Safaa al-Asam contrasts military rules with Fayyad’s dual roles

WHAT HAPPENED

On August 23, Safaa al-Asam told Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) that a military officer is immediately removed from the army upon entering politics, then contrasted that rule with Falih al-Fayyad serving as both a bloc leader and the head of an authority. The item establishes al-Asam’s criticism but does not establish his factional affiliation or an AAH endorsement.
