In a surprising move, the People’s Assembly of the Syrian regime has approved the prosecution of two of its members, Mujahid Ismail and Khaled Zubeidi, citing allegations of fraud and misappropriation of public funds. This decision does not automatically remove them from their positions but allows for judicial procedures and investigations. If found guilty, they may lose their membership.

Zubeidi, a businessman with multiple companies in Syria, and Ismail, leader of the Baath Brigades militia, have faced controversy in the past. Ismail, the son of a former military officer with ties to the Assad family, has a history of aggression, including incidents of physical assault and threats against political figures.
