Germany urges Israel to ‘abandon’ plan for more Golan Heights settlements – AFP

Germany has urged Israel to “abandon” a plan to double the population living in the occupied and annexed Golan Heights at the south-western edge of Syria.

Foreign ministry spokesperson, Christian Wagner, said on Monday :

It is perfectly clear under international law that this area controlled by Israel belongs to Syria and that Israel is therefore an occupying power.

Wagner added that Berlin therefore called on its ally Israel “to abandon this plan” which was announced on Sunday by the Israeli government.

He added:

It is absolutely crucial now, in this phase of political upheaval in Syria, that all actors in the region take into account the territorial integrity of Syria and do not call it into question.

Speaking at a regular press conference, he added that the situation is “complex” and that Israel had an interest to ensure that the Assad regime’s weapons “do not fall into the wrong hands”.

But he stressed that Germany was “now calling on all actors in the region to exercise restraint” and that war-ravaged “Syria has been a plaything of foreign powers for far too long”.

Key events

Foreign ministers from the United States, UK, France, Germany and Italy will hold talks on Tuesday to discuss developments in Syria, Italy’s Antonio Tajani said.

“We hope that the first positive signals will transform into concrete positive signals,” foreign minister Tajani said at a conference of diplomats at the Italian foreign ministry.

The virtual meeting comes amid Western moves towards the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebel group that is in charge following the ousting of president Bashar al-Assad.

The EU’s envoy to Syria headed to Damascus Monday for talks, after the United States and Britain said they had made contact with the new authorities in the Syrian capital.

Italy, which holds the presidency of the G7 group of rich nations in 2024, earlier this year named an ambassador to Damascus for the first time in over a decade.

A team of Turkish rescuers began an in-depth search of Syria’s infamous Sednaya prison on Monday, a spokesperson for Turkey’s AFAD disaster management agency told AFP.

Located just north of Damascus, the prison known locally as locally known as “the human slaughterhouse”, has become a symbol of the rights abuses of the Assad regime, especially since the Syrian civil war erupted in 2011.

Prisoners held inside the complex were freed early last week by the rebels who ousted Bashar al-Assad on 8 December.

AFAD said it had sent a team of nearly 80 people to conduct a search-and-rescue operation.

The complex is thought to descend several levels underground, fuelling suspicion more prisoners could be being held in as yet undiscovered hidden cells.

But the Association of Detainees and Missing Persons of Sednaya Prison (ADMSP), believes the rumours are unfounded.

AFAD said the team would work with “advanced search and rescue devices”, the Anadolu state news agency reported.

ADMSP said the rebels freed more than 4,000 prisoners from Sednaya.

The organisation, which is based in southern Turkey, believes more than 30,000 prisoners died there as a result of execution, torture, starvation or a lack of medical care between 2011 and 2018.

The Syrian Democratic Council has warned that the Tishreen Dam on the Euphrates River in northern Syria is at “serious risk of collapse” and called for an immediate halt to the “shelling by Turkiye and the Syrian National Army”.

Zozan Alosh, spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Council said:

The collapse of the Tishreen Dam would have terrible consequences for the region and must be averted.

Millions of people would be left without electricity and water, and lives and homes would be lost in the flooding that followed. Turkiye and the Syrian National Army must immediately stop their shelling at the site, and allow engineers to repair the damage urgently.

Syria’s Latakia port is working normally and ship are unloading cargo, port official Hassan Jablawi told Reuters.

Syria’s Kurds, who run a semi-autonomous administration in the north-east, called on Monday for an end to all fighting in the country and extended a hand to the new authorities in Damascus, Reuters reports.

In a statement at a press conference in Raqa, the Kurdish administration called for “a stop to military operations over the entire Syrian territory in order to begin a constructive, comprehensive national dialogue”, more than a week after Islamist-led rebels toppled Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has begun an official visit to Beirut in what is being described as a “highly symbolic” tour by a first EU leader to the country following the ceasefire agreement reached by Lebanon and Israel.

He is scheduled to hold talks with his Lebanese counterpart Najib Mikati after meeting Nabih Berry the speaker of the parliament of Lebanon and the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Antioch John X.

As the closest EU member state to the region, along with Cyprus, Greece is keen to make its presence felt with Mitsotakis recently voicing concerns that “southern Lebanon does not become a new Gaza. It would be a humanitarian tragedy that the broader region cannot withstand.” Aides say the visit is aimed at “sending a message of peace” as well as highlighting Greece’s role and presence in the region.

Athens has taken a lead role in coordinating the delivery of aid – part of an EU humanitarian air bridge – to Lebanon. On his visit to Beirut Mitsotakis will emphasise Greece’s readiness to help provide the assistance needed to implement the shaky ceasefire including reinforcing Lebanon’s armed forces and other state institutions.

As a frontline EU member state, Greece is also likely to put the issue of refugees at the top of the agenda following the toppling of the Assad regime in Syria.

Kremlin says no final decisions yet on fate of Russian military bases in Syria

The Kremlin said on Monday that no final decisions had yet been taken on the fate of Russia’s military bases in Syria and that it was in contact with those in charge of the country.

