Statements from Foreign Leaders/Organizations:

-Aqaba Statement on Syria: Supporting the role of the UN envoy to Syria and working to establish a UN mission to assist Syria. The Aqaba Statement on Syria calls for a comprehensive national dialogue and the solidarity of the Syrian people to build a free, secure, stable and unified state. Condemns Israel’s incursion into the buffer zone with Syria and the chain of sites adjacent to it in Mount Hermon and the governorates of Qunaytrah and Rif Dimashq. Affirms the commitment to strengthening the fight against terrorism and preventing its threat to the security of Syria, the region and the world, and its defeat constitutes a unifying priority. The humanitarian support needed by the Syrian people must be provided.

-EU: We look forward to engaging with the new authorities in Syria soon.

Statements from Syrian Leaders:

-Ahmad al-Shar’a: We have systematic plans to address the systematic destruction practiced by the regime Damascus is lagging behind in all aspects of what we have achieved in Idlib Governorate. We have no hostility towards Iranian society. We gave the Russians a chance to reconsider their relationship with the Syrian people. Based on our administrative experience in Idlib, we will advance in the rest of the country’s governorates. We are communicating with Western embassies and holding discussions with Britain to restore its representation in Damascus. Our goals are clear and our plans are ready for construction and development in Syria. We are not going to get into a conflict with Israel. The Syrian revolution has triumphed, but Syria should not be led with a revolutionary mentality. There is a need for law and institutions. The Syrian revolution witnessed conflicts, factionalism, and international intervention from several parties, and it is an exceptional situation. There was no political solution in every sense of the word, and we had no choice but to take military action, despite its complexity. Russian aviation was focusing on civilian targets and there was fear of a Gaza scenario in northern Syria. There are many details of the battle and behind-the-scenes events that have not been revealed to the public, and we will reveal them later. We are tools that God has harnessed to defeat the defunct regime, but the effort is the effort of all Syrians. There is a systematic destruction of the agricultural, industrial and banking sectors. We tried to avoid provoking the Russians and give them a chance to re-evaluate the relationship with us. The regime did not build a state, but rather a farm, and the extent of the thefts is large, and we will present documents proving that. The next stage is the stage of construction and stability.

The committees discussed with the cadres the subjects being taught, and stressed that no lesson containing phrases related to the former criminal regime should be taught, and stressed the need to erase any features related to the deposed regime. We will do everything in our power to ensure that our students in Syria continue their education in the best possible way, so that they will be the generation that will build the civilization of a free Syria.

-Minister of Economy in the Syrian caretaker government, Basil Abdul Aziz Abdul Hanan: Our goal is to advance the economic reality of free Syria, improve the living conditions of the people, and improve their economic conditions. We are working in coordination with the government of the deposed regime to restructure the ministries and institutions in it in a way that is consistent with the reality of liberated Syria and achieves the best service for all segments of society. There are major challenges facing us in rebuilding the economy, after what Syria has suffered from corruption and looting for many years, but with the grace of God Almighty and with the combined efforts and solidarity between all components of free Syria, we will achieve a qualitative shift in the economy.
