taking exams, setting cars alight, blowing the walls off dormitory rooms and killing more than 80 people, according to anti-regime activists and a government official. The opposition and the government blamed each other for the explosions inside Aleppo University, which marked a major escalation in the struggle for control of the hotly contested commercial hub. Activists said forces loyal to President Bashar Assad launched two airstrikes on the area, while Syrian state media said a "terrorist group" — the government's shorthand for rebels — hit it with two rockets. Either way, the explosions shattered ...

Rebels say have seized helicopter base in Syria BEIRUT/GENEVA (Reuters) -- Rebels seized control of one of Syria's largest helicopter bases on Friday, opposition sources said, in their first capture of a military airfield used by President Bashar Assad's forces. Fighting raged across the country as international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi sought a political solution to Syria's civil war, meeting senior US and Russian officials in Geneva. But the two world powers are still deadlocked over Assad's fate in any transition. The United States, which backs the 21-month-old revolt, says Assad can play no future role, while Syria's main arms supplier Russia said before the talks that his exit should not be a precondition for negotiations.

The most recent performance advertised on the Damascus Opera House website is for an evening of choral music conducted by the Russian Victor Babenko last May. President, Bashar al-Assad, clearly felt capable of commanding the same stage. More than 1,000 supporters were allowed into the main hall to witness his political recital. Mr Assad repeated the two principal lines of argument that he has employed since the start of the conflict in March 2011 - the opposition is led by foreign terrorists and must be defeated; his own administration is willing to carry out reforms. The most lasting image from Mr Assad's appearance may come from the moments after his speech. Dozens of supporters surged towards the president - almost prefiguring the frenzy that might happen if the opposition got to him. The president waved, and struggled to leave the stage. For Syria's opposition, that is the entire problem.

Syrian President Bashar Assad struck a defiant tone, saying Syria will not take dictates from anyone

I am very proud that I am Syrian ...&bashar al Assad is my president

  By Hussein Dakroub The (Beirut, Lebanon) Daily Star Published: January 5, 2013   BEIRUT, Lebanon -- What Hezbollah will do if and when the regime of Syria’s embattled President Bashar Assad is toppled by the widening armed rebellion is of increasing concern to the Lebanese.   Also, Arab and foreign countries have repeatedly voiced concerns through their ambassadors in Beirut over the country’s stability and security in a post-Assad era.   The issue has gained much credence in recent weeks amid growing signs pointing to predictions of the “imminent collapse” of the Assad regime by senior Western officials as well as Syrian rebel and opposition groups.   The past few weeks have witnessed major developments in favor of the Syrian opposition, auguring ill for the Assad regime, which has clearly failed to crush the rising popular uprising despite the excessive use of military force, including warplanes to pound rebel positions since the revolt began in March 2011.   Political analysts ...

BEIRUT -- Syria's state run news agency says President Bashar Assad will deliver a speech on Sunday in a rare address to the nation. SANA said Saturday that Assad will speak about the latest developments in Syria.

BEIRUT , JAN 04 - The United Nations gave a grim new count Wednesday of the human cost of Syria's civil war, saying the death toll has exceeded 60,000 in 21 months — far higher than recent estimates by anti-regime activists. The day's events illustrated the escalating violence that has made recent months the deadliest of the conflict: As rebels pressed a strategy of attacking airports and pushing the fight closer to President Bashar Assad's stronghold in Damascus, the government responded with deadly airstrikes on restive areas around the capital. A missile from a fighter jet hit a gas station in the suburb of Mleiha, killing or wounding dozens of people who were trapped in burning piles of debris, activists said. Gruesome online video showed incinerated victims — one still sitting astride a motorcycle — or bodies torn apart. "He's burning! The guy is burning!" an off-camera voice screamed in one video over a flaming corpse. It was unclear if the government had a military strategy for attacking the ...

"NETANYAHU: ISRAEL IS PREPARING FOR DRAMATIC CHANGES IN SYRIA: PM Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel is getting ready for the downfall of President Bashar Assad's regime in Syria, and the implications this will have for the regime's chemical weapons cache. Speaking at cabinet meeting, the prime minister said Israel "is following dramatic developments in Syria, cooperating with the US and the international community, and taking the necessary steps to prepare for the possibility of radical changes to the regime with all the consequences these may hold for networks of sensitive weapons." The most reliable evidence of Assad's deteriorating position has been the firing of Scud missiles at rebel strongholds in Syria's north. NATO's Secretary-General Rasmusen said Friday the Syrian military has continued to fire Scud-type missiles against anti-government forces, describing the move as an act of desperation of a regime nearing its end. The Scud is the regime's second to the last resource, superseded only by the us ...

aleppo, syria — The capture of a hydroelectric dam in northern Syria on Monday is the latest attempt by government opponents to cut off the military's supply lines around Aleppo and drive them out, say Syrian anti-government activists. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) said its fighters overran the defenses of President Bashar Assad after several days of skirmishes to capture the Tishrin Dam on the Euphrates River, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an anti-Assad group based in England. The dam is on a route that connects to Aleppo, a major city fought over for months by anti-Assad rebels and Assad loyalists. "This is a major blow to the regime," said observatory spokesman Abdul-Rahman, describing the dam as a "strategic location." Opposition fighters have made gains against Assad's forces in recent weeks. The FSA, a collection of revolutionaries and ex-members of Assad's military, says its fighters also forced out Assad troops from the Marj al-Sultan air base about 10 miles outside Damascus. The cl ...

