[00:02:16] mentality, on more than three its inception, on cars moving in a single convoy
[00:02:18] a hostile mentality, on in the central Quneitra countryside, threatening to target them
[00:02:21] and endanger the lives of civilians, at a
[00:02:24] time when Israeli occupation forces continue
[00:02:27] their aggressions on Syrian territories. Syria TV

[00:02:37] past.
[00:02:41] In a new step imposed by Israeli occupation forces in southern
[00:02:45] Syria, they are moving from incursions, violations, and indiscriminate
[00:02:49] shelling to imposing restrictions on movement and travel, amidst
[00:02:53] threats to target any convoy that includes more than
[00:02:56] three vehicles. On the outskirts of the villages of
[00:03:00] Al-Samadaniya Al-Gharbiya, Rasam Al-Rawadi, and the destroyed Quneitra in the central countryside
[00:03:04] of the governorate, occupation forces posted road
[00:03:07] signs warning civilians against moving
[00:03:10] in convoys of more than three vehicles, threatening to target them
[00:03:15] to an area close to and endanger their lives.
[00:03:18] Israel, in its incursions and also in The placement of warning signs coincided with
[00:03:21] excavation and bulldozing operations carried out by occupation forces in the Al-Ma'kar
[00:03:24] area near the gate of Tal Abu Al-Ghithar in the southern
[00:03:27] Quneitra countryside.
[00:03:30] These steps come at a time when Israeli occupation forces
[00:03:35] a political cost, it is not continue their attacks on Syrian territories, with
[00:03:37] incursions, indiscriminate shelling, and killing of civilians. Syria
[00:03:41] TV correspondent documented
[00:03:43] 327
[00:03:47] new rules in violations by Israeli occupation forces last October
[00:03:50] in the countryside of Quneitra, Daraa, and Damascus, where he pointed
[00:03:54] to the variety of violations, including
[00:03:56] tightening on incursions, detention of Syrian citizens, shelling,
[00:03:59] and killing. The Israeli air force flying in
[00:04:02] Syrian airspace and the
[00:04:06] known to many occupation's persistence in its escalatory matter, on steps in southern Syria and the options for confrontation, in fact, on
[00:04:09] continuous tightening of restrictions on the movement of Syrian civilians raise
[00:04:12] questions about the essence of what it seeks
[00:04:14] look at the region from and about the steps it wants to achieve
[00:04:18] in the coming
[00:04:19] days.
[00:04:23] On this topic, I welcome Khalid Khalil, a journalist
[00:04:26] specializing in Israeli affairs, live with us from Damascus, and Abdel
[00:04:30] Mawla Al-Hariri, a member of the People's Assembly, from Damascus, and Dr.
[00:04:34] Amjad Shihab El-Din, Professor of Law and International
[00:04:37] Relations, from occupied Jerusalem, and Ibrahim Al-Thalji, a member of the Political
[00:04:41] Committee of the Golan Heights Residents'
[00:04:44] new occupation in installations, and also by Gathering, live with us from Bremen. Welcome,
[00:04:47] No escape from my dear guests. I will start with you, Mr. Khalid Khalil.
[00:04:50] It is controlling Let's analyze these Israeli movements. In what
[00:04:53] context do they fall? And with the escalating pace of Israeli movements in southern
[00:04:56] Syria, what do the Israeli occupation forces want
[00:05:00] in this
[00:05:01] serious. Emptying the region, emptying this particular region?
[00:05:03] this, this issue lives Greetings, Sudeima, to you and to the esteemed
[00:05:06] viewers. Regarding the warning signs that the Israeli occupation
[00:05:11] The occupation does not army published, I believe they are an evasive attempt by
[00:05:14] Tel Aviv to circumvent the legal repercussions that
[00:05:17] demand Israel to
[00:05:20] take precautionary measures to prevent crimes
[00:05:24] of murder and war crimes, especially those it commits in Syria. This matter
[00:05:27] comes after the martyrdom of the Syrian citizen
[00:05:30] Moaz Salameh last week, when the Israeli occupation
[00:05:34] army issued an official statement and
[00:05:37] said that it had detected a threat and
[00:05:40] that it was investigating
[00:05:44] circumvention because there are
[00:05:47] uh-huh Yes.
