00:02:27their aggressions on Syrian territories. Syria TV

00:02:37past.
00:02:41In a new step imposed by Israeli occupation forces in southern
00:02:45Syria, they are moving from incursions, violations, and indiscriminate
00:02:49shelling to imposing restrictions on movement and travel, amidst
00:02:53threats to target any convoy that includes more than
00:02:56three vehicles. On the outskirts of the villages of
00:03:00Al-Samadaniya Al-Gharbiya, Rasam Al-Rawadi, and the destroyed Quneitra in the central countryside
00:03:04of the governorate, occupation forces posted road
00:03:07signs warning civilians against moving
00:03:10in convoys of more than three vehicles, threatening to target them
00:03:15to an area close to and endanger their lives.
00:03:18Israel, in its incursions and also in The placement of warning signs coincided with
00:03:21excavation and bulldozing operations carried out by occupation forces in the Al-Ma'kar
00:03:24area near the gate of Tal Abu Al-Ghithar in the southern
00:03:27Quneitra countryside.
00:03:30These steps come at a time when Israeli occupation forces
00:03:35a political cost, it is not continue their attacks on Syrian territories, with
00:03:37incursions, indiscriminate shelling, and killing of civilians. Syria
00:03:41TV correspondent documented
00:03:43327
00:03:47new rules in violations by Israeli occupation forces last October
00:03:50in the countryside of Quneitra, Daraa, and Damascus, where he pointed
00:03:54to the variety of violations, including
00:03:56tightening on incursions, detention of Syrian citizens, shelling,
00:03:59and killing. The Israeli air force flying in
00:04:02Syrian airspace and the
00:04:06known to many occupation's persistence in its escalatory matter, on steps in southern Syria and the options for confrontation, in fact, on
00:04:09continuous tightening of restrictions on the movement of Syrian civilians raise
00:04:12questions about the essence of what it seeks
00:04:14look at the region from and about the steps it wants to achieve
00:04:18in the coming
00:04:19days.
00:04:23On this topic, I welcome Khalid Khalil, a journalist
00:04:26specializing in Israeli affairs, live with us from Damascus, and Abdel
00:04:30Mawla Al-Hariri, a member of the People's Assembly, from Damascus, and Dr.
00:04:34Amjad Shihab El-Din, Professor of Law and International
00:04:37Relations, from occupied Jerusalem, and Ibrahim Al-Thalji, a member of the Political
00:04:41Committee of the Golan Heights Residents'
00:04:44new occupation in installations, and also by Gathering, live with us from Bremen. Welcome,
00:04:47No escape from my dear guests. I will start with you, Mr. Khalid Khalil.
00:04:50It is controlling Let's analyze these Israeli movements. In what
00:04:53context do they fall? And with the escalating pace of Israeli movements in southern
00:04:56Syria, what do the Israeli occupation forces want
00:05:00in this
00:05:01serious. Emptying the region, emptying this particular region?
00:05:03this, this issue lives Greetings, Sudeima, to you and to the esteemed
00:05:06viewers. Regarding the warning signs that the Israeli occupation
00:05:11The occupation does not army published, I believe they are an evasive attempt by
00:05:14Tel Aviv to circumvent the legal repercussions that
00:05:17demand Israel to
00:05:20take precautionary measures to prevent crimes
00:05:24of murder and war crimes, especially those it commits in Syria. This matter
00:05:27comes after the martyrdom of the Syrian citizen
00:05:30Moaz Salameh last week, when the Israeli occupation
00:05:34army issued an official statement and
00:05:37said that it had detected a threat and
00:05:40that it was investigating
00:05:44circumvention because there are
00:05:47uh-huh Yes.
