DAMASCUS, Nov. 20 -- The battles' heat is scorching Syria's northern city of Aleppo with the prospects so dim as a result of the widening gap between the conflicting parties as well as the ideas for defusing the tension.
Aleppo, Syria's largest and once an economic hub, is under the spotlight again, with the intensified battles, which makes the situation in Aleppo a summary of the entire conflict in Syria, as it has become an arena for international conflict.
Backed by Russia, the Syrian government wants the rebels in the rebel-controlled part east of Aleppo to evacuate the city, for the army forces and government institutions to take over.
In the other hand, the Western-backed rebels refuse the government solution, turning down several calls for safe exit out of Aleppo.
The UN special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, arrived in the capital Damascus to discuss a plan and a proposition for ending the violence there with Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem.
In a press conference held Sunday evening after his meeting with al-Moallem, Mistura acknowledged that he had "substantial differences" with al-Moallem regarding solving the situation in Aleppo.
One of the differences, Mistura said, is about the Syrian forces' bombing of hospitals in the rebel-held part east of Aleppo, as Mistura said that the Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem totally denied the claims.
"We do have a difference of opinion as there is a total denial of any aerial bombing of hospitals in eastern Aleppo while we have reports that there has been tragic bombing of hospitals in Aleppo and that's why we should be allowed to send a verification team to Aleppo...to verify the damage of the hospitals," Mistura said.
