Accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that media figure Asia Hisham was appointed as an advisor to Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, as part of an effort to strengthen the presidential advisory team with media and political expertise.
Kashaf's team, through digital verification using keyword searches and searches across open sources and news databases, found no official statement issued by the Presidency or any government body confirming the validity of this appointment, nor did any credible media outlet publish a report on the matter. Media figure Asia Hisham also categorically denied the claim through her official account on the X platform, affirming that what was being circulated was merely a rumor with no basis in truth.
Why is this claim misleading?
Fabricated news: no statement was issued by the Presidency or any government body confirming the appointment of Asia Hisham as an advisor to the Syrian president, and the media figure herself categorically denied the report, confirming that the claim is not based on any official source.
