On 26 November 2019, President al-Assad granted an interview to Rai News 24 journalist, Monica Maggioni.

It was agreed that the interview would air on 2 December on both Italian Rai News 24 and Syrian national media outlets.

Early on the morning of 2 December, the Italian channel decided to cancel the broadcast with no clear explanation.

However, Syriana Analysis shares the interview in full to the general public, in order for them to judge.
