This deterioration reflects not only the strength of the adversary, but also the performance of an authority that sees its people not as partners, but as bargaining chips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joudeh, who resides in Damascus, noted that \u201cthe Syrian government has lost the trust of its own people. The path to stability does not run through Paris or Tel Aviv, but through national reconciliation that rebuilds confidence among Syrians and ends both internal divisions and unilateral decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He concluded by saying that the current developments \u201cdo not signal the beginning of a solution, but rather another step in the ongoing process of erosion.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Abdulsalam Khoja<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The meeting between Syria\u2019s transitional government Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and Israel&#8217;s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer in Paris reflects a profound shift in Syria\u2019s regional position, Anas Joudeh, head of the opposition National Building Movement, told North Press on Thursday.
