Syrian and international media reported that rebels had taken control of the Syrian capital, Damascus, and that the president had been overthrown. Bashar al-Assad fled the country and landed in Russia this weekend.

American political expert Josh Roginforeign policy and national security columnist at The Washington Postresponded to the reports on X by writing: “Syria is free. The rebels won. The people have freed themselves from tyranny. Freedom has won. Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and Assad lost. Historical. The road ahead for Syria will not be easy. But it will be better than the past. The world should celebrate the liberation of Syria and help it succeed.”

Vice President Elect J.D. Vance responded to Rogin’s post, writing, “As President Trump said, this is not our fight and we should stay out of it.” »

Vance continued: “Aside from that, opinions like the ones below make me nervous. The last time this guy celebrated events in Syria, we saw a massive massacre of Christians and a refugee crisis that destabilized Europe.”

Rogin responded to the comment about the “mass massacre of Christians” by writing: “For anyone saying this will lead to a massacre of Christians: I interviewed the bishop of Aleppo. He told me that his community was safe and that he credited Syrians with being able to live together. He said not to get caught up in the propaganda that Assad was the protector of Christians.”

Bishop Ephraim Maalouli of Aleppo reported Sunday that there had been no threats or restrictions on Christian prayers “with the exception of a recent Russian airstrike on a Christian school in Aleppo,” according to the newspaper. Jerusalem Post.

Maalouli said: “We are fine and will stay in our city of Aleppo. We will stand with our community in all circumstances, from the most difficult to the best. Prayers continue in our churches.
