Syria Dismisses Cease-Fire without Rebel Leaders

(BEIRUT) — The Syrian government on Wednesday said the international envoy’s call for a holiday cease-fire would likely fail because the rebels fighting to topple Bashar Assad’s regime have no unified leadership to agree to it.

The envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, had asked Iranian officials to help broker a truce during the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha, which falls later this month.

But Syria’s state-run Al-Thawra newspaper, a government mouthpiece, said Wednesday that the biggest obstacle to the truce was the lack of an authority to sign for the rebels.

“There is the state, represented by the government and the army on one front, but who is on the other front?” the paper asked in an editorial.

All international efforts to end Syria’s civil war to date have failed. Both rebels and government forces have disregarded previous cease-fires, and the scores of rebel units fighting to topple the regime have no unified leadership. Many don’t communicate with each other.

Brahimi, the joint U.N.-Arab League envoy, arrived in Beirut on Wednesday for talks with Lebanese officials on how to resolve the crisis. The visit is part of a regional tour.

Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdessi said in statement to the state news agency that the government was waiting for Brahimi to come to Damascus to convey to officials there the results of his tour. It would welcome any “constructive initiative,” Makdessi said.

Bombing in Northern Syria Kills Dozens

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Syrian military aircraft bombed a town held by insurgents along a vital north-south highway in northern Syria on Thursday, leveling apartment buildings and a mosque and killing more than 40 people, including many children, according to activists and graphic videos uploaded on the Internet.

The aerial bombardment of the town, Maarat al-Noaman in Idlib Province, was among the most intense since the Syrian military began regularly deploying warplanes and helicopters in its effort to crush the armed insurgency against President Bashar al-Assad.

The Local Coordination Committees, an anti-Assad activist group, said “dozens of people were martyred” in the bombardment, which it described as having been carried out by MiG fighters of the Syrian Air Force. A number of videos posted on YouTube showed rescue workers and wailing family members searching for victims crushed in apartment houses that had been destroyed by bombs.

Agence France-Presse, which said it had a correspondent at the scene, reported that 44 corpses had been recovered and that plastic bags marked “body parts” had been placed in a makeshift field hospital.

Maarat al-Noaman is strategically located along the Damascus-Aleppo highway that connects Syria’s two largest cities. Insurgents who have been seeking to cut the Syrian Army’s supply lines to Aleppo took control of Maarat al-Noaman this month.

More than 20,000 people have been killed since the anti-Assad uprising began in March 2011.

The Maarat al-Noaman bombing comes as the new joint special envoy from the United Nations and Arab League, Lakhdar Brahimi, has been seeking support for a cease-fire tied to the Muslim holiday of Id al-Adha, which begins a week from Friday. Mr. Brahimi has said he hopes that a religious reprieve universally respected by Muslims could be the basis not only for a pause in the fighting but perhaps the beginning of a dialogue in Syria.

But neither side in the Syria conflict has shown much interest in talking, and Mr. Brahimi’s prospects for success are uncertain at best.

Syria Crisis: Aleppo Bakery Reportedly Hit By Army Shells

Disturbing footage out of Syria appears to show the aftermath of shelling on a bakery in the northern city of Aleppo. According to Reuters, activists say at least 20 people were killed in the embattled city on Tuesday, including women and children.

Video that surfaced on YouTube purports to show the bakery's blood-covered walls, though the footage could not independently be verified; bodies and dismembered parts appear to be lying amid piles of bread on the floor. Residents carry out the dead and wounded amid shouts of anguish and panic.

Opposition activist Majd Nour told Reuters that the bakery was hit by Syrian army shells. "It was quiet all day and suddenly Assad's forces fired three shells. The first landed near the bakery and the other two hit it," he claimed.

Abu Jamal, another opposition activist, told CBS news via Skype that 11 victims have been identified so far. "The rest couldn't be identified as their bodies were disfigured beyond recognition," Jamal said.

Human Rights Watch reported in August that the Syrian army had attacked at least 10 bakeries in Aleppo. “Day after day, Aleppo residents line up to get bread for their families, and instead get shrapnel piercing their bodies from government bombs and shells,” said Ole Solvang, emergencies researcher at Human Rights Watch. “Ten bakery attacks is not random — they show no care for civilians and strongly indicate an attempt to target them.”

Syria Agrees To Ceasefire During Eid Al-Adha Holiday, Peace Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi Says

BEIRUT — An international mediator told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that he hopes a four-day holiday truce can take hold in Syria this week, warning that another failure will worsen the fighting and increasingly threaten neighboring countries.

Yet even this modest effort – the international community's only plan for scaling back the violence – appears doomed to fail.

Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy, said the Syrian regime and some rebel groups promised to lay down their arms during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which begins Friday. However, President Bashar Assad's regime denied Wednesday that it had committed to the plan and a radical Islamist group fighting alongside the rebels said it won't comply. Other rebels dismissed the idea as irrelevant.

