Erdugan returned empty handed from US visit , could not convince Obama of escalation in Syria and looks like having lost the battle of Syria while the opposition is demonstrating in Hatay against him holding him responsible for the explosion in Rayhanli last week on the borders with Syria that took the life more than fifty people . Erdogan had also to defer his trip to Gaza and ...to the West Bank because this infuriates both the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority.
The Syrian army has entered the town of al Qusayr main head quarters for al Nusrat and main point for smuggling weapons and thugs from Lebanon inside Syria . The thugs are now under siege in the northern part of the city , there are hundreds of them , among them different nationalities , dozens have already surrendered and a prominent leader has been killed and others have fled the battle field and were seen fleeing in great numbers .
Due to the battles in al Qusayr , Grad missiles have fallen also in the Lebanese city of Hermel . There is no presence of Lebanese army or security forces and inhabitants have been complaining about being left alone to manage on their own .The Syrian army is focusing on opening the highways in what is called the war of highways. Circulation is now safe between Damascus -Lathikiyya – Banias and between al Qusayr and Tal Kalakh and other roads- as well -and this has for goal to isolate the gangs of the opposition and cut their supplies and assure the connection between different major cities of Syria.
President Bashshar al Assad talked about the role of Israel in supporting the thugs of the opposition while Israel threatened again to target other Syrian locations . President Bashshar - in an interview with the Argentinian TV-said that there is no negotiations with the terrorists and that no state would ever negotiate with terrorist, insisting on the fact that Syria is an independent country that does not take orders from anyone and mentioning the fact the terrorists fighting in Syria belong to 19 nationalities . As for the two abducted bishops they have been taken to the Turkish borders and the president has been following up their case closely from the beginning and communicating with religious authorities about it..
Foreign sources revealed the fact that Qatar has spent around 4 billion dollars ON THE WAR IN SYRIA , FUNDING AND SUPPLYING THE OPPOSITION . Each defector is being paid 50 thousand dollars a year and almost seventy shipments of weapons reached the opposition through Turkey and Qatar comes second after Saudi Arabia in shipping weapons to the opposition .
The Israeli ambassador to Jordan has left Amman on a leave presumably after the Jordanian parliament voted for his expulsion and for the calling back of the Jordanian ambassador in Tel Aviv. This does not mean that the cooperation between Jordan and Israel is close to end but Jordan fears that the Palestinian cause be solved at its expense and the Palestinians transferred to Jordan where they might form a majority that is not in favor of the king.
European countries are at a loss for what to do with the thugs of the opposition who are fighting in Syria and who carry European passports and amount to more than 700 hundred fighters and are close to returning to their respective countries where they might present a real threat.