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) -- President Mahmoud Abbas has contacted the UN and regional countries to try to find a solution for Palestinian refugees fleeing Syria amid fighting in a Damascus neighborhood, his spokesman said Wednesday. Abbas wants the Palestinians in Syria to be able to return to Palestine to avoid the worsening conflict between President Bashar Assad and rebel forces, Nabil Abu Rudaineh told Ma'an. The president is making intensive contacts with the UN secretary-general and Arab states to help the refugees, he said. More than 1,000 Palestinian refugees crossed into Lebanon in the past 24 hours, a source at the Lebanese border said Tuesday.

Fatah said Wednesday that m ...

Jabhat al-Nusra Syria's jihadists Dec 17th 2012, 18:20 by Economist.com | ALEPPO "WE DON'T want the criminal army," chanted protesters at a recent demonstration in Aleppo, referring to the fighters of the Free Syrian Army. "We want the Islamist army!” they continued. Twenty-one months into Syria’s uprising-turned-insurgency against President Bashar Assad, the influence of Islamist groups has grown, none more so than the most extreme of the lot: Jabhat al-Nusra. The group, which boasts about 7,000 fighters, has declared a global jihad and is the only battalion recognised by al-Qaeda. According to America, it is an offshoot of the terrorist group's Iraqi branch. Since the group first claimed responsibility for a bombing in Damascus in January, it has been behind many of the rebels' gains in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor and around Aleppo, Syria's second city. A recent video from the dusty eastern province bordering Iraq shows the group's fighters streaming along in cars and at least one armoured ve ...

SYRIA Russian-American Joint: Ultimatum to Assad? We Urgently Need a "Political Solution" Damascus (Agenzia Fides) - Russia and the United States are getting ready to order a joint ultimatum to President Bashar Assad through the special envoy of the UN and the Arab League, Lakhdar Brahimi, in order for him to leave power "with dignity." According to the news, reported today by the French newspaper "Le Figaro", Washington and Moscow seem to have "exchanged the names" of leaders who could appear in the transitional government. According to sources, the key to understanding the changed attitude of the Russian Government on the Syrian crisis lies in the possibility for Russia to play a role in post-Assad Syria, exploiting the connections created in the past years through the University Lumumba in Moscow, where different Syrian leaders formed. Among these there are also people who will be able to be part of the political leadership in the post-Assad. A confidential source revealed to Fides that one of the high ...

December 13, 2012 Russian Envoy Says Syrian Leader Is Losing Control By ELLEN BARRY and RICK GLADSTONE MOSCOW — Russia’s top Middle East diplomat and the leader of NATO offered dark and strikingly similar assessments of the embattled Syrian president’s future on Thursday, asserting that he was losing control of the country after a nearly two-year conflict that has taken 40,000 lives and has threatened to destabilize the Middle East. The bleak appraisals — particularly from Russia, a steadfast strategic Syrian ally — amounted to a new level of pressure on the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, who has been resorting to increasingly desperate military measures, including the use of Scud ballistic missiles, to contain an armed insurgency that has encroached on the capital, Damascus. The Russian diplomat, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, acknowledged that Mr. Assad’s forces could be defeated by rebels, whom the Syrian leader has repeatedly dismissed as ragtag foreign-backed terrorists wit ...

Forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad fired the Soviet-era designed missiles in recent days, Obama administration officials said, in a move that represented a significant escalation in the fighting.

didn't fire missiles in out of desperation. He is warning + that he can strike outside Syria. This is the same reason that the regime recently showed that it had chemical weapons. The SCUD missiles are also part of that warning to the West - SCUD missiles are capable of carrying chemical weapons as well, and their range allows them to target Turkey and Israel. The regime is attempting to deter outside military intervention. It is not a sign of desperation or that the regime is collapsing. Military defections have fallen dramatically and Assad still has a massive, well-equipped conventional military. The FSA will eventually win, there is no doubt, but this war is far from over and will continue for a long time.

'I am with President Bashar Al Assad more now than I ever was' ~ Sleiman Frangieh on MTV

Syria: from revolution to all-out war By Herve Bar (AFP) – 27 minutes ago ATME, Syria — Syria's uprising has shifted from popular street protests against President Bashar al-Assad to a full-fledged war, increasingly influenced by armed Islamists, in a far cry from the idealism of the Arab Spring. The fervour born in March 2011 for democratic reforms still runs high, but the initial peaceful protests against Assad's regime have been overtaken by the government forces' brutal crackdown. Backed by the country's Sunni Muslim majority against Assad, whose Alawite faith stems from Shiite Islam, the rebels launched the battle with arms smuggled into Syria, collected by defectors or bought from corrupt army officers. Now nearly 21 months into the revolt, the insurgents control large swathes of rural territory as well as a number of medium-sized towns, say AFP correspondents on the ground. In northwest Syria, they hold sway from Aleppo all the way to the Turkish border, although the metropolis itself remains t ...