00:05:50its occupation measures, as well as human rights
00:05:54and legal organizations accusing Israel of committing
00:05:57war crimes and abusing people. In fact, what
00:06:01Tel Aviv is doing in Syria is considered a described crime of aggression
00:06:04under international humanitarian law
00:06:07and under the Rome Statute, in addition to
00:06:11being a clear and blatant violation of the United
00:06:15Syrian territories. Um,
00:06:18as for the continuation of these attacks amid
00:06:20the Israeli elections and the inability
00:06:24of Israeli competitors to achieve the decisive percentage, it is
00:06:28a kind of conflict management that Tel
00:06:31Aviv is conducting
00:06:34in the southern Syrian region. This matter relates to the security
00:06:37dimension that dominates the elections, especially after October
00:06:417th. Israel has resorted to what it calls preemptive
00:06:45measures, i.e., establishing safe zones
00:06:48and transferring the battle to enemy territory. I believe that
00:06:52Israel wants to establish a fait accompli on the ground,
00:06:55exploiting the Syrian timing
00:06:58to pressure Damascus to obtain negotiating gains, in addition
00:07:02to anticipating any future regional settlement. Dr.
00:07:06Amjad, I would like to address with you the legal
00:07:09aspect, and since you are a professor of international law.
00:07:12My guest just mentioned that it is an attempt
00:07:15to circumvent what is happening by the Israeli
00:07:18occupation, and these attempts occurred after
00:07:22the martyrdom of the Syrian citizen Moaz Salameh.
00:07:25The legal description of these
00:07:27violations and this escalation by the Israeli occupation in southern
00:07:31Syria, how can it be interpreted? And are we really facing a permanent
00:07:34occupation or a temporary occupation under a security
00:07:38pretext, as the Israeli
00:07:39occupation claims?
00:07:42Yes, my greetings to you, Professor Dima, and to your esteemed guests,
00:07:46and to all the viewers on Syria channel. The position of international
00:07:49law, politically and legally, is very
00:07:51clear. Even in the UN
00:07:55committee's investigation in October
00:07:582026, it was clear that the detention
00:08:02of Syrian citizens and also the violation of Syrian
00:08:06sovereignty and the occupation of territories are considered
00:08:09war crimes. But the main problem is the absence. political
00:08:12will in the international community and also the absence of a decision.
00:08:16Even in the Security Council, the Security
00:08:19Council's position was very clear in 2026 that
00:08:23Israel must abide by the disengagement
00:08:26agreement of 1974. But
00:08:31doing so, is repeating
00:08:34the same experience it had with the Palestinian
00:08:37territories. It is testing the waters and waiting
00:08:41for reactions. The absence of a cost,
00:08:44a military cost, and also
00:08:47subjected to tangible political pressures, especially from the United States,
00:08:51the international community, and also the absence of economic
00:08:55and military sanctions against it. So it is imposing
00:09:00controlling the territories it occupies. We are not talking about
00:09:03the idea of a temporary occupation. It claims that this is a temporary
00:09:07occupation for security reasons, but it is moving
00:09:10completely when it imposes rules on the movement of residents
00:09:13and their travel. It is moving completely away from the issue that
00:09:17these lands are a security issue or a border
00:09:20issue. It is going beyond that, and there is also
00:09:23a danger that it will displace the residents. And
00:09:26this, on what basis? I mean, when does
00:09:30occupation or temporary military presence turn into
00:09:33occupation in the legal sense? Based on what?
00:09:36The duration? Control? What are the criteria?
00:09:40The criteria are that it imposes...
00:09:47changing the reality essentially by placing
00:09:51military checkpoints, by placing military
00:09:55controlling. It
00:09:59yes, it is effective control on the ground.
00:10:02the population. It is not just a temporary military
00:10:05occupation where there are military
00:10:09bases and the population is left alone. It is now controlling
00:10:13the movement of the population, and this is an indication
00:10:16that it does not want to leave. It is sending messages
00:10:20that it wants to remain as a permanent occupation that controls
00:10:23the movement of the population and changes the
00:10:27rules. It wants to be the primary
00:10:30reference in imposing rules for the movement
00:10:33of the population in daily life, and also
00:10:36it has the final say in what happens
00:10:39in the territories it militarily controls. This is the danger,
00:10:43the greater danger, especially with the religious narrative. It justifies all
00:10:47of that to the Zionist public by saying
00:10:50that it is fulfilling a divine will, that these lands are
00:10:53lands. absolute for the Jewish people. This
00:10:57narrative we observed in the issue of
00:11:01the erosion of Palestinian lands in the West Bank and also in
00:11:04the fueling of settlers. I mean, in
00:11:08the issue, I mean, the issue of the occupation of Syria, we noticed all
00:11:12the statements of political
00:11:14opposition or in this extremist government,
00:11:18that there are no intentions
00:11:20to withdraw from the areas that Israel
00:11:24occupied after the fall
00:11:26of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Here lies the danger,
00:11:30the danger is that if there is no
00:11:32political price and no military
00:11:35price, I believe Israel is repeating the same
00:11:38ball, and also perhaps it will start
00:11:42imposing very difficult
00:11:45the West Bank, leading over time to silent
00:11:49emigration. I would like to address this issue of Syria
00:11:53in more detail. Okay.
