00:00And now we begin with the information as Hayat Tahir al-Sham extremists meet with Syrian
00:05Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi al-Yalili to agree on transition terms as chaos grips Damascus
00:11and other Syrian provinces.
00:14The Prime Minister assured in statements to Arab media that almost the entire executive
00:18cabinet is in Damascus and that they aspire to a transitional with social, economic and
00:25political guarantees.
00:26However, while these talks are taking place in a hotel in the capital, extremist militants
00:32sacked the government palace, stormed the Iranian embassy and freed several terrorists
00:36from the prison of Sadnaya.
00:39On the other side of the country, the troops of the Israeli occupier stormed the Golan
00:44Heights with a land intervention and Syrian pro-Kurdish groups fight fierce battles against
00:50Syrian pro-Turkish groups.
00:52In this context, the Prime Minister spoke about the need to preserve public institutions.
00:57Dear Syrians, who are dear to my heart, and who I am to you and you are to me.
01:24I am at home.
01:25I did not leave it because I belong to this country and I do not know any other country
01:30other than my homeland.
01:32In these times when people feel anxiety and fear, although they are all keen in this country
01:38and its institutions and facilities, I am keen on the public facilities of the state,
01:43which does not belong to me and does not belong to anyone else, but belongs to all Syrians.
01:51Therefore, we extend our hand to all Syrians who are keen on the facilities in this country,
01:56and that is to preserve its facilities.
01:59I urge all citizens not to touch any public property, because in the end it is their property
02:06and I am at home.
02:08I did not leave it and I do not intend to leave it, except in a peaceful way, to ensure
02:13the continuation of the work of public institutions and facilities of the state, and to spread
02:20security and resurgence to the citizens, that everyone will think rationally, and to think
02:27about their homeland and their country.
02:29We extend our hand even to the opponents who extended their hand and ensure that they did
02:34not touch anyone belonging to the Syrian homeland.
02:37I have always worked day and night in the private sector, in the public sector and in
02:42the government, and in front of my eyes I see the interest of this country, and the
02:48interest of this country, and we believe in Syria, for all Syrians, and that it is
02:54the country of all its people, and that this country can live in peace.
03:06In this context, terrorist groups robbed and looted the Central Bank of Syria in Damascus,
03:12and local sources assured that the opposition groups transferred part of the money from
03:17the Central Bank to unknown destinations, while another sum was extracted in cash on
03:22bags.
03:23At the same time, the Iranian embassy in Damascus was also vandalized, with diplomats fleeing
03:28the building to protect their lives.
03:37And now let's recap what has happened in the last hours.
03:41Rebel terrorist forces have seized detention centers, public media, and the government
03:45palace in Damascus.
03:47These groups shared images of their advances towards the city, where desolated provinces
03:53such as Deir ez-Zor could be appreciated.
03:57On the other hand, despite the agreement between the leaders of the violent revolt and the
04:01Syrian government to carry out an organized transition, in the last hours the release
04:06of prisoners from the Sinai prison has been confirmed.
04:11The center hosted, serving their sentences, several terrorists captured in the middle
04:16of the war.
04:17The extremists have also seized Damascus airport, and as in Libya, celebrated their entry into
04:23the government palace with gunfire.
04:29And this is what is known so far about Israel's advance into southern Syria.
04:33According to local media, the Israeli forces have entered the border areas in Kundera,
04:39and artillery shots have been fired against Syrian territory.
04:42Also, according to reports provided by military sources, the occupying army crossed the border
04:47fence in the Golan Heights this morning to take control of new positions in the area,
04:53as it is revealed that these movements were part of the preparations for the fall of the
04:58government of Bashar al-Assad.
05:06And while this is going on in the United States, the White House Security Council assured
05:09that President Joe Biden is closely following the events in Syria after terrorist groups
05:15backed by the U.S. administration, Israel and other governments took over the capital
05:20of the Arab country.
05:21The agency detailed that the U.S. President will be in permanent contact with his allies
05:26in the Middle East.
05:27This comes after terrorist groups launched a military offensive 11 days ago that led
05:32to the overthrow of the Syrian government.
05:36It should be noted that U.S. presence in Syria under the pretext of fighting terrorism has
05:40focused on strengthening it, as well as multiple geopolitical objectives, including military
05:46bases strategically located around Syria's important oil and gas resources, and the containment
05:52of Iranian influence, the protection of Israeli interests, and the counterbalancing of growing
05:58influence from Russia and China in the region.
