انسحاب مفاجئ في حلب لصالح زوجة المرشح

The withdrawal of the Media Relations Director in Aleppo, Moataz Khattab, from running for the People's Assembly in favor of his wife has sparked widespread debate on Syrian social media platforms. This step, according to Khattab's official statements, was taken to consider the conflict of interest among relatives and to give his partner the opportunity to participate in the elections.

Supporting Women's Empowerment

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Sheibani commented on the withdrawal, affirming that it reflects "a civilized image of Syria" and highlights the state's respect for the role of women in public life. For his part, Khattab thanked the minister and praised the ongoing support for empowering women in building the country's future.

Widespread Interaction

The Director of American Affairs in Syria, Qutaiba Idlibi, and the Syrian public engaged in extensive discussions about the decision, noting that it is a model to be emulated in enhancing the status of women. Comments varied between admiration for the spirit of family solidarity and humor regarding the strength of the wife's character.

Election Updates

In a related context, the spokesperson for the Higher Committee for the Elections of the People's Assembly, Nawar Najma, announced the extension of the period for accepting appeals against members of the electoral bodies until noon today (Sunday), to give citizens a greater opportunity to exercise public oversight over the selection of members.