The bloodshed in Gaza has now sharpened their competition for influence with the Palestinian militant group and the direction it takes in the future. Qatar has sought to use its vast wealth to win over Hamas with investments and humanitarian aid and encouraging Arab partners to do the same — part of the hyper-rich U.S. allied nation's broader campaign to bring under its wing Islamist moveme ...

AIRO (AP) -- The Gaza cease-fire deal reached Wednesday marks a startling trajectory for Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi: an Islamist leader who refuses to talk to Israelis or even say the country's name mediated for it and finally turned himself into Israel's de facto protector. The accord inserts Egypt to an unprecedented degree into the conflict between Israel and Hamas, establishing it as the arbiter ensuring that militant rocket fire into Israel stops and that Israel allows the opening of the long-blockaded Gaza Strip and stops its own attacks against Hamas. In return, Morsi emerged as a major regional player. He won the trust of the United States and Israel, which once worried over the rise of an Islamist leader in Egypt but throughout the week-long Gaza crisis saw him as the figure most able to deliver a deal with Gaza's Hamas rulers. "I want to thank President Morsi for his personal leadership to de-escalate the situation in Gaza and end the violence," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clin ...

President Bashar Assad is behind this conflict in Gaza. When in the last 6 days have you heard about the civil war in Syria where around 30,000 people have been killed!

DOHA, Qatar — Syrian anti-government groups struck a deal Sunday under intense international pressure to form a new opposition leadership that will include representatives from the country's disparate factions fighting to topple President Bashar Assad's regime, activists said. The opposition has been deeply divided for months despite the relentless bloodshed in Syria and repeated calls from their Western and Arab supporters to create a cohesive and representative leadership that could present a single conduit for foreign aid. The agreement, reached Sunday after more than a week of meetings in the Qatari capital of Doha, could boost efforts to secure international support – and potentially weapons – that will be crucial in the war to oust Assad. "We have agreed on the broad platform and all (opposition) parties, without any exception, support this initiative," said Ali Sadr el-Din Bayanouni, a former Syrian Muslim Brotherhood leader who took part in the talks. He said the new leadership will be calle ...

ISRAEL DRAWN INTO SYRIA FIGHTING FOR FIRST TIME By JOSEF FEDERMAN | Associated Press – Sun, Nov 11, 2012 J ERUSALEM (AP) — Israel was drawn into the fighting in neighboring Syria for the first time Sunday, firing warning shots across the border after an errant mortar shell landed near an Israeli military installation in the Golan Heights. While Israel appeared eager to calm the situation, its response was a potent reminder of how easily the Syrian civil war — already spilling across borders with Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan — could explode into a wider regional conflagration. Israeli officials threatened even tougher retaliation if attacks persist. They have feared that the instability in Syria over the past 19 months could spill across the border into Israel, particularly as President Bashar Assad's grip on power grows increasingly precarious. Israel has little love for Assad, who has provided refuge and support to Israel's bitterest enemies through the years. But the Syrian leader — and his fath ...

BEIRUT - Syrian rebels made a new push into Damascus on Wednesday, clashing heavily with troops in the rebellious suburbs of the capital and firing mortars at a presidential palace and a Palestinian refugee camp, activists said. The regime stronghold of Damascus has seen a surge in violence this week with some of the fiercest clashes in months. In recent days, opposition fighters also stepped up assaults on high-ranking supporters of President Bashar Assad in the capital. The rebels also have been trying to break the resistance of a pro-government Palestinian faction, which could drag the half million Palestinian refugees in Syria into the civil war. The new challenge from rebels in the capital comes as the U.S. and Britain take steps to bolster the fragmented Syrian opposition. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his government planned to change its policy and deal directly with opposition military leaders. Previously, Britain has had contacts only with exile groups and political opposition figures ...

by Maayana Miskin Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu negotiated with Syrian President Bashar Assad and was willing to give up the entire Golan region in exchange for peace, Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot has reported. The staff in Netanyahu’s office say the report is false. According to the report, Netanyahu and Assad communicated via United States intermediaries. Contact began in fall 2010 and ended with the outbreak of widespread rioting in Syria which developed into a civil war. Defense Minister Ehud Barak was reportedly involved in the talks as well. The report is based on classified American documents. Those involved in the secret negotiations were required to sign forms committing them to total silence in the matter, but several officials were mentioned by name in the report, among them former Military Secretary to the Prime Minister Yochanan Locker, advisor for national security Uzi Arad, and Barak’s military secretary, Brigadier-General (reserves) Yitzchak Herzog. An American source quoted b ...
