Syrian actor Abbas Al-Nouri, renowned for his role as Abu Issam in the popular series Bab Al-Hara, has expressed profound discontent with his country's current state. 

Iran Press/West Asia: In a recent statement, he remarked, "I have never seen in my life a people celebrating while Israel occupies a third of its land, and Turkey nibbles away at another third," highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes affecting Syria12.

Al-Nouri's comments reflect a deep concern for the cultural and artistic landscape of Syria, stating that "extremists stifle the breath of art, women, and minorities" within the nation. 

He emphasized that such circumstances warrant a distance from those who celebrate while the country is in turmoil, suggesting that "these people should be kept away from" the realities facing Syria today35.

The actor's remarks resonate with many who share his sentiment regarding the challenges and struggles faced by Syrians amid ongoing conflicts and external pressures. His outspoken views underscore a broader call for reflection on national identity and priorities during times of crisis.

Abbas Al-Nouri was one of Bashar Assad's critics.
