Syrian and international parties continue to talk about what they call the “step for step” plan. In parallel, there continue to be media-political analyses and readouts, classifying this or that detail of what is happening in and around Syria as part of the implementation of said plan. However, the unanswered question remains: What is this “step for step”?
The al-Aqsa Flood, and the subsequent Zionist aggression that continues to this day, has occupied the entire political and media attention space in our region, and to some extent in the entire world, for more than two months. This is expected because this file has great importance and impacts on all local, regional, and international files.
Kassioun’s last editorial, titled: “The Truce, the Beginning of Recognizing Palestinian Victory”, presented the set of goals declared by the enemy at the beginning of its aggression against Gaza, and showed its failure to achieve any of them, and that its mere acceptance of the truce carries within it a partial admission of its failure to achieve those goals.
Throughout its recent aggression against Gaza, the Zionist entity continued to reject any talk about a ceasefire, and even refused to talk about any truce. However, in the end it submitted to a temporary four-day truce that began last Friday, including an exchange of prisoners.
In the mid-1990s, many were crying over the ruins of the Soviet Union and submitting to the proclamations of the end of history and the final victory of the West and capitalism. Meanwhile, we said that this particular collapse would pave the way towards a complete exposure of the global capitalist crisis, which would lead towards a rapid decline of the Western system leading to its collapse. This is what happened and is happening, though we were accused of insanity at the time.
Tomorrow, Saturday, a regular meeting of the Syrian Negotiating Commission will be held, and today a meeting took place between the members of the commission and the special envoys for the Syrian file of a group of countries, including the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
An extraordinary joint Arab-OIC summit was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday November 11, 2023, under the title “Discussing the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people”. The summit concluded with issuing a final statement that included 31 items, most of which focused on “denuncing and condemning”, without any accompanying concrete actions, except within narrow limits.
Forces hostile to the “al-Aqsa Flood” are divided – at the local, regional, and international levels – into two basic categories: overt enemies and covert enemies.
As for the overt enemies, it is not difficult to pinpoint them; they are headed by Washington, along with majority of Western governments and the “Abraham Accords” governments, who do not try to contain their hostility not only to Palestinian resistance, but also to Palestine and the Palestinian people, who stand as an impenetrable barrier to all their plans and undermine them altogether.
On Monday, October 23, the “Arab World Press” (Arabic) quoted Mr. Boutros Merjaneh, a member of the Syrian People’s Assembly and head of its Arab and Foreign Affairs Committee, as saying: “I believe that the current situation may be too complicated for Syria to take any military action against Israel at the present time”. It is not known whether this opinion is his personal opinion, the opinion of the committee, or an expression of the opinion of others who are not expressing their opinion. In any case, it is a statement that brings to the fore a very important question: How can Syria have an effective role in the ongoing battle? This battle does not concern Palestine alone, but rather concerns the entire region, and concerns Syria in particular, perhaps more so than others.
Today, Wednesday, the Special Representative of the Russian President for Middle Eastern and African Affairs, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, met with the representative of the leadership of the Syrian Opposition Front for Change and Liberation, head of the Moscow Platform for the Syrian Opposition, and Secretary of the Popular Will Party, Dr. Kadri Jamil.
