Arab Daily: Jordan Trying to Officially Normalize Ties with Syrian Gov’t

Jordan will most possibly reopen the Nasib-Jaber border crossing with Syria after a similar move in Taribil passageway in Iraq, a leading Arab daily wrote.

According to the Arabic-language al-Ray al-Youm newspaper, Amman grown disappointed at the dissident groups stationed in Southern Syria as it has come to realize that they are not after resolving their problems with the Syrian government, specially on issues related to Jordan’s key interests to reopen Nasib-Jaber border crossing.

Noting that reopening the passageway will pave the ground for resumption of ties with Syria, it wrote that the development will bring economic and trade blossoming for Jordan, specially as Damascus is preparing for reconstruction efforts and taking assistance from its friendly neighbors.

The Arab newspaper underlined that Jordan has made its decision to reopen the passageway “and now the only remaining issue is striking an agreement between the Syrian government and the new bordering officials in Jordan whose details have not yet been revealed by Amman”.

Syrian army troops have fortified their positions along 30km of borderline with Jordan and managed to close off the main supply routes of the terrorist groups from Jordan to the Southern part of the war-hit country.

Iraqi Forces Retake Major Area near ISIL-Held Hawija

Iraqi forces recaptured on Monday a strategic area on their way to retake ISIL bastion Hawija, Southwest of Kirkuk, popular mobilization commanders said.

Hadi al-Ameri, a high-profile commander within the Popular Mobilization Forces, said the force, backing the army’s Counter-Terrorism Service, liberated al-Rashad region, Southeast of Hawija. He said troops began clearing the region from booby-traps, Iraqi News reported.

Earlier on Monday, Iraqi military media said Iraqi forces advanced towards al-Rashad as part of the second phase of operations to liberate Hawija, which launched Friday.

The first phase of operations launched on September 24th, and managed to retake Eastern Shirqat, an ISIL haven in neighboring Salahuddin province.

Parallel operations were launched late September targeting ISIL havens in Western Anbar.
On Sunday, military media said joint forces recaptured 28 villages around Hawija with a few hundreds of militants killed since the launch of operations.

A wide-scale campaign launched with the backing of Iraqi Army’s allied forces in 2016 to recapture areas occupied by ISIL since 2014, when the militants declared a self-proclaimed rule in Iraq and neighboring Syria based in Iraq’s Mosul.

Iraqi government, coalition and popular forces recaptured Mosul, the group’s former capital, and the neighboring town of Tal Afar early July and late August.