[00:05:50] its occupation measures, as well as human rights
[00:05:54] and legal organizations accusing Israel of committing
[00:05:57] war crimes and abusing people. In fact, what
[00:06:01] Tel Aviv is doing in Syria is considered a described crime of aggression
[00:06:04] under international humanitarian law
[00:06:07] and under the Rome Statute, in addition to
[00:06:11] being a clear and blatant violation of the United
[00:06:15] Syrian territories. Um,
[00:06:18] as for the continuation of these attacks amid
[00:06:20] the Israeli elections and the inability
[00:06:24] of Israeli competitors to achieve the decisive percentage, it is
[00:06:28] a kind of conflict management that Tel
[00:06:31] Aviv is conducting
[00:06:34] in the southern Syrian region. This matter relates to the security
[00:06:37] dimension that dominates the elections, especially after October
[00:06:41] 7th. Israel has resorted to what it calls preemptive
[00:06:45] measures, i.e., establishing safe zones
[00:06:48] and transferring the battle to enemy territory. I believe that
[00:06:52] Israel wants to establish a fait accompli on the ground,
[00:06:55] exploiting the Syrian timing
[00:06:58] to pressure Damascus to obtain negotiating gains, in addition
[00:07:02] to anticipating any future regional settlement. Dr.
[00:07:06] Amjad, I would like to address with you the legal
[00:07:09] aspect, and since you are a professor of international law.
[00:07:12] My guest just mentioned that it is an attempt
[00:07:15] to circumvent what is happening by the Israeli
[00:07:18] occupation, and these attempts occurred after
[00:07:22] the martyrdom of the Syrian citizen Moaz Salameh.
[00:07:25] The legal description of these
[00:07:27] violations and this escalation by the Israeli occupation in southern
[00:07:31] Syria, how can it be interpreted? And are we really facing a permanent
[00:07:34] occupation or a temporary occupation under a security
[00:07:38] pretext, as the Israeli
[00:07:39] occupation claims?
[00:07:42] Yes, my greetings to you, Professor Dima, and to your esteemed guests,
[00:07:46] and to all the viewers on Syria channel. The position of international
[00:07:49] law, politically and legally, is very
[00:07:51] clear. Even in the UN
[00:07:55] committee's investigation in October
[00:07:58] 2026, it was clear that the detention
[00:08:02] of Syrian citizens and also the violation of Syrian
[00:08:06] sovereignty and the occupation of territories are considered
[00:08:09] war crimes. But the main problem is the absence. political
[00:08:12] will in the international community and also the absence of a decision.
[00:08:16] Even in the Security Council, the Security
[00:08:19] Council's position was very clear in 2026 that
[00:08:23] Israel must abide by the disengagement
[00:08:26] agreement of 1974. But
[00:08:31] doing so, is repeating
[00:08:34] the same experience it had with the Palestinian
[00:08:37] territories. It is testing the waters and waiting
[00:08:41] for reactions. The absence of a cost,
[00:08:44] a military cost, and also
[00:08:47] subjected to tangible political pressures, especially from the United States,
[00:08:51] the international community, and also the absence of economic
[00:08:55] and military sanctions against it. So it is imposing
[00:09:00] controlling the territories it occupies. We are not talking about
[00:09:03] the idea of a temporary occupation. It claims that this is a temporary
[00:09:07] occupation for security reasons, but it is moving
[00:09:10] completely when it imposes rules on the movement of residents
[00:09:13] and their travel. It is moving completely away from the issue that
[00:09:17] these lands are a security issue or a border
[00:09:20] issue. It is going beyond that, and there is also
[00:09:23] a danger that it will displace the residents. And
[00:09:26] this, on what basis? I mean, when does
[00:09:30] occupation or temporary military presence turn into
[00:09:33] occupation in the legal sense? Based on what?
[00:09:36] The duration? Control? What are the criteria?
[00:09:40] The criteria are that it imposes...
[00:09:47] changing the reality essentially by placing
[00:09:51] military checkpoints, by placing military
[00:09:55] controlling. It
[00:09:59] yes, it is effective control on the ground.
