00:00According to the announcement made by the rebel group in Syria,
00:04the capital, Damascus, has already been taken,
00:07as well as other cities throughout the country.
00:12And this confirms what we heard here in Israel last night
00:20regarding the fall of the dictatorial regime of President Bayar al-Assad
00:26after 13 years of civil war in the Syrian country
00:30and more than 50 years of a dictatorial government of the Al-Assad family.
00:37It is something that, although in Israel and in various parts of the world
00:41it is still being seen with caution,
00:43in Syria a large part of the population is celebrating
00:46because in some way it comes to cut with a dictatorial state
00:50that they have suffered for many years.
00:54Now, Gaby, I say, because every Sunday we have to call you very often,
01:01what is the normality or what moments of normality are there
01:05if at some point of the year there was or if you think there will be?
01:08I say normality in terms of not suffering this type of tension, right?
01:14Look, Ale, the truth is that the Middle East itself
01:17is a region that lives constantly in a climate of tension.
01:20The conflict between Israel and Palestine is much more known
01:25and it is something that really draws attention to the news
01:29every time something happens, but the reality is that the whole region,
01:33except for Israel, except for the Gaza Strip, West Bank,
01:37the whole region of the Middle East is a region that lives in constant tension
01:43and at this moment it is affecting Syria.
01:46I say, it is something that if it is anecdotal,
01:50that it has just happened a week after Israel and Hezbollah
01:54signed on high fire for a period of 60 days,
01:58high fire that until now has been fulfilled with a lot of tension too,
02:03very between the clutches, as we usually say in Argentina,
02:07but that in great strides it has been fulfilled.
02:09But this of Syria is completely separate
02:13and it is, I would say, the news of the moment.
02:15Yes, Gaby.
02:16Gaby, how are you?
02:17Well, throughout the year we have sent you,
02:20talked to you, sent you these messages.
02:22We always saw you with a sad face, you see,
02:25and I always told you that the truth is that all the information was bad.
02:29I say, this information, do you feel at ease?
02:32Do you really trust?
02:35Because I don't know if you can trust, right?
02:38Look, I don't know if the word is trust, Gaby.
02:40Yes, it gives you a breath of fresh air.
02:44Let's see, to understand a little the situation in the Middle East,
02:48the geopolitics of the Middle East.
02:50We are talking about a dictatorial system that has been in place for more than 50 years.
02:54Syria, which left thousands and hundreds of thousands of dead
02:58by the regime of Bashar al-Assad,
03:02something that perhaps has not been news
03:05not for the United Nations or not for the different international organizations,
03:09but that has left hundreds of thousands of dead throughout all these years,
03:14it has left a country impoverished,
03:16it has left a situation
03:21quite strange in terms of who supports and who does not,
03:25on each side, I mean, on the one hand,
03:28the government replaced by al-Assad,
03:31and on the other hand, the rebels,
03:33that the population, from what we are reading and from the information that comes to us
03:37from Syria in the last few hours,
03:39brings a certain air of tranquility to the Syrian population.
03:44I don't know if it's tranquility, rather, but hope
03:48of what can become a democratic opening in Syria.
03:53And regarding what has to do with Israel,
03:56you know, Israel and Syria are two limitless countries
03:59that have not had an open diplomatic relationship for many years.
04:04It does not bring a situation of tranquility,
04:07but it does bring a moment of waiting for what may happen.
04:10From the Israeli army, from the Israeli government,
04:13they sent messages to the rebels in Syria,
04:17indicating that if there is no intention from them to attack Israel,
04:21there will also be no intention from Israel to attack Syria,
04:25and that, of course, any possibility of reopening diplomatic relations will be celebrated,
04:32but it is still too imminent to think about what may happen.
04:38I think that in Syria, internally, they have too many problems to solve
04:45and to put in order before starting to think not only about the diplomatic relationship with Israel,
04:51but also with the rest of the countries, both in the region and worldwide.
04:56Gaby, how are you? Leo Godoy here.
04:58I have this question. What role does Syria play in the Middle East?
05:03And I also have this second question,
05:05what power, let's say, do the rebels have,
05:10and what power of being able to reject this action of the rebels
05:16does the current government have, let's say, this dictatorship,
05:19if this can end in a civil war that lasts a long time?
05:24And well, the first one I asked you was, what role does Syria play in the Middle East?
05:29Look, the role of Syria in the Middle East has always been a second-rate role.
05:32I mean, the strategic location of Syria as a country has always been,
05:40for example, in terms of what the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah means,
05:45Syria has always been an open country,
05:49so that Iran could send weapons and different types of weapons
05:55from Iran to Lebanon for Hezbollah's army.
06:01At this moment, this is something that concerns Israel,
06:04and that it will continue to operate to delimit the possibility
06:10that Iran continues to send weapons.
06:12Now, it is something, and we were just saying it,
06:15that is happening at this moment,
06:17after Hezbollah and Israel signed this high-fire possibility,
06:22after it has never been weakened and is becoming quite isolated within the Gaza Strip,
06:28after Iran is also weakened, especially in its defense forces,
06:35after what were the direct confrontations between Iran and Israel,
06:40in some way, it opens up the possibility that it starts to normalize,
06:48first in Syria and then in the rest of the Middle East countries.
06:52Now, what you were asking, Leo,
06:54what is the possibility that the government rejects the rebels' measures?
07:00The government has actually already fallen.
07:02I mean, Bashar al-Assad as president, in fact, is no longer in Syria.
07:07Last night, when the city of Damascus was taken over,
07:11the Syrian army almost did not resist,
07:15after the rebels had already taken different central cities in the rest of the country.
07:22There is talk that Bashar al-Assad got on a plane yesterday,
07:27minutes after the city of Damascus was taken over.
07:29It is not known exactly where he went,
07:31and in fact, there are rumors that circulated all morning here in the Middle East
07:36about the plane that was transporting al-Assad and his entire family
07:41having had a technical failure and could have fallen.
07:46So, there is even talk of the possibility that Bashar al-Assad died in that accident.
07:52It is not confirmed information at the moment,
07:55but it is one of the rumors that runs quite strongly throughout the day
08:01in the continuity of the information that is coming to us, which is a lot.
08:05But I say, there is no possibility that the government, as such,
08:08rejects the position of the rebels, because in fact, that is something that it did
08:12during the entire last week, in the various moments of combat,
08:15and that yesterday culminated with what the rebels already called
08:19the fall of the government of Bashar al-Assad.
08:21So, I say, talk about a possible civil war,
08:25in reality, civil war is what was already in Syria during the last 13 years,
08:30and the hope is that this rebellion of the rebels,
08:34ending that civil war, is something that should,
08:38I don't know if in the next hours, but if in the course of the next few days,
08:41begin to discover whether it will really be possible or not.
