Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir:

Our goal is to restore security and stability to all cities in Syria and return millions of Syrian refugees to their homes.

We inherited a huge corrupt administrative legacy from the Assad regime and we are in a horrible financial situation.

We will guarantee the rights of all sects in Syria.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov:

Israel's strikes on Syria are unlikely to help stabilize the situation there.

Russia fulfilled its mission in Syria in its time.

Peace has returned to the former Assad stronghold Latakia.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu:

We are fighting a war on 7 fronts and perhaps others will be added; we are hitting our enemies hard, imposing a very heavy price on them.

Syrian revolutionary leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa (Al-Joulani):

Syria will not engage in another war.

EXCLUSIVE: Israeli sources have informed Clash Report that Israel is in direct communication with Syrian revolutionaries. According to the sources, Israel has assured them that its strikes will remain confined to military targets.

Clash Report Exclusive

Syrian opposition officials, who are working on forming the new government in Damascus, told Clash Report that maintaining Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty is their top priority.

The officials stated that they would not tolerate any elements, including the PKK, that threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria under the new government.

Vitali Arkov, head of the Russia-based PolitRus Analysis Center, shared his insights on developments in Syria with the Istanbul-based news outlet gdh.

Arkov:

I believe the fate of Assad was decided during the recent meeting between President Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I think Assad was convinced to accept a transition process without bloodshed in Damascus, with security guarantees provided for him and his family in exchange for leaving the country.

The winner of this process is Türkiye. Türkiye’s increasing influence in Aleppo will not be limited to Syria but will also accelerate Ankara’s projection toward the Turkic World.

Russian Foreign Ministry:

If someone hopes Moscow will make concessions over Ukraine, they have a short memory.

Clash Report EXCLUSIVE: According to Russian sources approached by Clash Report, the Kremlin is in direct contact with Syrian forces that captured Damascus and has agreed in principle on returning to military bases in Syria.

Russian officials emphasized they never fully withdrew from Syria, maintaining a core military presence at the bases.

Syrian forces reportedly stated there was no need for Russia to leave the country.

Turkish President Erdoğan:

Our Syrian brothers and sisters are now free.

Donald Trump:

The Syrians will have to defend themselves because we are not involved there.

The Middle East is important, but I think managing it is less difficult than managing Ukraine and Russia.

Syrian government announced the end of curfew in Damascus.

Syrian people are destroying the Captagon drugs they found in the factories and warehouses of Maher Assad.

Israeli soldiers raised the flag of Israel in the "temporary buffer zone" in southern Syria.

The Syrian Interim Government:

Life is gradually returning to most provinces and cities as basic services are being restored.

Displaced people are beginning to return from camps on the border with Türkiye to Syria.