[00:10:02] the population. It is not just a temporary military
[00:10:05] occupation where there are military
[00:10:09] bases and the population is left alone. It is now controlling
[00:10:13] the movement of the population, and this is an indication
[00:10:16] that it does not want to leave. It is sending messages
[00:10:20] that it wants to remain as a permanent occupation that controls
[00:10:23] the movement of the population and changes the
[00:10:27] rules. It wants to be the primary
[00:10:30] reference in imposing rules for the movement
[00:10:33] of the population in daily life, and also
[00:10:36] it has the final say in what happens
[00:10:39] in the territories it militarily controls. This is the danger,
[00:10:43] the greater danger, especially with the religious narrative. It justifies all
[00:10:47] of that to the Zionist public by saying
[00:10:50] that it is fulfilling a divine will, that these lands are
[00:10:53] lands. absolute for the Jewish people. This
[00:10:57] narrative we observed in the issue of
[00:11:01] the erosion of Palestinian lands in the West Bank and also in
[00:11:04] the fueling of settlers. I mean, in
[00:11:08] the issue, I mean, the issue of the occupation of Syria, we noticed all
[00:11:12] the statements of political
[00:11:14] opposition or in this extremist government,
[00:11:18] that there are no intentions
[00:11:20] to withdraw from the areas that Israel
[00:11:24] occupied after the fall
[00:11:26] of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Here lies the danger,
[00:11:30] the danger is that if there is no
[00:11:32] political price and no military
[00:11:35] price, I believe Israel is repeating the same
[00:11:38] ball, and also perhaps it will start
[00:11:42] imposing very difficult
[00:11:45] the West Bank, leading over time to silent
[00:11:49] emigration. I would like to address this issue of Syria
[00:11:53] in more detail. Okay.
[00:11:55] Okay, let me go to my guest, Mr. Abdul Mawla Al-Hariri. Welcome
[00:11:59] again. Regarding these signs that were raised and the Israeli
[00:12:03] occupation threatened to approach these signs, despite
[00:12:06] these warnings and threats from the Israeli occupation, we see that
[00:12:09] the residents tore down these signs today. How do we interpret
[00:12:13] this step in light of the reality
[00:12:16] that Israel is trying to impose in southern
[00:12:18] Syria?
[00:12:22] Uh, good evening to you, Ms. Dima, and to the esteemed
[00:12:25] viewers, and to the dear guests. Nothing
[00:12:29] new regarding Zionist
[00:12:33] policy. Zionist policy
[00:12:35] has been based, since
[00:12:38] a colonial
[00:12:43] an expansionist mentality. And
[00:12:46] this is what is known to all
[00:12:50] the people of the region and the world since, I mean, since
[00:12:53] the arrival of the Zionists to the land of occupied
[00:12:57] Palestine. Today,
[00:12:59] uh,
[00:13:01] I mean, nothing new. They are penetrating more than
[00:13:04] 327
[00:13:07] violations today. They have started a new phase,
[00:13:11] which is,
[00:13:14] I mean, preventing the passage of convoys. They consider a convoy to be
[00:13:17] more than three vehicles
[00:13:21] on Syrian lands in Rasam
[00:13:24] Al-euh Shawali, in Rasam
[00:13:28] Al-Rawadi, Rasam Al-Shawali and Rasam Al-Rawadi, and the entrance
[00:13:32] to Al-Samadaniya Al-Gharbiya, and the destroyed Quneitra,
[00:13:35] the destroyed city of Quneitra.
[00:13:37] And
[00:13:39] uh, the residents tore down some of these signs
[00:13:43] that they were able to reach. This indicates
[00:13:46] clearly that the people of
[00:13:48] the region will not remain silent. And
[00:13:51] I would like to point out that in the past two
[00:13:55] days, in the countryside of Daraa and Quneitra,
[00:13:58] five workers from
[00:14:02] those, or landowners who were harvesting
[00:14:05] olives, were arrested. One of them was returned,
[00:14:08] and now four are still held by
[00:14:12] the occupation. There is a tightening
[00:14:15] on uh, harvesting
[00:14:18] crops. There is a
[00:14:21] movement between villages and between houses.
