Syria weighing whether to join Makkah pact: foreign minister
Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani on Saturday said Damascus was considering whether to join the Makkah defence pact that binds Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye.

How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
