Multiple regional reports said on Wednesday that Syria’s President, Ahmad Al-Sharaa, is preparing to deliver a televised address to the nation. The timing and content of the expected speech were not disclosed, and Damascus has yet to publish an official schedule. The anticipated remarks come after separate reports of an Israeli airstrike on the coastal city of Jableh earlier in the day. Israel has not commented on the allegation, and Syrian authorities have provided no details on possible casualties or damage. If confirmed, the appearance would mark Al-Sharaa’s first public statement since the reported strike. Both Damascus and Tel Aviv remained silent late Wednesday, leaving the regional security implications of the incident unclear.