[00:14:25] And this, I mean, this is
[00:14:27] their policy. This is how they think.
[00:14:31] They expand. They think that all this land
[00:14:35] belongs to them. Not just this land, they
[00:14:39] the Euphrates to the Nile. But, I mean, never,
[00:14:43] never. Uh, their
[00:14:47] time has passed. I see, and God knows best,
[00:14:50] that this time, or this mentality,
[00:14:54] which
[00:14:58] no longer succeeds. The mentality of the people of the region
[00:15:01] has changed.
[00:15:04] There is no longer any room to accept any
[00:15:09] the region.
[00:15:12] the accumulated internal crises
[00:15:15] within the Zionist entity
[00:15:18] to transfer them to the Arab world and for a new
[00:15:22] occupation and for a new colonial space.
[00:15:26] This will not happen, and I see that,
[00:15:29] I mean, the coming days are pregnant
[00:15:32] with good news and, God willing,
[00:15:35] with the collapse of this entity, God willing. Okay, what are the steps that
[00:15:39] the Syrian state possesses today, and you in the People's Assembly,
[00:15:42] to pressure, perhaps, or to change these
[00:15:46] violations
[00:15:50] southern Syria through, perhaps,
[00:15:54] stopping these violations through the meetings you have held, and you also had
[00:15:57] a meeting in the Security Defense
[00:16:00] Committee. What are the measures you have started?
[00:16:03] Uh,
[00:16:09] measures. First,
[00:16:12] the measures, I mean,
[00:16:15] the field and deterrent measures. This requires a political
[00:16:19] decision and requires full agreement,
[00:16:22] I mean,
[00:16:26] decision are very big, and, I mean,
[00:16:29] it will be taken by the political leadership in Syria and in
[00:16:33] the region at the appropriate time, God willing.
[00:16:36] As for the issue of
[00:16:39] these steps, there is
[00:16:45] international community is I mean, it
[00:16:48] is complicit since
[00:16:51] the establishment of this entity
[00:16:54] the Zionists, but it must, but
[00:16:58] there are some human rights organizations, there are some
[00:17:05] European countries, we notice that there is
[00:17:07] a very significant decrease in
[00:17:10] the level of sympathy with the Zionist entity.
[00:17:14] Uh,
[00:17:16] we explain, we clarify. There are
[00:17:20] uh, I mean, periodic
[00:17:24] ambassadors, with organizations
[00:17:27] and entities that represent the United Nations, and informing
[00:17:31] them of these attacks and publicizing
[00:17:34] that and also sister
[00:17:38] Arab countries that, I mean, we hope will be with us
[00:17:41] in rejecting this these attacks
[00:17:45] and I mean, popular
[00:17:49] many villages in Daraa and Quneitra, children
[00:17:53] and women and elders and men put
[00:17:57] stones on the roads preventing occupation patrols from
[00:18:01] passing. Uh, there is complete popular
[00:18:04] rejection. And these are their steps. We must
[00:18:08] support them. We must support them. And
[00:18:12] support along the entire border strip. We discuss these steps
[00:18:16] you have taken. Let me go to my guest, Mr. Abdul Qader. In front
[00:18:19] of this toll of violations and arrests
[00:18:23] and also the escalation that we are witnessing in the
[00:18:27] areas. Mr. Ibrahim Al-Thalji, from
[00:18:30] the escalation of the Israeli occupation in the areas of southern Syria, in front
[00:18:33] of these numbers and this toll, what does it reveal about the nature of the
[00:18:37] Israeli movements in this particular
[00:18:40] stage? Good evening, Professor Dima. My greetings
[00:18:43] to you and your esteemed guests and to the followers of Syria
[00:18:46] TV. You asked Mr. Abdul Mawla
[00:18:49] a question, uh-huh, and I actually have three points I want to
[00:18:53] make to him, given that Mr. Abdul Mawla, with all due respect, is a member of the People's
[00:18:57] Assembly. The answer was unconvincing. Members of the People's
[00:19:00] Assembly today are members who represent the Syrian people. There should be
[00:19:04] a committee, a committee of members of the People's Assembly who will form. This
[00:19:08] committee, a legal committee, will submit
[00:19:11] the entire file, the file of Israeli violations in southern Syria, since December
[00:19:15] 8th, a thousand violations. Unfortunately,
[00:19:18] they are thanked. A few days ago,
[00:19:21] 40 members of the People's Assembly went to the city of Quneitra, but
[00:19:25] where is the danger? The danger is in
[00:19:28] a triangle where the occupation is drawing the Rawabi, drawing the Rawadi,
[00:19:32] and Eastern Samadaniya and the destroyed Quneitra. It is
[00:19:35] emptying the demography in the region.