00:11:55Okay, let me go to my guest, Mr. Abdul Mawla Al-Hariri. Welcome
00:11:59again. Regarding these signs that were raised and the Israeli
00:12:03occupation threatened to approach these signs, despite
00:12:06these warnings and threats from the Israeli occupation, we see that
00:12:09the residents tore down these signs today. How do we interpret
00:12:13this step in light of the reality
00:12:16that Israel is trying to impose in southern
00:12:18Syria?
00:12:22Uh, good evening to you, Ms. Dima, and to the esteemed
00:12:25viewers, and to the dear guests. Nothing
00:12:29new regarding Zionist
00:12:33policy. Zionist policy
00:12:35has been based, since
00:12:38a colonial
00:12:43an expansionist mentality. And
00:12:46this is what is known to all
00:12:50the people of the region and the world since, I mean, since
00:12:53the arrival of the Zionists to the land of occupied
00:12:57Palestine. Today,
00:12:59uh,
00:13:01I mean, nothing new. They are penetrating more than
00:13:04327
00:13:07violations today. They have started a new phase,
00:13:11which is,
00:13:14I mean, preventing the passage of convoys. They consider a convoy to be
00:13:17more than three vehicles
00:13:21on Syrian lands in Rasam
00:13:24Al-euh Shawali, in Rasam
00:13:28Al-Rawadi, Rasam Al-Shawali and Rasam Al-Rawadi, and the entrance
00:13:32to Al-Samadaniya Al-Gharbiya, and the destroyed Quneitra,
00:13:35the destroyed city of Quneitra.
00:13:37And
00:13:39uh, the residents tore down some of these signs
00:13:43that they were able to reach. This indicates
00:13:46clearly that the people of
00:13:48the region will not remain silent. And
00:13:51I would like to point out that in the past two
00:13:55days, in the countryside of Daraa and Quneitra,
00:13:58five workers from
00:14:02those, or landowners who were harvesting
00:14:05olives, were arrested. One of them was returned,
00:14:08and now four are still held by
00:14:12the occupation. There is a tightening
00:14:15on uh, harvesting
00:14:18crops. There is a
00:14:21movement between villages and between houses.
00:14:25And this, I mean, this is
00:14:27their policy. This is how they think.
00:14:31They expand. They think that all this land
00:14:35belongs to them. Not just this land, they
00:14:39the Euphrates to the Nile. But, I mean, never,
00:14:43never. Uh, their
00:14:47time has passed. I see, and God knows best,
00:14:50that this time, or this mentality,
00:14:54which
00:14:58no longer succeeds. The mentality of the people of the region
00:15:01has changed.
00:15:04There is no longer any room to accept any
00:15:09the region.
00:15:12the accumulated internal crises
00:15:15within the Zionist entity
00:15:18to transfer them to the Arab world and for a new
00:15:22occupation and for a new colonial space.
00:15:26This will not happen, and I see that,
00:15:29I mean, the coming days are pregnant
00:15:32with good news and, God willing,
00:15:35with the collapse of this entity, God willing. Okay, what are the steps that
00:15:39the Syrian state possesses today, and you in the People's Assembly,
00:15:42to pressure, perhaps, or to change these
00:15:46violations
00:15:50southern Syria through, perhaps,
00:15:54stopping these violations through the meetings you have held, and you also had
00:15:57a meeting in the Security Defense
00:16:00Committee. What are the measures you have started?
