Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded the full demilitarization of Syria’s southern region, in a move that could lead to a confrontation with the country’s transitional government.
Following the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) invaded the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights and launched hundreds of strikes against the bases and equipment of the now dissolved Syrian Arab Army.
Speaking to cadets graduating from the IDF Ground Forces combat officers course on February 23, Netanyahu said that Israeli troops will stay on the Syrian Hermon and the buffer zone in the Golan Heights for “an unlimited period of time… We will not allow HTS [Hayat Tahrir al-Sham] forces or the new Syrian army to move into territory south of Damascus,” he insisted.
“We demand full demilitarization of southern Syria from troops of the new Syrian regime in the Quneitra, Daraa and al-Suweyda provinces,” the primer said, adding that Israel will not accept any threats to Druze in southern Syria.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed while attending the same ceremony that the IDF had constructed at least nine posts inside Syria.
“[The IDF] built two proper posts atop the summit of Mount Hermon and seven posts in the buffer zone to ensure defense and offense against any challenge,” he said, noting that Israeli troops will remain in the posts “indefinitely.”
The Syrian transitional government, which was appointed by HTS before the group dissolved itself, has condemned IDF operations in the country more than once. Nevertheless, it has so far refrained from challenging Israel in any way, likely due to the fragile situation of the country.
Netanyahu’s demand poses a serious challenge to the government as it will weaken the influence of Damascus in southern Syria, especially in al-Suweyda where local Druze forces are in control.
A decision to challenge the Israeli demand may be very risky. However, leaving the south outside the control of the government could mark the beginning of the collapse of Syria as a unified state. In either case, the country appears to be heading to a costly confrontation with Israel.
just itching for it aren’t you smart boy ?
how many fake names are you going to use today? the usual half a dozen?
just one for you, shithead. 💩💩💩 = 🇮🇱
find that cliff to jump from and the rest of mankind sans the jews, will be happy.
normal zionist/trumpist reward for cooperation -you’ve given us lots, now we want everything. note too that these demands go further than russia was demanding of the ukraine – but don’t expect the western media to say so.

hamas would be better off returning every last one of the hostages in body bags!
israel will be key country in nato 2.0 together with cyprus.
trump last month said i will get back usa from nato 1.0. promises made promises done. trump will kick out turkey and erdogan from nato 2.0.
erdogan said i will send turkish army to israel to invade it. this was the red line for usa, plus hamas, hizbullah propaganda maded by erdogan non stop trump decided to fix it.
incirli will be closed and new bases will be deployed in israel and in cyprus by nato 2.0. this is why trumps says make nato great again. pete hegseth secretery of defence said the same at germany. turkey will be replaced with cyprus and israel.
“nato” will not exist soon. neither will the “eu.” neither will israhell.
not the dirt bags would ever know but actually in the christian world there is no place of earth more significant that jerusalem to god and his son jesus another jew born of a jewess mother raised in the jewush religion, preceded the islamic world by thousands of years. islam.didnt happen until 500 years after jesus s death for a start and more or less coincidentally one would have to say, around the same time war thirsty rome decided to make chrisitainty their religion.

“… leaving the south outside the control of the government could mark the beginning of the collapse of syria as a unified state.”
syria is less unified than ever!
divide from within to conquer from without. they’re not children with no experience of political intrigues duplicities disingenuities or deceptions like you. they’re so far ahead of you’re thinking that you havent a clue what they’re up to. imo
and the fact that they’ve been, as institutions managing whole nations by social engineering, for centuries, and so are totally experienced at presenting the story so as to make the huddled masses think they understand the motivations. they don’t they don’t know what has happened in the past, they don’t know what is happening in the present and they won’t know what’s going on in the future. same old…
and they won’t even ever know it because that’s the intention. they will think what they’ve been intended to believe, as being their own ideas, are in fact reality they aren’t. it’s like grade 2 kids thinking they understand the curriculum councils intentions in constructing their course. they don’t have the inside information the experience the maturity the wisdom and no pretending will change that.
big-time boofhead doesn’t wear that yellow rag squiggle 🎗️ on his lapel, so beloved of all the other faithful israelites. perhaps he’s a fraud.

an israeli man in jerusalem attacked an israeli woman with an axe. the woman, who was 70, was left with severe injuries. the attacker mistakenly believed she was a christian. he was motivated by hatred of christians. christian clergy and tourists are routinely abused, spat upon, and assaulted by jews. they are often assaulted by israeli police. charming folk.
the world demand netanyahus’ head on a platter, the start of a better world till now spoiled by the jews.
