🇸🇾🤝🇷🇺 — The Syrian President to the New York Times:

We have had food and energy agreements with Russia for years, and these Syrian interests must be taken into account.

🇺🇸🤝🇸🇾❌🇵🇸🇵🇸 — 📰 The New York Times:

➡️Syria's arrest of two senior leaders of the Islamic Jihad movement "represents a radical shift in government policy," after the country, under former President Bashar al-Assad's regime, had been "a base of operations for many Palestinian armed factions."

➡️The arrests of the Palestinians came as Republican members of Congress arrived in Damascus last week, marking the first visit by US lawmakers to Syria in years, indicating that their party "is beginning to pay greater attention to the war-torn country.

📝Admin note: Assad prevented PIJ from opening a front in the Golan Heights, and arrested some of their leaders, so the description that Syria was a base of operation for Palestinian factions isn't accurate.

🇸🇾📞🇺🇸🇮🇱 — The Syrian President to the New York Times:

➡️Syria has committed from the beginning to preventing the use of its territory to threaten any foreign country.

➡️Any foreign presence in Syria should not pose a threat to other countries across our territory.

🇺🇸⚡️ In March, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth directly asked the director of DoD’s special access programs to read Elon Musk into over two dozen top-secret Pentagon programs related to China.

➡️ He skipped the usual legal and policy reviews, and ethics lawyers later blocked the idea, deeming it “inappropriate.”

➡️ Sources say the request might’ve gone further if proper channels were followed.
