12:04 pm
what the rest wanted instead of for the last 13 years. and now it is time for them to engage and try and get them to work on the principles which would be accepted, but not just the syrians here, but the, the, the national community as a whole. and i sat down with the spokesman for the city and government and asked them about these issues in the, in a wide range you can do with an awesome has been about israel's goal, their response. and what are they looking for in terms of function? i was at the court when i come a whole study. how then would any of these trials will be meticulously conducted to ensure that the rights of the victims are upheld and the grievances are addressed? this approach is essential to restore and trust in the judicial system and ensuring that justice is not only served but seemed to be saved by holding criminals accountable. we aimed to feel the deep wounds inflicted upon our society. how did a, what is the city a going to look like that will be under high a thought of you a shot. you're talking about the read, i think the constitution is it a constitution? which is going to look like your gooey in it live, which was
12:05 pm
a considered a strict is nomic rule. or is it going to be a lot of society as serious constitution allowed for everyone to take part instruction? sort of the deed, a commission has been established to reform syrian institutions to align with both national and international standards. this commission is responsible for shaping the future of syria. the challenges faced and loved a now part of the past, we now have control over the entire country and not hold respectful young people and religions. recognizing the diversity within our society. we are committed to developing comprehensive strategies that case it to the whole nation. what is being discussed in the government because it involves multiple people and they say they don't have details o as the what is the plan for the securing sovereignty of syria for the nazi and i'm of honda and we will provide an explanation later regarding our plans for border protection, a primary goal is to ensure syria is safe from any external traits. the approach to
12:06 pm
our dealings with israel will be outlined in the near future. one of the biggest problems that you have right now are the international sanctions against syria, as well as the 3rd day of the nation of your group has been what is being done to sort out that and also about to let you the sanctions on the side regime has deeply affected the people. now the sun has been toppled, the sanctions on the country must be lifted. the sanctions don't impact the latest of the regime. 9 people impacted other people of syria before it is essential to lift the sanctions and allow syrians to live as they dream. this will improve the living and economic conditions of the people, stevens, this is a professor of politics at the university of san francisco. he says, washington wants to see a stable syria, but not necessarily a strong one. the testing the waters is really the best they can realistically do. i mean the kind of military of the united states in that region. if you look at the invasion of the rack and, and support for israel's jim sidle work is very,
12:07 pm
very low. and, you know, the us role in syria was one of opposition you know, to side. and that they should, they are obviously have caught in common with the new government. i don't think they can expect to have much influence in the direction both united states and the leaders now in damascus. have the common desire throughout the country eventually be a unified on some level of they don't want it in the constant state of war. uh, the same time the, the united states does not want a very strong syria, either one that could continue to challenge its product. it is in the region. so i, i don't think the, all right, so again, the united states in certain ways is cross purposes with does that cost purposes. but the same time, i think they are really trying to get a better understanding of the situation and trying to hope that there will be at
12:08 pm
