Jorge Bergoglio enters a straight leg in the G20 in Saint Petersburg and sends a message to the heavy Catholic Denis McDonough, Obama's chief of staff, to dissuade the U.S. to intervene militarily in Syria.

For Papa Francesco there is a just war, no war is humanitarian appeal for peace in Syria has also convinced Badreddin Ahmed Hassoun, spiritual leader of Sunni Islam that Saturday in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, propose, at the invitation of the Pope, a day of fasting and prayer for Syria.

President Obama is trying to convince, we have to wait at least until the middle of next week for the final vote, the Congress to support military action against Syria to punish President Bashar Al- Assad for ordering the killing of hundreds of people with toxic gas.

But what will the punishment consist of ? Military targets hit by U.S. missiles? Bombardment of the presidential palace in the style of Assad Regan bombed the palace of Gaddafi? Fixed targets , which could include airfields? For the moment, we know with certainty that the attack will not follow an operation "boots on ground".

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Head of the Foreign Affairs Committees of the Iranian parliament Hossein Hosseini Naqavi have said in recent days that any Western attack on Syria would assign the right to react against Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East.

 Russia and China said they would not accept any interventionist position and place his veto any UN resolution against Syria, in particular, the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has officially asked to open a discussion at the United Nations to assess the risks of global instability the area due to a hypothetical missile attack U.S. , in consideration of the fact that the evidence of the use of gas Sarin by Assad documentarily have not been presented.

The Syrian government denies that he gassed his own people and has vowed to defend themselves from attack Westerners.

The majority of the population until yesterday, in favor of foreign interventions, which now seem a reality begins to worry, nourishes the justified fear that in case of intervention there may be many victims among the civilian population.

Two years of civil war in Syria have caused more than 100,000 deaths and determined at least 1.7 million refugees across its borders.

The approximately three-quarters of Muslims of Syria belong to the Sunni sect. However, the Assad dynasty, which ruled the country from 1970 belongs to the minority Alawite sect, which is close to Shiite Islam.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is a staunch ally of Assad's government and has provided (and provides), military training and economic development.

Numerous conflicts parallel and the bloody civil war of March 2011 set fire to Syria.

And 'now certain that the guerrilla struggle against the Syrian regime is deeply divided between gangs and groups Qaedist more moderate, the novelty now seems to be an escalation of the internal conflict that now flows in a war within a war, a deadly "all against all" .

On 11 July he was in fact killed Kamal Hamami, leader of an organization composed mostly of deserters from the armed forces loyalist, called "Free Syrian Army" and considered by the more generic Syrian resistance too pro-Western.

John Kerry’s visit to the Middle East provides several signals on political issues in the region. In particular, it brings back into focus the goal of kick starting the immobile regional peace process.  

The first signal is the American decision for Amman to be the meeting place with the Palestinians. The message is to both Palestinians and Jordanians foreshadowing Jordan’s role in the upcoming settlement process, which, if all goes well, will be looking much healthier in the coming weeks.

“Security is the priority” - This could be the slogan of the coming period for most of the countries in the region. As the Syrian crisis passes through a new phase, and there is a real focus on putting an end to the violence, there will be consequences for the region, mostly regarding security. Most of the countries are expected to face real security challenges, especially those who were part of the conflict in Syria, on political or a geographical level.

Jordan is one of the countries that could face this kind of challenge. Many indicators show that Jordan has adopted more proactive plans that help to maintain the security and stability of the country.

Political and security impacts of the crisis in Syria are rolling through the region. From the political crisis in Turkey to the security impacts in Iraq and Lebanon. Syria’s neighbors should stand ready to deal with the new features of the crisis. Jordan should also be ready to face various scenarios related to the complication of the crisis moving across the Syrian border. 

Eleven countries seem ready to increase their engagement in helping rebels group fighting Assad’s regime. That is what emerged from the latest “Syria Friends Group” summit hosted in Doha (Qatar, 21-22 June). Far from the 144 participants of the first Group meeting in Marrakech (12 December 2012), there were only eleven countries in Doha; and yet United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates declared themselves ready and inclined to support the anti-regime guerrilla with weapons and equipment supplies. In Al-Thani, Qatar Emir, «force is necessary to achieve justice, and the provision of weapons is the only way to achieve peace in Syria's case». British Foreign Secretary William Hague declarations followed the same line, although he reiterated that London had yet to take a formal decision: «we won't get a political solution if Assad and his regime think they can eliminate all legitimate opposition by force, and so we do have to give assistance to that opposition», he said.
