AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

UN Humanitarian Warning: UN official Tom Fletcher told the Security Council that despite a historic wave of voluntary returns, displacement, localized insecurity, landmines and regional escalation are still threatening the return of Syrians—only 18% of those abroad plan to go back in the coming year. Transitional Justice Reset: Syria’s People’s Assembly unanimously approved abolishing the Assad-era “Terrorism Court,” aiming to nullify rulings in 90,000-plus cases and restore rights, while courts also issued first verdicts tied to 2025 coastal Alawite massacres. Fuel Crisis Fallout: Syria’s fuel price hikes are still driving anger and protests, with the energy minister announcing subsidized diesel at 115 pounds per liter and plans to offer multiple diesel categories amid unrest. Security Pressure in the South: UN envoy Claudio Cordone warned that Israeli incursions, checkpoints and artillery fire in Quneitra and western Daraa violate the 1974 disengagement deal, as three Syrian internal security forces were killed in a Daraa raid. Economy & Infrastructure Moves: Qatar’s Estithmar completed a 48.68% stake transfer in Shahba Bank, and Syria signed its first syndicated Islamic-financing deal for Damascus projects, while President al-Sharaa pitched Tartus port as a Hormuz alternative route. Identity Clash: A cultural fight over singer Asala’s “Syrian Album” and a conservative “no instruments” backlash highlighted a wider struggle over Syria’s public identity.
