Damascus Airport Plans Stir Mass-Grave Fears
x/bashar-al-assad
— Sep 12, 2026
Syria’s plan to turn Mezzeh military airport in Damascus into a private-jet hub has rights groups and locals alarmed that redevelopment could disturb grave sites and undermine private land claims tied to decades of expropriation. Documents obtained by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre indicate executions and detentions were carried out at Mezzeh during the Assad era, prompting calls to halt construction to preserve evidence while the new authorities weigh investment with historic injustices.

Syria, Israel security talks expected to resume
x/united-states-of-america
— Aug 23, 2026
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani says security talks with Israel should resume soon, but Damascus remains deeply mistrustful and insists Israel must halt attacks and respect Syria’s security concerns as talks frozen after the Iran war and an airbase strike, with earlier progress suggesting both sides had agreed on many elements of a security framework. He urged Israel to seize a historic diplomatic opportunity while Washington continues to press for a brokered security arrangement and gradual steps toward de-escalation and trust-building along the border.
