I’m getting a little pessimistic about Syria but if the country ever does open up again I hope the rest of the world will get to try Aleppo soap. It’s reputed to be the oldest soap in the world and is made with olive oil as a base and infused with various other natural oils and musks. It’s a very elite feeling to use Aleppo soap.

do you believe that it will fall apart again? I've always wanted to visit the place.

Israel invading and de facto annexing everything south of Damascus is really bad sign. Among other things it confirms sanctions are going to largely remain.

wow that's really bad for them. I remember the syrian administration were trying to signal that they will cease hostilities.