[00:19:38] The tightening on the residents is to empty it, and it is
[00:19:44] Syrians that many Syrians in
[00:19:47] the border region have moved to areas
[00:19:50] inside Damascus and its countryside. This is due to the tightening, due to the lack
[00:19:53] of even in the agricultural sector, in the irrigation sector, we did not find any
[00:19:57] support from the Syrian government. There should be a committee formed from members of the People's Assembly
[00:20:01] to support the steadfastness of the people in the border region. The demographic
[00:20:04] emptying will not benefit the international community, nor law, nor
[00:20:08] anything. Demographic reinforcement should be done, and we have
[00:20:11] mentioned this many times. Demographic reinforcement in the border
[00:20:15] areas, in the area of the destroyed city of Quneitra.
[00:20:18] Why has it not been
[00:20:21] rebuilt yet?
[00:20:25] I mean, with national buildings. People do not need state
[00:20:29] support. We know that the state is weak now,
[00:20:31] economically and militarily.
[00:20:35] But this issue is very
[00:20:38] triangle, means 53,
[00:20:41] meaning the application of Road 53. Road 53
[00:20:45] is a security zone.
[00:20:48] want, uh, it wants no disengagement
[00:20:52] agreement of 1974. Mr.
[00:20:55] Abdul Mawla, member of the People's Assembly, committees should be formed from
[00:20:58] the People's Assembly to go to these areas, to the border villages, to Rasam, to
[00:21:02] Eastern Samadaniya, Western Samadaniya, Rawadi. Support
[00:21:06] the steadfastness of the people in the region. Support the steadfastness of the people in the region is the solution. This is one
[00:21:11] occupation continues its incursions and the Syrian
[00:21:14] government remains silent, um, now we are not betting on the international
[00:21:18] community. America does not want to stop. Let's summarize. The occupation, the occupation
[00:21:21] killed a person with special needs from our people in
[00:21:25] Daraa a while ago. We did not see any legal
[00:21:28] file. This, I mean, this is a crime. Do you see any movement?
[00:21:31] Okay, since you mentioned Damascus's handling of these violations
[00:21:37] southern Syria, do you think this movement, if there is any
[00:21:41] political or even diplomatic movement, is it really commensurate
[00:21:44] with the scale of the escalation in southern Syria?
[00:21:48] No, not at all. The Syrian government is negligent,
[00:21:52] very negligent. And now the People's Assembly, we haven't seen any
[00:21:55] effectiveness yet. But now, members of the People's Assembly from Daraa
[00:21:59] and Quneitra must know that this is demographic
[00:22:03] emptying, meaning that this area will not
[00:22:06] essentially
[00:22:11] on the new, and the new is a demilitarized zone in southern Syria,
[00:22:14] completely. Even the Syrian sky, it wants it to be a stage
[00:22:17] for its planes to go to Iran, to Iraq. In short,
[00:22:21] there will be no sovereignty for the Syrian state,
[00:22:24] and I am well aware that the Syrian
[00:22:27] government exercises self-control, but self-control,
[00:22:29] I mean, the people of the border areas need support from the Syrian
[00:22:33] government now. We appeal to the members of the People's Assembly
[00:22:36] to form a committee, an economic committee, even if it is from the support of
[00:22:39] the people who lost their sheep, the support of the people who
[00:22:43] lost their crops, encouraging agriculture, encouraging grazing, supporting people in
[00:22:47] their steadfastness, strengthening demography. Now, the people of the border areas are moving
[00:22:51] to the gatherings in Dhiabieh, Sayyida Zeinab, Hajar Al-Aswad, new Artouz,
[00:22:54] Artouz. The violation is tightening on them in
[00:22:58] the simplest necessities of life, and therefore, these
[00:23:00] violations, if we cannot respond to them militarily,
[00:23:04] because people will reach a stage of popular resistance,
[00:23:08] and this is very dangerous. A warning bell for the Syrian state.
