Abed Fahed’s Passionate Defense
In a widely shared interview with Blinx, Abed Fahed fiercely defended Fawakherji, condemning the syndicate’s hasty decision. “If we keep strangling people, we can’t rebuild our country,” he said. “Removing her from the syndicate was rushed. There should’ve been dialogue. She’s a Syrian star with a rich career and national identity. We need patience with each other.” His remarks highlighted the need for unity and fairness in handling such disputes.
Laith Hajjo Demands Syndicate’s Resignation
Director Laith Hajjo went further, calling for the syndicate’s resignation due to its “unjust and illogical” actions. “The syndicate has failed miserably in months, repeating the mistakes of its predecessor,” he stated. Hajjo also criticized Natour’s leadership, noting, “While victims lie on the ground, the syndicate head celebrates and sings. He’s replicated years of failure in mere months.” His bold stance amplified the controversy surrounding the syndicate’s decisions.
Slava Fawakherji’s Grateful Response
Fawakherji reshared the Blinx interview on her X account, expressing appreciation: “To the great star Abed Fahed and the great director Laith Hajjo, thank you both.” Her response underscored the support she’s received from colleagues amid the syndicate’s contentious ruling.
Details of the Delisting Decision
Last week, Mazen Natour announced Fawakherji’s removal from the syndicate, accusing her of concealing crimes of the former Syrian regime and failing to acknowledge them. The decision followed Fawakherji’s public comments on recent Syrian events and the regime’s collapse, which stirred significant backlash.
