Syrian government denies claims of Hezbollah meeting in Türkiye
The Center for Combating Disinformation under the Presidency’s Communications Directorate on Thursday denied claims that Syrian government officials and Lebanese Hezbollah leaders had met in Türkiye. The Syrian government also rejected the claim that such a meeting had taken place.
Claims that Syrian government officials and Lebanese Hezbollah leaders had met in Türkiye were denied in statements from Ankara and Damascus.
The Center for Combating Disinformation under the Presidency’s Communications Directorate said claims circulating in some international media outlets and online did not reflect the truth. The claims alleged that the meeting had been hosted by the National Intelligence Organization.
Claims described as fabricated
The center said the accounts in question had no basis. It added that the information in the claims concerning the date, location, content and talks did not reflect the truth.
The claims were described as fabricated accounts based on unfounded speculation. The center also called on the public to consider only statements from official institutions.
Syrian government also denies meeting claim
The Syrian government said the claim that its officials had held a meeting with Hezbollah in Türkiye was untrue.
Hezbollah’s ties to the Assad administration
Lebanese Hezbollah was among the leading supporters of the Bashar al-Assad administration from 2000 to 2024.
Groups in Syria overthrew the Assad administration in late December 2024. The development brought the Baath administration’s 61-year rule to an end.
The External Media Administration of Syria’s Information Ministry also said in a statement on Thursday that the reports in question did not reflect the truth and that no such meeting had taken place. The claim came to the fore after Reuters reported the same day that Syrian government and Hezbollah representatives had held direct talks in Türkiye to ease tensions between the two sides. Hezbollah did not comment on the claims.
