He Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahuhas stated that he wants to “conserve” the occupied territories in Syria, thus renewing his defense of the Israeli presence on Mount Hermon (Syria) and the buffer zone in a position in which the Executive he leads will “maintain moral superiority“, as he himself has put it.
His words came after, the day before, Al Shara accused Israel of export your crises to your country and stated that in Damascus they are working with “influential countries around the world to pressure Israel to withdraw,” and that they all “approve” of their demand. At the same time, Iran warned last Monday that Israel’s “acts of aggression” in Syrian territory represent “a matter of regional concern.”
However, Netanyahu has assured that “not everything is clear in the public discourse”, and has alluded in this sense to the normalization of relations with Arab countries without the recognition of a Palestinian state. “They said, ‘It can’t happen without this and without that.’ They also said the same thing about the Abraham Accords,” he said.
Likewise, he has highlighted that his Government has carried out changes on a “tectonic” scale, although he has warned that this does not have to mean that “the (Iranian) Axis does not try to interfere.” “We are done with tolerance. We see a threat and we act,” the Israeli president indicated regarding a possible confrontation with Tehran or its allies and recalling the attacks against the Central Asian country in June, to which “fortunately (…), the American president (Donald Trump) decided to join.”
Since Israel decided to invade Syrian territory beyond the 1974 separation lineCiting security reasons due to the war in Gaza, its army has launched numerous attacks, such as the latest incursion at the end of last month against the town of Beit Yin, near the capital, Damascus, an operation that resulted in the death of more than a dozen civilians, according to Syrian authorities.
