For the first time since the fall of the Syrian regime, Bassem Yakhour arrives in Damascus.

Artist Bassem Yakhour arrived in the Syrian capital, Damascus, today, after a long absence following the fall of the Syrian regime.

Bassem Yakhour arrives in Damascus Press sources revealed that Yakhour arrived at Damascus International Airport through the mediation of the Drama Production Committee.

Syrian production manager Mahmoud Shalash posted a group of photos from Damascus with Basem Yakhour and a group of Syrian artists, including Tarek Marashli, Laith Al-Mufti, and others.

Fiery statements after the fall of the regime Bassem Yakhour sparked widespread controversy after the fall of the Syrian regime and his appearance in an interview in which he discussed the recent events in Syria. In response to the criticism, Yakhour emphasized the importance of freedom of expression, saying, "Every person has the right to freedom of expression, as long as they do not harm anyone. Whether their opinion is right or wrong is a matter for discussion later."

He added, "No one has the right to deprive another of his right to freedom of expression, because that distances us from the concept of real change, which is not only linked to power, but begins with changing minds."

He also did not reveal during his interview the date of his return to Syria, while some expected his decision not to return at all, especially since he completed filming his 2025 Ramadan series “The Seven” in Lebanon after the fall of the regime.

Preparing for the "Swords of the Arabs" show On the other hand, Yakhour is preparing to start showing his new series “Swords of the Arabs” on the 30th of this month, and the “Shahid” platform has released the official trailer for it. It is the largest historical work that has been long awaited after a period of postponement.

The video received a huge response on social media, reviving the suspense for fans of historical Arab dramas. Shahid's Instagram account commented: "Your date with history is when the story is told from the edge of the sword, the swords of the Arabs."

The work is collectively written under the supervision of the author Dr. Muhammad Al-Batoush, and directed by Samer Jabr. A group of Arab drama stars are participating in the work, such as Jamal Suleiman, Salloum Haddad, Basem Yakhour, Munther Rayhana, Akef Najm, Nidal Najm, Muhammad Miftah, and others.