[00:23:11] There will be popular resistance, and this popular resistance may rebel
[00:23:15] into having a mini-state within a state. Yes. Okay, before
[00:23:19] I turn to you, Mr. Khalid, let me hear your comment,
[00:23:23] Mr. Abdul Mawla, regarding the role you are playing in
[00:23:27] the People's Assembly. My guest just mentioned that yes,
[00:23:29] we are witnessing movements from the people and also regional
[00:23:33] movement and international movements, but at the level of the People's Assembly,
[00:23:37] what role is it playing? And my guest said that so far,
[00:23:40] according to your answer, it is unconvincing. What
[00:23:43] are you doing in terms of actual movements on the
[00:23:46] ground? How do you respond to that?
[00:23:51] Perhaps the dear
[00:23:54] guest does not follow everything that
[00:23:57] members of the People's Assembly do. Members of the People's Assembly
[00:24:00] visited Quneitra and went
[00:24:05] the borders despite the security warnings. The Deputy
[00:24:09] Speaker of the Council and the Secretary of the Council
[00:24:12] yes, that's right. 40 members of the People's
[00:24:15] Assembly. I, I, I, Mr. Abdul
[00:24:19] Mawla, you are from Daraa, Mr. Abdul Mawla, you are from
[00:24:22] Daraa, you are from Daraa and you are asking you are from Daraa, but listen to me, I didn't
[00:24:26] interrupt you, my dear brother, I did not interrupt you. I will not listen. I
[00:24:30] did not interrupt you. Please. I will not interrupt. I will not allow
[00:24:33] interruption. May God honor you. Uh, because I did not
[00:24:36] interrupt you, not even with a word, despite the fact that the conversation was directed
[00:24:39] at me. We visited more than
[00:24:43] 40 deputies in parliament despite the security threat. We visited
[00:24:47] the destroyed areas, Al-Quneitra.
[00:24:50] The other
[00:24:54] the next day, some residents complained to us about the issue of
[00:24:57] electricity. We directly communicated through
[00:25:00] the energy committee in the People's Assembly with the Ministry
[00:25:03] of Electricity, with the Ministry of Energy,
[00:25:06] and
[00:25:08] the hours of
[00:25:10] electricity were doubled for the entire
[00:25:13] border strip in order to stabilize the residents.
[00:25:17] The speech that I delivered from within
[00:25:20] the Syrian parliament, and the escalation in it, was not witnessed,
[00:25:23] I mean, the legislative authority has not witnessed
[00:25:27] such an escalation before, addressing Netanyahu from
[00:25:31] under the dome of parliament. It was a strong speech,
[00:25:34] and
[00:25:38] it establishes a new phase for the role
[00:25:41] of the People's Assembly in dealing with these issues. Today, in
[00:25:45] the People's Assembly, our mission is legislative
[00:25:48] and oversight, and despite
[00:25:53] with us day and night, and we strive through
[00:25:57] organizations, through bodies, through the Red
[00:26:00] Crescent, we always
[00:26:05] this border strip. The water
[00:26:07] crisis on the border strip must end.
[00:26:10] I, I mean, and all the deputies of Daraa
[00:26:14] and Quneitra, we worked as one team to
[00:26:18] remind the executive authority to
[00:26:21] take care of the border villages and ensure
[00:26:24] no demographic change and
[00:26:28] to support the people. I agree with you on
[00:26:32] this. That this is a duty of the state, a duty of the executive
[00:26:37] the legislative authority to remind and support,
[00:26:40] and a duty of the people, and a duty of businessmen,
[00:26:43] and a duty of all the Syrian people to
[00:26:47] support the border strip to prevent demographic
[00:26:51] change and to
[00:26:53] stand against the Zionist plan. Okay, in light
[00:26:57] of this operation, as my guest mentioned earlier,
[00:27:00] Mr. Khalid, there is an attempt by the Israeli occupation,
[00:27:04] perhaps, to with these tightening operations that are taking place,
[00:27:08] for demographic emptying and perhaps the region. Is
[00:27:12] the Israeli occupation trying, is there, according to these measures taken by
[00:27:15] the Israeli occupation, a tendency to impose perhaps new realities
[00:27:19] in this region through these operations and this escalation we are witnessing, which is to empty
[00:27:23] the region?
