Social media users recently circulated a false claim alleging that UN Special Envoy to Syria Geir Pedersen accused the Syrian Ministry of Defense of overseeing massacres in the coastal region. The posts claimed Pedersen said, “The forces that entered the Syrian coast and killed civilians and wiped out entire families were under the supervision of the Syrian Ministry of Defense, and among them were foreigners.” This claim is misleading.

Journalist Alastair Campbell, in a discussion with his colleague Rory Stewart following their interview with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa on The Rest Is Politics podcast, claimed that Al-Sharaa entered Syria from Iraq alongside Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaybani. However, this claim is false. Later, Syrian journalist Mohammed Al-Faisal stated on Facebook that Campbell and Stewart attributed the claim about Al-Shaybani’s presence in Iraq to their interview with Al-Sharaa, suggesting that the information came directly from the president. However, this is also false, as Al-Sharaa never made such a statement during the interview.
