Israel will not allow Syrian military forces south of Damascus: Netanyahu | News about politics
Netanyahu requested the ‘full demilitarization’ of South Syria, where Israel illegally expanded its forces.
Israel will not allow the military forces of the new Syrian governments to act in the territory south of Syria’s capital, Damascus, warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaking to the military ceremony in Israel on Sunday, Netanyahu asked for “complete demilitarization of the southern Syria From the hull of the new Syrian regime in the provinces of Quneitra, Daraa and Suweyd. “
“We will not allow forces from the HTS organization or the new Syrian army to enter the area south of Damascus,” Netanyahu said, citing the Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham group, which led an offensive that overthrew the longtime Syrian leader, Bashar al-Assad last December.
He also warned that Israel would not accept any threats to the Community of Comrade in Syria, who lives in Golan Heightsa Syrian territory illegally occupied by Israel and other parts of southwestern Syria.
Israel used the fall of Al-Assad to expand into the tampon zone between Israeli naked heights and southern Syria, violating the United Nations Agreement in 1974.
AND Druze Have a religious minority found in several countries in the region. In Syria, many expressed opposition to the Israeli expansion in the southwest of the country, and thousands of living in occupied Golan altitudes refused to take over Israeli citizenship.
However, in Israel, the majority of the population supports the Israeli state, and men recruit into the army.
Israel occupies approximately two-thirds of golar heights, with a non-stricken tampon zone that extends into a narrow area of 400 square kilometers (154 km). The rest was controlled by Syria.
In 1974, Israel and Syria reached an agreement on the termination of fire, which found that golar heights would be a demilitarized tampon zone.
But shortly after the fall of Al-Assad last December, the Israeli army moved to the buffer zone and carried out hundreds of air strikes on Syrian military assets.
For years, Israel justified his attacks on Syria, claiming to remove Iranian military goals. However, Iran said that none of his forces are currently in Syria, and the new Syrian government indicated that there was no desire to fight Israel.
Israeli forces have currently established two places on Syrian Mount Hermon and seven others in the tampon zone, said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
On Sunday, Netanyahu said that the Israeli forces would remain on the Hermon I in the tampon zone in occupied Golan altitudes for “an indefinite period of time to protect our community and prevent any threat.”
