Al-Baʻth (Arabic: البعث, lit. 'The Resurrection') is an Arabic language newspaper published by the Baʻth Party in Syria and other Arab countries and territories, including Lebanon and Palestine.
History
[edit]Al-Baʻath was founded in 1948[1] and is an organ of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party of Syria.[2] In addition to the daily, there are also three more state-owned papers in Syria, Al Thawra, Tishreen and Syria Times.[3] Al-Ba'ath is based in Damascus.[4]
From 2002 to 2004 Mahdi Dakhlallah was the editor-in-chief of Al-Ba'ath.[5][6]
Following the fall of the Assad regime, the editorial board of Al-Ba'ath published a statement announcing its intention to continue publishing and its support of the Syrian transitional government.[7]
