Abu Obaida marks one year since martyrdom of commander Mohammed al-Deif
Abu Obaida, the military spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, commemorated the first anniversary of the passing of the great martyr and leader Mohammed al-Deif. He highlighted al-Deif's pivotal role in leading the Aqsa flood operation, which inflicted the harshest blow in the history of 'the Zionist enemy', permanently shattering 'Israeli' deterrence. Abu Obaida said that al-Deif's leadership united the energies of the Arab and Islamic nation, redirecting their focus towards Palestine and restoring the Palestinian cause to the forefront once again. He described decades of jihad, pursuit, sacrifice, leadership, and creativity culminating in al-Deif's martyrdom, joining the ranks of the great martyrs of the Palestinian people and its leaders. Abu Obaida emphasized how the blood of al-Deif and his fellow commanders mingled with the blood of Palestinians and the wider Ummah, who sacrificed everything for Al-Aqsa and Palestine. The spokesman also praised al-Deif for reviving the legacy of early Islamic companions and warriors such as Ali, Khalid, Al-Qa'qa', and Al-Muthanna. He said al-Deif remained an inspiration for generations who never saw his image but took pride in the victories of his brigades, and that he will continue to be a beacon for freedom fighters worldwide.

Bassem Yakhour regrets political statements: "I Wish I Had Stayed Silent"
ALBAWABA - Bassem Yakhour opens up about political regret and public backlash. "I wish I hadn't spoken politically." During his episode of the Al Arabiya TV show "Controversial," Bassem Yakhour said the phrase to show that he felt bad about talking about politics in the past. He emphasized that his words had hurt many people, even those close to him. He expressed, "Today, I wish I had never spoken in any of the interviews I've done before... It would have been better if I hadn't said anything about politics. Bassem Yakhour on Al Arabiya YouTube channel After being away for a while, Bassem recently went back to Damascus and said, "The natural place where I should be constantly present and in constant contact is Damascus." He also said that even though he goes to Syria every year, this time was different and scary because "I went there somewhat afraid of the flu." He said that talking to people on the street in Syria was the main reason he came back, not the comments on social media, which he called "bound by question marks and controversial." In a touching statement, Bassem openly apologized to everyone who was hurt by what he said. He said, "I want to say to anyone who is hurt or hurt... if they feel that my words hurt or pain them... I apologize to them, and I tell them I'm sorry." "This is right, and it needs to be said." Bassem talked about how severe the recent attacks on him were, saying, "I have been subjected to an unprecedented campaign of attacks... death threats and attacks on my family and relatives." The attacks went beyond political criticism. He said that he is responsible for his political views but that he will not "fabricate accusations." He also said, "No one is entitled to make something up about me that isn't true, like saying that I rape children." What does "Potato is all potatoes" mean? On social media, "Potato, all potato" was one of the most controversial phrases. It was considered a jab at some artists or officials, especially after it was shared with comments made by his colleague Abed Fahd. Bassem explained, "This video came out two years ago. I was at the Habtoor Hotel in Lebanon, and I wanted to make a point and see how controversial it would be." " So I said, 'Potato, all potato,' and everyone takes that meaning the way they want." He said, "I actually intended to use it in one of my series... but people considered it an attack on groups or individuals, and this is completely untrue." In his final words, Bassem Yakhour stressed how important it was to keep his message alive through art. He said, "I wish I had been content to express my perspective through artistic works that present something humane, artistic, cultural, and intellectual..." "That would have been better."

Hebrew Media: Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa Held Direct Meeting with Israeli Officials in Baku - Jordan News
Hebrew Media: Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa Held Direct Meeting with Israeli Officials in Baku Israeli news outlet i24NEWS reported, citing a well-informed Syrian source, that Syria's transitional president Ahmed Al-Sharaa participated in at least one direct meeting with Israeli officials on Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan. The report contradicts official Syrian media claims that Al-Sharaa had no contact with the Israeli side. اضافة اعلان The source, described as close to President Al-Sharaa, stated that the meeting was part of two or three rounds of talks, attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani and government security coordination official Ahmed Al-Dallati. The Israeli delegation reportedly included a special envoy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alongside high-ranking military and security officials. According to the source, the talks explored a potential security agreement addressing: Iranian military presence in Syria and Lebanon Hezbollah's armament Palestinian factions Refugee camps in Lebanon The future of Palestinian refugees from Gaza The possibility of establishing an Israeli coordination office in Damascus—non-diplomatic in nature The choice of Azerbaijan as the meeting location was seen as a political signal to Iran, amid increasing tensions between Tehran and Damascus in recent weeks. Official Syrian Denial Despite the media reports, Syrian state newspaper Al-Watan cited official sources denying any meetings between Al-Sharaa and Israeli representatives. The sources insisted the discussions in Baku fall within a "de-escalation strategy", not normalization, and said "talks of a peace agreement are premature." Meanwhile, Israeli broadcaster KAN confirmed a direct meeting occurred Saturday in Baku, with Syrian demands focused on an Israeli military withdrawal from southern Syria and other coordination matters. KAN also noted a potential upcoming meeting between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani and Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa'ar in Brussels, hosted by the European Union, although no confirmation has been made regarding a separate bilateral session. Background and Strategic Goals A diplomatic source in Damascus indicated the talks primarily focus on Israel's expanded military presence in southern Syria, a result of developments following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime over seven months ago. President Al-Sharaa had previously acknowledged in May that his government was holding indirect talks with Israel through intermediaries to prevent further escalation and loss of control. These statements were echoed by Israeli outlets such as Channel 12 and Haaretz, which referenced direct meetings held in Baku, some involving Turkish officials. Azerbaijan has increasingly emerged as a neutral diplomatic platform due to its close ties with Israel and political coordination with Turkey, making it a central player in undisclosed regional negotiations on Syria. In recent months, President Al-Sharaa met with former U.S. President Donald Trump in Riyadh, leading to the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Damascus. He also expressed openness to regional stabilization initiatives during a joint conference with French President Emmanuel Macron. — (Agencies)
