TheAltWorld Why are the new Syrian authorities sitting idle?
Will Netanyahu’s plans to separate southern Syria from Damascus and label Druze as “traitors” succeed?
With the help of the US and Trump administration, Benjamin Netanyahu intends to tighten his hold on southern Lebanon and southern Syria to cover up his setbacks in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. He is now focusing on repeating the same scenario in southern Syria after confirming his intention to stay in the five areas in defiance of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. He is confident that no one will deter him militarily, at least for the time being.
Netanyahu demanded the disarmament of the Syrian state from Quneitra to Sweida to Daraa Governorate in his remarks at the graduation ceremony of an Israeli army officer school yesterday. He maintained that he would not evacuate his soldiers from the buffer zones, especially Mount Hermon. He shamelessly warned the Damascus government of a violent retaliation if the Druze community was threatened. He said he wouldn’t allow the new authority’s army or Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham in the south.
After annexing the Golan Heights, Netanyahu wants to “fatten” his entity by annexing southern Syria and separating it from the mother Syrian state with Trump and his Zionist advisors’ support. The collapsing official Arab position and the weakened resistance axis due to recent strikes in Lebanon and Syria present a good chance for him to expand.
The most dangerous part of these plots is sowing discord between the dear Druze community and their Syrian cradle, which is a historical and doctrinal extension of the Syrian Arab cradle, and trying to replace Arabic Islam with Zionism while volunteering to protect it.
Western colonisation and Israel were the greatest threats to the honourable Druze community throughout history. Most notable are the famous Mujahid Sultan Pasha al-Atrash and the martyr Kamal Jumblatt, a fierce leader of Arab and Islamic resistance to the Zionist agenda. His son and heir, Walid Jumblatt, advises community members in occupied Palestine against the Zionist entity’s attempts to distort their image and urges them to stand in the trenches of the Palestinian struggle and reject any attempts to isolate them.
Most southern Syrians opposed this sedition plot, and hundreds staged spontaneous protests and sit-ins in Daraa, Sweida, and Quneitra. They chanted against this Israeli assault and for Syria’s unity as the mother Syrian country. One popular slogan was “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.”
As of writing, the Syrian authorities have not responded to this Israeli annexation conspiracy for southern Syria and Netanyahu and the occupying state’s sowing of dissension to implicate the Druze brothers. We’ve never heard “the response will be at the appropriate time and place.” By their president’s statement that “Syria will not be a centre for any confrontation war with any neighbouring country,” they appear to be continuing their policy of not engaging with the occupying state.
Silence on Israeli expansionist colonial intentions in Syria, Lebanon, and other Arab countries and not challenging them with all possible means is the height of treachery and complicity, and all justifications are rejected. Every Arab and Muslim has a “personal obligation” to safeguard the sacred Arab territory. Gaza, the West Bank, southern Lebanon, and Yemen are role models.
We are sure that our people in Syria will confront this Israeli aggressive attitude, which we do not rule out as the “trigger” for heroic confrontations. The Syria we know fought the usurping Israeli state in all the Arab wars to maintain its honour, sanctity, and dignity. It has seen thousands of martyrs, many aggressions, and unfair starving sieges, and our days are limited.
