On the Syrian issue, Al-Arab newspaper said: "Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that his country will implement within a few days a new operation in Syria against the Kurds supported by the United States ...

In the same context, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper reported on a new Russian-Turkish deal, stressing that Moscow is not satisfied with the speed of Ankara's commitment to implement the Sochi deal for Idlib." Ankara is not satisfied with the pace of Washington's implementation of a "road map" for Manbij. Does this result of a swap involving the entry of Turkey to the areas of North Syria in return for the entry of the Syrian government forces to the south areas of Idlib? "

The newspaper quoted of officials in the so-called "al-Jaish al-Watani" (National Army) of Turkey that "the operation is expected to include" the entire region, from Manbij to Tal Abiyad without exception. "

"The data indicate that Moscow will be satisfied if the Turkish army incursion embarrasses the Americans east of the Euphrates ... and Iran, which is mobilizing militias south of the Euphrates River ..."

The newspaper wondered "The Christmas and New Year will witness two military operations: the first, an attack with Ankara's support towards Ras al-Ain in North Syria, the second, an attack with Damascus's support for Khan Sheikun and Marat al-Numan in southern Idlib?"
