Kassioun Editorial 1230: Statement by the People’s Will Party’s Central Council on the “Israeli” Aggression Against Iran

On Friday, June 13, 2025, and with blatant American complicity, “Israel” launched an unprecedented, large-scale aggression against Iran, despite ongoing negotiations on the Iranian nuclear file. Numerous countries around the world and in our region condemned this aggression, most notably the clear and justified condemnations issued by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, along with condemnations from all Arab countries.

Kassioun Editorial 1229: How Do We Win the “War on Poverty”?

The current authorities, represented by Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa, raised the slogan “War on Poverty” a few days ago. This is a justified and ambitious slogan, one that resonates with the desires of more than 90% of Syrians who have lived below the poverty line for years.

Kassioun Editorial 1228: How Do We Measure Real Growth and Progress?

The experiences of Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, and others teach us that the mere collapse of a ruling authority does not necessarily mean the fall of the ruling regime in its socioeconomic dimension – that is, the manner of distributing wealth and dealing with the country, its economy, and the rights of its people, whether in the national, democratic, or social sense. Those experiences also teach us that the collapse of a tyrannical and plundering regime cannot turn into a true and complete victory for the oppressed and plundered people unless it is complemented by building of a radically different new system – one that is socioeconomically just, democratic, and patriotic. One that preserves the sovereignty and wealth of its country, and through which the people can govern themselves.

Kassioun Editorial 1227: After Lifting Sanctions, Which Model Do We Want?

Since Assad fled – nearly six months ago – we have, through Kassioun, repeatedly said:

US sanctions will not be lifted anytime soon, and let’s work to relaunch the Syrian economy, whether the sanctions are lifted or not, while continuing to demand lifting them.

Kassioun Editorial 1225: Syrian Cohesion and the Destructive Zionist Role

Over the past 14 years, based on the state of war and total chaos, “Israel” has been able to achieve widespread penetration and infiltration within the ranks of a large number of Syrian sides, through active and dormant cells that carry out multiple tasks ranging from monitoring and gathering information, to spreading rumors and sectarian and nationalist incitement (including via social media). The tasks also include direct tangible roles that involve assassinations, killings, and sabotage operations, not to mention the overt military role of the Zionist entity’s army, and the overt political role calling for partitioning and ending Syria altogether.

Kassioun Editorial 1223: Syria and the Global Development Trends

The trend of decline and retreat among Western powers in general, and the US in particular, is rapidly growing at all levels: economic, political, military, and cultural. This is something that Kassioun has repeatedly emphasized, proactively, over the past 25 years. It has now become a tangible reality, the effects of which are constantly being revealed. Its major impacts, in the historical sense, are still only a few steps away, and have significantly affected and will continue to affect our Syrian situation.
