As pressure mounts in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified efforts to secure a peace deal , urging Kyiv to accept a revised framework before the American Thanksgiving holiday. The proposal, reportedly a 28-point plan , has drawn sharp criticism for heavily favoring Moscow’s interests, including demands that Ukraine cede territory, limit its military, and abandon aspirations to join NATO.

Syria's Interim Leader Calls for Unity Amid Escalating Violence

 

In a heartfelt appeal for peace, Syria's interim leader, Ahmed Sharaa, addressed the nation following the deadliest outbreak of violence in over a decade. Speaking from a mosque in his childhood neighborhood of Mazzah, Damascus, Sharaa emphasized the importance of national unity and domestic peace. "We must preserve our unity and live together," he urged, acknowledging the challenges facing the country.

The recent clashes, which erupted in the coastal regions of Latakia and Tartous, have claimed over 1,000 lives, including civilians, security personnel, and fighters loyal to the ousted regime of Bashar al-Assad. The violence marks a grim chapter in Syria's ongoing struggle for stability after the fall of Assad's government in December.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the violence has spiraled into revenge killings and summary executions, with armed militias targeting Alawite communities accused of supporting the former regime. The interim government faces mounting pressure to address these sectarian tensions and restore order.

Sharaa's call for peace comes as a reminder of the resilience and unity needed to rebuild a nation torn apart by years of conflict. "Syria has the characteristics for survival," he reassured, urging citizens to rise above sectarian divides and work towards a peaceful future.
