Al-Ba'ath

Al-Ba'ath (Arabic: البعث, lit.'The Resurrection') is an Arabic language newspaper published by the Ba'ath Party in Syria and other Arab countries and territories, including Lebanon and Palestine.

History

Al-Ba'ath was founded in 1948 as an organ of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party of Syria. In addition to the daily, there are also three more state-owned papers in Syria: Al Thawra, Tishreen and Syria Times.[needs update?] Al-Ba'ath is based in Damascus.

From 2002 to 2004 Mahdi Dakhlallah was the editor-in-chief of Al-Ba'ath.

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.
