Abu Mohamad al-Julani as seen in his last video message.
The leader of al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the de-facto ruler of the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib, has warned from any rapprochement between Turkey and Syria.
In a video message released by HTS’s media network, Amjad, on January 2, Abu Mohamad al-Julani called the ongoing talks between the two countries are “a serious deviation.”
“The ongoing Russian-sponsored talks between Ankara and Damascus are a dangerous deviation that affect the goals of the Syrian revolution,” the terrorist leader said in the video message, which was titled “We Will Not Reconcile.”
Addressing the Syrian “regime,” al-Julani said “do not rejoice in what is happening, for what has passed is more than what remains, and your hour is approaching.”
Al-Julani went on to call on all militant armed factions in Greater Idlib and nearby Turkish-occupied areas in northern Syria to joint HTS in the face of the “challenge” posed by Moscow, Ankara and Damascus. The call was likely an attempt by the terrorist leader to take advantage of the situation to further expand the influence of his group.
HTS released the video message following reports about a plan for a Turkish withdrawal from northern Syria that was discussed during the breakthrough meeting between the defense ministers of Ankara and Damascus in Moscow last month.
Syria and its allies halted their ground operations against HTS and other terrorist groups in Greater Idlib in 2020 to avoid a confrontation with Turkey, who deployed a large force in the region. Thus, any Turkish withdrawal from there will likely mark the end of HTS.
It’s worth noting that HTS stepped up its attacks on Syrian government forces around Greater Idlib in the last few weeks in what appears to be an attempt to stir up tensions between Damascus and Ankara.
Despite facing some criticism from the Syrian opposition, Turkey is going forward with its plan to restore ties with Syria. The foreign ministers of the two countries are set to meet in Moscow in the second half of the month.
Al-Julani’s panic from the talks between Ankara and Damascus confirm the importance of Russia’s efforts in this regard. The main target of the talks is to form a joint mechanism to eliminate all terrorist groups in Syria.
Nutanyahu, AIPAC and their puppets in the government, the intel and in the military must be having a nervous breakdown. Their plot to topple Bashar al-Asad and break up Syria has completely failed. HTS and PKK-YPG-SDF terrrorists will eventually be hunted down, eliminated and the whole of Syria will again be ruled by the legitimate UN recognized central government.
Netanyahu is not scared of that though.
thats a big chance so solve the syrian problem at once.
withdraw all the turks from idlib, than the SAA and allies can launch a massive offensive to liberate all of idlib.
after this job is finished, give the syrian kurds in northeast syria an ultimatum to surrender and hand over all theyr heavy armament to the SAA.
if they refuse, than launch a massive military ofensive with SAA and allies from south and west, and turkey from north, but with the garanty that the turks will leave syria after the kurd problem is solved.
This is probably the correct scenario.
“what has passed is more than what remains” – Terrorist controlled territories are now only a fraction of what they were 7 years ago, so this statement is true except it’s HIS time that coming to an end, not the other way around, lol stupid zionist rat is delusional. If Turkey is serious about peace then they should either arrest Julani and give him to Syrian authorities or tip them off on his location so that a Kalibr missile can vaporize him and his crew. This would be a great start for liberating Idlib and ending the war.
I see Julani rotting in a Turkish prison.
Those head hacking savages wouldn’t last long without Turkey,it shows what scum they are,if they had spent half the time fighting Israeli gangsters instead of Syrians we might get somewhere,but they are helping Zionist thugs.
Israel was one of the only country in the world that openly said “We should come in terms with ISIL.”
A few years later the whole world find out that Israel, US, UK, NATO, Wahhabis States and Turkey were supporting these sub-humans in Syria and Iraq.
I love the picture were Zionist soldiers and ISIL talking together as if they were buddy-buddy and knew each other.
I guess the leaders of HTS and all the other groups in Idlib had better be planing on their exit strategy. The Syrians will come looking for them and it will not be pretty.
Israeli Airforce means; Al kaide and Isis Airforce in syria in ıraq and in every where!
And israeli will loose every thing.
