Abdel Halim Al-Khaddam, the former Syrian vice president who defected from the Assad regime at the end of 2005, stated that Mekdad’s remarks pose a challenge to the will of the Syrian people.

During an interview with Radio Sawa, he further expressed that these statements send a message to Syrians, suggesting that this criminal will continue to rule over them, and therefore they should surrender. However, he firmly believes that such a statement will only strengthen the revolution and enhance its resilience. Mekdad and his master, the orchestrator of the atrocities, will realize that their fate will mirror that of Muammar Gaddafi, who also used similar rhetoric but eventually met his downfall and demise. Consequently, the destiny of every tyrant in Syria or elsewhere will be no different.

The Syrian opposition and Western nations demand the departure of Assad as a prerequisite for a transitional period of power in Syria. On January 6, Assad presented a “political solution” to the crisis in his country, spanning over 22 months. The proposed solution entails holding a national conference under the supervision of the current government, during which a national charter will be put to a referendum, followed by parliamentary elections and the formation of a new government. However, there was no mention of him relinquishing power.
