Sulaf Fawakherji breaks silence on marriage to Bashar al-Assad
Shortly after Fawakherji was formally expelled from the Syrian Artists Syndicate for allegedly endorsing the Assad government and demonstrating a lack of concern for the plight of the Syrian people, the paper started making the rounds.
The paper, dated September 11, 2022, states that Fawakherji marries Assad and names her as a lady who has finished her post-divorce waiting period, suggesting that she and her ex-husband, actor Wael Ramadan, are no longer together.
In a post on her verified Facebook account, Fawakherji replied sarcastically and incredulously, calling the paper a total fabrication. "We didn't invite anybody and kept it small. She added, "I swear, it's laughable," making fun of the assertions. Her message to her detractors was to "discuss ideas without attacking someone's honor" and to examine their obsession with private issues.
Additionally, the actress drew attention to important mistakes in the purported document, such as an erroneous birthday and her father's name being stated incorrectly as "Mohammad" rather than "Mohammad Salim." "I have not divorced, and I won't, if God wills," she said, further denying that she and her husband had ever separated.
For years, opposition speakers have criticized Fawakherji, a well-known ally of the Syrian regime. The distribution of the falsified paper is now much more controversial since her expulsion from the syndicate has rekindled discussion about her public persona and political beliefs.

Syrian President Sharaa survives three assassination attempts in seven months: Report
Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has narrowly escaped three separate assassination attempts within the last seven months, according to a report by Yedioth Ahronoth. The first attempt allegedly took place in March as Sharaa was leaving the People's Palace in Damascus. Turkish security personnel, who are part of his protection detail, detected unusual movement near the presidential convoy. Three Syrian guards apprehended the suspected attacker, who was later taken in for questioning. Yedioth Ahronoth claimed Sharaa insisted on keeping the incident secret, determined to project an image of strength and control. A second, more elaborate attempt occurred during Sharaa's trip to Daraa in the south. Two individuals acting suspiciously were spotted by both Syrian and Turkish security teams. Acting quickly, the presidential security detail diverted Sharaa's motorcade just minutes before it was due to pass through the targeted route. The most recent attempt, described as the most dangerous, was an ambush planned along a road frequently used by the President when traveling from the People's Palace. A gunman had reportedly taken position to attack, but details about how the attempt was foiled remain unclear. The incident has fueled speculation about Sharaa's abrupt decision to leave Damascus shortly afterward. Confirming the threats, US Special Envoy for Syria and Ambassador to Turkiye, Thomas Barrack, said the assassination attempts were real and warned of 'extremely serious threats' against Sharaa's life. He emphasized that ensuring the Syrian president's safety was of critical importance.
