The Syrian government issued an arrest warrant today for journalist Nour Suleiman, accusing her of "cyber crime harming national prestige" after her previous arrest. Suleiman had published reports on coastal massacres, Suweida, and the kidnapping of Alawite women on Facebook. The Syrian Justice Department also established an investigative committee for the Blood Riots in Druze-Mount Druze, which is tasked with submitting a final report within three months. The Syrian Foreign Ministry has reportedly been in contact with the spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel, Sheikh Moffa True, inviting him to visit Damascus, though he initially declined. Efforts to establish contact with Trif continue. Meanwhile, IDF Spokesman Avichai Addi made an "unconventional visit" to Druze bushes in southern Syria following the Ba'a-Sweda massacre. Sources within the Syrian Foreign Ministry suggest Russia is willing to activate the Hmeimim base as an air defense center for Syria and send forces to Quneitra to resolve clashes. Russia's conditions include permission to continue recruiting Syrian remnants for deployment to Ukraine from Qamishli Airport. Their primary requests are the survival of the Hmeimim base and the renegotiation of agreements with the Assad regime to secure privileges and fair prices for Syria. Russia reportedly apologized to Bashar al-Assad for past actions but promised a "satisfactory solution to Syria." In other developments, Bashar al-Assad is slated to appear on a "well-known Arabic screen" soon to discuss the collapse of his regime and his prospects for return.
