Votes have been cast in Syria for a transitional parliament in a process criticized as undemocratic, with new lawmakers being selected by local committees or appointed directly by interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/06/world/politics/syria-parliament-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #syriancivilwar #ahmedalsharaa #syria

Syria selects members of first post-Assad parliament

The process has been criticized as undemocratic, as instead of holding a nationwide vote, lawmakers are being selected by local committees and interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa.

Immigration courts in the US are subject to the whims of the presidency. They need to be independent like the rest of the judiciary, but I believe that would require a constitutional amendment.

Some of the most senior U.S. diplomats focused on Syria have been abruptly let go from their posts in recent days, sources have said, as Washington seeks to integrate Syrian Kurdish allies with Damascus. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/18/world/politics/us-diplomats-syria-damascus-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #syria #middleeast #us

U.S. envoys focused on Syria ousted amid pro-Damascus shift, sources say

The diplomats at the de facto U.S. mission to Syria, based in Istanbul, all reported to the U.S. special envoy for Syria, a longtime friend of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Pressured by the U.S., Syria is accelerating talks with Israel regarding a security pact that Damascus hopes will reverse Israel's recent seizures of its land but that would fall far short of a full peace treaty. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/17/world/politics/us-pressure-syria-israel-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #benjaminnetanyahu #syria #us #ahmadalsharaa

The Japan Times

Under U.S. pressure, Syria and Israel inch toward security deal

Washington is pushing for enough progress to be made by the time of the U.N. General Assembly at the end of this month to allow President Donald Trump to announce a breakthrough.

After destroying 1,600 buildings & 13,000 tents, #Israel launches ground invasion of #GazaCity

Their other attempts at ground invasions in #Gaza have failed so far. This one probably will, too.

#Palestine Will Be Free is a great blog for news of #resistance.
