The secret of Tel Aviv abusing Syrian minorities; Will southern Syria be divided?
In the final months of 2024, a major change in Syria’s geopolitics occurred with the collapse of the Assad regime. Syria, a country that has witnessed many fluctuations in recent years, faced a regime change phenomenon this time with the support of foreign countries and in just a few days. During this process, Abu Muhammad al-Julani, the leader of the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, came to power. The Zionist regime has been targeting the country’s military targets extensively since the early days of the change in the political system in Syria. Tel Aviv has also accelerated its penetration into the strategic depths of Syrian territory by controlling areas of the Golan.
Netanyahu and his allies are trying to exploit the prevailing conditions in Syria to pave the way for the country’s disintegration so that they can have full access to northern Iraq. Accordingly, in the rest of this note, we will try to address the Israeli regime’s actions in Syria and its long-term goals in supporting the Druze to achieve a form of political independence.
Is the Zionist regime seeking to change the northern borders?
The Zionist regime’s support for the Druze became apparent after the start of the conflict between the terrorists of Tahrir al-Sham and the Druze armed men. After the escalation of tension between the two sides in southern Syria, Netanyahu and Katz officially announced that they considered defending the rights of the Druze to be one of their goals! Also, the Zionist authorities offered work and salaries to gain the trust of the Druze living in southern Syria. The Zionist regime, which is looking for a weakened Syria at this time, considers the division of this land to be desirable for advancing its policies because controlling the southern regions of Syria such as Jabal al-Shams and Jabal al-Arab will pave the way for realizing the “David Corridor”.
If the corridor envisioned by Tel Aviv is realized, the areas under the control of the Zionist regime will reach the borders of Shiite Iraq. Therefore, creating allies, however temporary, for the Zionists can pave the way for widespread changes in southern Syria and advance Tel Aviv’s economic goals in the future. The security threat posed by the Israeli army forces in Quneitra, Sweida, Daraa, and even the Jarmana area on the outskirts of Damascus shows how serious the Israeli regime’s plan is for the future of Syria.
In addition, providing the necessary ground for the division of southern Syria will allow the Zionists to create a kind of buffer zone between themselves and Syria. Such an event, rather than defending the rights of the Druze, will allow the Zionists to significantly reduce some of their security concerns regarding the threats posed by the geography of Syria.
Previously, during the Syrian civil war, the forces of the Resistance Axis, with their active presence in this area, did not allow the Israeli army to advance in the Golan Heights and reacted quickly if they crossed the “red lines”. Now, after the change in the political system in Syria, Netanyahu has found the audacity to withdraw from the 1974 agreement and occupy the entire Golan Heights, especially the Hermon Heights. In such circumstances, the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which has now seized power in Syria, is faced with two complicated options. First, choosing the option of war and entering into battle with the Zionist regime without having strategic weapons, and second, moving towards peace and joining the Abrahamic Covenant as the only remaining path to restoring the territorial integrity of Syria!
The Druze minority is vigilant against the Zionist regime’s conspiracy
The Rossiya Al-Youm website wrote in a report on the reaction of the Syrian Druze to the recent statements of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in support of them: Netanyahu’s request to support this tribe has provoked negative reactions among them. Although they are not satisfied with the current situation in Syria, they still emphasize their Syrian identity and support for their country. The Druze are aware that the Zionist regime is seeking to fish from the muddy waters of Syria. Sheikh Adham Abdul-Haq, a resident of the city of Sweida, emphasized that the Zionist regime says one thing and does the opposite in secret. The regime seeks to realize its own interests and divide Syria. Dr. Melham Rashed also emphasized in the suburbs of Damascus that the Druze minority is rooted in Syria and that no one can target it.
Saar’s Doctrine for the Partition of Syria
Gideon Saar, the leader of the Zionist regime’s “New Hope” party, who recently attempted to rebuild its political relations with Netanyahu, officially announced after his appointment as Foreign Minister that the Zionist regime will defend the rights of all minorities in the region, especially the Kurds! These statements were made at a time when the countries of the Eastern Arab region, namely Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, were facing one of the most complex political and security situations since their establishment. Meanwhile, the extensive military assistance of the United States to the Zionists has allowed Tel Aviv to plan to change the map of the region under the name of the “Greater Middle East.”
The Kurdish issue has been one of the most challenging ethnic issues in the region since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The Zionist regime is one of the actors that intends to pave the way for the division of Syria, especially the south of the country, by declaring apparent support for minorities such as the Kurds and Druze. This means that the Zionists are dreaming of the division of Syria.