[00:27:27] What the Israeli occupation is doing is a described crime of aggression through abusing
[00:27:31] people, cutting off cities and fighting them in
[00:27:37] matter is described in the Rome Statute and international
[00:27:40] humanitarian law, but let me affirm that
[00:27:44] the biggest strategic threat facing new Syria is Israeli
[00:27:48] aggressions, and they impose realities
[00:27:51] and occupation practices similar to what they do
[00:27:55] in the West Bank by encouraging settlers and by pushing
[00:27:57] people to displacement. But
[00:28:01] despite all that, I do not believe that the Israeli
[00:28:04] occupation wants to remain or establish a permanent occupation
[00:28:08] of Syrian territories. Israel's practices, in fact,
[00:28:12] are part of the policy of the Israeli
[00:28:15] the entire region, especially after October
[00:28:17] 7th and the fundamental change that occurred in the security
[00:28:21] doctrine by establishing safe zones. Today,
[00:28:24] after Israel lost controlled engagement rules and a state
[00:28:28] of calm, Syria was called, under the Assad regime, the quietest
[00:28:31] front. To the extent that reports spoke of it being a border
[00:28:35] policeman. But Israel was surprised by a changing
[00:28:38] regional reality. First, I mean, and the matter is also
[00:28:42] linked to two conditions: first, the Israeli domestic condition.
[00:28:45] Israel has been living in a state of instability for years. There is
[00:28:48] a sharp structural division between left and right, and that was reflected
[00:28:52] in the last elections, in addition to a changing
[00:28:55] regional scene. Israel faced, Israel
[00:28:59] itself facing new data. Therefore, since the
[00:29:02] 7th of October, it has been building its strategies based on security
[00:29:06] concerns. Israel is now in an existential battle
[00:29:09] and not a battle of expansion. Even these ideological
[00:29:13] summons, and religious clerical speeches, this
[00:29:16] is a characteristic of official Israeli discourse.
[00:29:20] Benjamin Netanyahu's policy does not enjoy consensus within Israel, and
[00:29:23] those who monitored the electoral agenda of the competitors, they
[00:29:27] did not offer a promise of immediate withdrawal, but rather affirmed
[00:29:31] the path of negotiations and gradual withdrawal and achieving
[00:29:34] Israel's security interests and not
[00:29:37] the desire of Israel to annex more land. This is a policy
[00:29:41] that Tel Aviv has been following since the establishment of this entity: annexing
[00:29:44] land and negotiating over it.
[00:29:48] Yes, defining the danger. Indeed, there is a great
[00:29:51] challenge that Damascus faces and which the Foreign
[00:29:54] Minister revealed today when he said yesterday when he said that we have been subjected
[00:29:58] to more than a thousand attacks, and this undermines Syrian sovereignty and undermines
[00:30:03] building. Today, also, in Damascus's
[00:30:08] the strategic level, it is necessary to adhere to
[00:30:11] two points or one specific point, which is adherence to national
[00:30:14] options through diplomatic approaches and activating diplomatic
[00:30:18] pressure tools. But this is also not enough. It is necessary to go to a wide
[00:30:22] range of fortifying the internal front, especially the people
[00:30:25] of the southern region, because today the south is considered the gateway to Syrian
[00:30:28] national security. It is necessary to fortify the population
[00:30:32] materially and morally to the extent that it is not possible
[00:30:35] to cancel the idea of any military action from the Syrian lexicon, even
[00:30:39] if the balance of power is not in Syria's favor. And Syria
[00:30:42] today wants to, I mean, move towards zeroing problems
[00:30:46] and does not want to be a source of concern. But if we look at
[00:30:50] Israel's behavior, Israel adopts what is called the strategy of fluctuating
[00:30:53] ceilings. It escalates according to the reaction
[00:30:56] of the other party, and there were also reactions from