Previous cease-fire missions have failed, in part because neither the rebels nor the regime have an incentive to end the bloody war of attrition. Both sides believe they can still make gains on the battlefield even as they are locked in a stalemate, and neither has faith in negotiations on the terms of a political transition proposed by Brahimi.

As Brahimi briefed the Security Council, the death toll in the 19-month-old conflict crossed the threshold of 35,000, activists said, and more violence was reported across the country.

Two car bombs killed at least eight bus passengers in the capital Damascus and 12 regime soldiers near a military checkpoint in the north, while regime airstrikes on villages near a besieged army base killed 12 civilians, activists said. They also posted a video showing at least 13 bodies laid out Wednesday in a room in a Damascus suburb, some of them women and children. Each side blamed the other for the deaths.

The Qatar Conundrum: The Emirate That Arms Syria’s Rebels Also Embraces Hamas

Mindful of its declining appetite for projecting power in the Middle East, the U.S. is relying on more activist partners in the region such Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to arm the Syrian rebellion. But Tuesday’s visit to Gaza by Qatar’s Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani — to the delight of the territory’s Hamas rulers and Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, while Israel and Fatah fumed — was a reminder that U.S. allies in the region often pursue goals quite different from those of Washington, despite many shared objectives and common enemies. And the relative decline of U.S. influence in the Middle East has seen some of those independently-minded allies grow more assertive in pressing their agendas.

In Monday’s presidential campaign foreign policy debate, Gov. Mitt Romney rejected U.S. military intervention in Syria, noting instead that “The Saudis and the Qataris and the Turks are … willing to work with us. We need to have a very effective leadership effort in Syria, making sure that the insurgents there are armed, and that the insurgents that become armed are people who will be the responsible parties.” President Obama also talked up cooperation with regional allies, but warned that “we have to [make] absolutely certain that we know who we are helping; that we’re not putting arms in the hands of folks who eventually could turn them against us or allies in the region.”

But the Emir’s visit to Gaza makes clear that Qatar, the tiny Emirate whose massive natural gas reserves give it the world’s highest per capita income as well as geopolitical punching power way above its weight, has sharply different ideas from Washington’s about just who the ”responsible parties” will be in a changing Middle East. Hamas, after all, is formally shunned by the U.S. and European powers as a terrorist organization, and Washington has shown little enthusiasm for efforts by Arab governments, including Qatar, to promote reconciliation between the Islamists and the Fatah movement of President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas was reportedly furious at the Qatari leader’s decision to become the first foreign head of state to visit the Hamas-controlled Gaza, effectively blessing the Islamist’ rule there. The Emir’s purpose was to inaugurate Qatar’s $400 billion investment in rebuilding infrastructure smashed in repeated confrontations with Israel — a massive stimulus to an economy choked off by a five-year siege imposed by Israel with Egyptian compliance.

Sheik Hamad seemed unmoved by Abbas’ ire or Washington’s discomfort, his effort to rehabilitate Gaza and coax Hamas into the Arab mainstream prompted by the malign neglect of Gaza by all parties to the now moribund peace process. It’s also a reflection of the political paralysis of Fatah after a decade of passively waiting in vain for the U.S. to restart a credible peace process. And, there’s thinly disguised geopolitical agenda, too: driving a wedge between Iran and Hamas, and drawing the movement back into the moderate Islamist mainstream.

HG Gazans need some Aid to get their infrastructure going. It's unfair. They have been isolated for since 2006 for a while. They need to make real relations rather than rely on Iran. Who was the only country willing to help. Gazans don't have money to pay taxes. The government needs money to function.

I'm glad he helped the Palestinian people.

The problem is nobody wants to give money to Gaza if its going to go towards Hamas weapons and missiles, I read somewhere that 79 missiles were fired into Israel this past weekend right? how come there is money for missiles but not enough for what the Palestinians really need?

You're confusing the two. Hamas has a political government, that money goes into social work, infrastructure. They are building many new things. But still as a government they need allies. And they need to be able to trade. The people are smart in Gaza. They just need the opportunity.

Now Izzedeen Qassam brigades are their military wing. It's completely separate. Those have hidden different leaders who gather money for weopons. And Gaza is in need of a little bit of weapons. They are still extremely weak. But they make it look easy with the rockets. The rockets tell Israel the consequences of bombing Gaza. You must have also read that Israel was bombing Gaza left and right and killed 6 people. Don't be bias of that dude. They pitched off by invading Beit Hanoin( city in Gaza next to Israel border). And following that killed two militants. They started this. It doesn't matter how Hamas responds. They should always respond.

You bomb our cities we won't leave your cities not bombed. You damage our cities we will damage yours. That's how the militants see it. It's just.
