Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the complete demilitarization of southern Syria to prevent military operations from the recently established Syrian regime. This demand aims to secure the region south of Damascus and protect the Druze community. Netanyahu warned against the presence of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham organization and highlighted Israel's concerns regarding border security in the context of territorial expansion following the recent changes in Syria's leadership. Israel's actions raise questions regarding adherence to the 1974 UN ceasefire agreement with Syria concerning the Golan Heights area.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would not permit any military presence from the new Syrian regime or the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in southern Syria, specifically south of Damascus, reinforcing Israel's interest in maintaining control over its borders and security.
In recent developments, Israel has exploited the change in Syria's leadership to reinforce its territorial claims, contrary to international agreements, and will ensure that regional militias do not threaten the Druze community or Israeli positions in the Golan Heights.