Four Syrian officials told Reuters over the weekend that Russia is pulling back its military from the front lines in northern Syria and from posts in the Alawite Mountains but is not leaving its two main bases after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad.

Russia said on Sunday it had evacuated some diplomatic personnel in Damascus as well as Belarusian and North Korean diplomats via a special Russian air force flight from its Khmeimim air base.

Death toll in Gaza Strip from Israel-Hamas war tops 45,000, Palestinians say

Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip has killed at least 45,028 Palestinans and wounded 106,962 since 7 October 2023, the Gaza health ministry said on Monday.

Israel seeking to ‘expand borders’ through Golan plan – Turkey foreign ministry

Turkey on Monday denounced an Israeli plan to double the population living in the occupied and annexed Golan Heights as a bid to “expand its borders”, AFP reports.

“This decision is a new stage in Israel’s goal of expanding its borders through occupation,” the foreign ministry said in a statement, warning the plan would “seriously undermine” efforts to bring stability to neighbouring Syria after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The EU is sending a senior diplomat to Damascus to make contacts with Syria’s new Islamist-led leaders, in a further sign of western engagement after the fall of the brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The EU’s high representative for foreign policy Kaja Kallas said she had tasked a top diplomat to go to Damascus on Monday “ to make the contacts with the new government and people there”.

She was speaking ahead of a meeting of the EU’s 27 foreign ministers, who she said would discuss how to engage with Syria’s new leadership.

Syria, Kallas said, faced an “optimistic, positive, but rather uncertain future” and outside actors had to ensure it went in the right direction.

At the weekend the EU foreign policy chief took part in talks in Jordan with Arab leaders, Turkey and the US. Writing on X, she said they had agreed Syria’s future should be based on “stability, sovereignty, territorial integrity, but also respect for minorities, institution build-up and unity of government that includes all the groups in Syria”.

UN Syria envoy says Syrian people can expect help

The United Nations intends to offer all kinds of help to the Syrian people, UN Syria envoy Geir Pedersen told Syrian rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa and caretaker prime minister Mohammad al-Bashir during a meeting in Damascus, according to a statement released by the UN envoy’s office on Monday.

Last week, time collapsed. Bashar al-Assad’s fall recalled scenes across the region from the start of the Arab spring almost 14 years ago. Suddenly history felt vivid, its memories sharpened. In fact it no longer felt like history. Scenes that it seemed we would never see again – of crowds thronging the squares; the obscene riches of despots exposed, their fortresses stormed, their iconography desecrated – unlocked a familiar, almost sickening sense of possibility. Of giddiness, of horror at what fleeing dictators had left in their wake, and of hope. Syria’s long revolution – the death, torture, imprisonment and exile that Assad’s crushing of it unleashed – makes its successful end bittersweet. The price was so high, which makes its spoils even more dear.

The moment is also different in another way. In those 14 years, other revolutions across the region either unravelled or resulted in the retrenchment of dictatorial regimes under new management. And so that sense of untrammelled optimism that followed the fall of that first crop of dictators is tempered by some wariness of what comes next. But it can and should be a productive wariness rather than a reason for despair. Because what Syria benefits from now is an understanding of the fragility of this period. To those of us who experienced it before in other countries, it felt like a time when the momentum of revolution was unstoppable and cleansing. It had a kinetic energy that swept away the old systems to be replaced by new administrations, armed with good intentions and popular support, that would simply figure it out.

Israel hits Syrian coastal region with ‘heaviest strikes’ in a decade; at least 12 Palestinians killed in Gaza strike

A war monitor group said early on Monday that Israeli strikes had targeted military sites in Syria’s coastal Tartus region, calling them “the heaviest strikes” in the area in more than a decade.

“Israeli warplanes launched strikes’ targeting a series of sites including air defence units and ‘surface-to-surface missile depots’”, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in what it said were “the heaviest strikes in Syria’s coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012”.

Benjamin Netanyahu has said he had a “very friendly, warm and important discussion” with Donald Trump over the weekend about his plans in Syria and efforts to secure the release of hostages in Gaza. In an address on Sunday night the prime minister said he spoke to Trump on Saturday adding: “We discussed the need to complete Israel’s victory and we spoke at length about the efforts we are making to free our hostages. “We will continue to act relentlessly to return home all of our hostages, the living and the deceased.” A Trump spokesperson on Sunday declined to give further details about the call.
At least 12 Palestinians were killed, including children, in an Israeli airstrike on a shelter for the displaced in Gaza’s Khan Younis school turned shelter for displaced Palestinians on Sunday, the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency said.
Syria’s de facto leader Ahmad al-Sharaa discussed with the United Nations envoy for Syria the need to reconsider a roadmap outlined by the Security Council for the country in 2015, the Syrian ruling General Command said on Sunday.
Israel’s government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements on the Golan Heights it occupies, saying it had acted “in light of the war and the new front facing Syria” and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan. “Strengthening the Golan is strengthening the State of Israel, and it is especially important at this time. We will continue to hold onto it, cause it to blossom, and settle in it,” Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement reported by Reuters.
