‘Al-Aqsa, be patient’: Chants against ‘Zionist scum’ heard at Damascus International Fair - report
The fair ran under the theme “Syria Shines Again,” SANA reported, claiming nearly 1,000 participating entities, representing approximately 60 countries, joined.
A viral video captured at the Damascus International Fair on Friday shows chanting attendees threatening Israeli officials and pledging to liberate Palestine from "Zionist scum." The event, organized by the Economy and Industry Ministry and the Damascus International Fair Administration, included the Damascus World Economic Forum for the first time.
Over 1,000 participants from approximately 60 countries attended the fair, themed "Syria Shines Again." Western companies and entities were present amid Syria's efforts to reconnect with international markets. However, Lt.-Col. Sarit Zehavi, founder of the Alma Research and Education Center, cautioned that the demonstration could strengthen Israel's resolve to maintain its buffer zone in Syria, suggesting it was a reflection of the new government's hostility.