00:16:03Uh,
00:16:09measures. First,
00:16:12the measures, I mean,
00:16:15the field and deterrent measures. This requires a political
00:16:19decision and requires full agreement,
00:16:22I mean,
00:16:26decision are very big, and, I mean,
00:16:29it will be taken by the political leadership in Syria and in
00:16:33the region at the appropriate time, God willing.
00:16:36As for the issue of
00:16:39these steps, there is
00:16:45international community is I mean, it
00:16:48is complicit since
00:16:51the establishment of this entity
00:16:54the Zionists, but it must, but
00:16:58there are some human rights organizations, there are some
00:17:05European countries, we notice that there is
00:17:07a very significant decrease in
00:17:10the level of sympathy with the Zionist entity.
00:17:14Uh,
00:17:16we explain, we clarify. There are
00:17:20uh, I mean, periodic
00:17:24ambassadors, with organizations
00:17:27and entities that represent the United Nations, and informing
00:17:31them of these attacks and publicizing
00:17:34that and also sister
00:17:38Arab countries that, I mean, we hope will be with us
00:17:41in rejecting this these attacks
00:17:45and I mean, popular
00:17:49many villages in Daraa and Quneitra, children
00:17:53and women and elders and men put
00:17:57stones on the roads preventing occupation patrols from
00:18:01passing. Uh, there is complete popular
00:18:04rejection. And these are their steps. We must
00:18:08support them. We must support them. And
00:18:12support along the entire border strip. We discuss these steps
00:18:16you have taken. Let me go to my guest, Mr. Abdul Qader. In front
00:18:19of this toll of violations and arrests
00:18:23and also the escalation that we are witnessing in the
00:18:27areas. Mr. Ibrahim Al-Thalji, from
00:18:30the escalation of the Israeli occupation in the areas of southern Syria, in front
00:18:33of these numbers and this toll, what does it reveal about the nature of the
00:18:37Israeli movements in this particular
00:18:40stage? Good evening, Professor Dima. My greetings
00:18:43to you and your esteemed guests and to the followers of Syria
00:18:46TV. You asked Mr. Abdul Mawla
00:18:49a question, uh-huh, and I actually have three points I want to
00:18:53make to him, given that Mr. Abdul Mawla, with all due respect, is a member of the People's
00:18:57Assembly. The answer was unconvincing. Members of the People's
00:19:00Assembly today are members who represent the Syrian people. There should be
00:19:04a committee, a committee of members of the People's Assembly who will form. This
00:19:08committee, a legal committee, will submit
00:19:11the entire file, the file of Israeli violations in southern Syria, since December
00:19:158th, a thousand violations. Unfortunately,
00:19:18they are thanked. A few days ago,
00:19:2140 members of the People's Assembly went to the city of Quneitra, but
00:19:25where is the danger? The danger is in
00:19:28a triangle where the occupation is drawing the Rawabi, drawing the Rawadi,
00:19:32and Eastern Samadaniya and the destroyed Quneitra. It is
00:19:35emptying the demography in the region.
00:19:38The tightening on the residents is to empty it, and it is
00:19:44Syrians that many Syrians in
00:19:47the border region have moved to areas
00:19:50inside Damascus and its countryside. This is due to the tightening, due to the lack
00:19:53of even in the agricultural sector, in the irrigation sector, we did not find any
00:19:57support from the Syrian government. There should be a committee formed from members of the People's Assembly
00:20:01to support the steadfastness of the people in the border region. The demographic
00:20:04emptying will not benefit the international community, nor law, nor
00:20:08anything. Demographic reinforcement should be done, and we have
00:20:11mentioned this many times. Demographic reinforcement in the border
00:20:15areas, in the area of the destroyed city of Quneitra.
00:20:18Why has it not been
00:20:21rebuilt yet?
00:20:25I mean, with national buildings. People do not need state
00:20:29support. We know that the state is weak now,
00:20:31economically and militarily.
00:20:35But this issue is very
00:20:38triangle, means 53,
00:20:41meaning the application of Road 53. Road 53
00:20:45is a security zone.
00:20:48want, uh, it wants no disengagement
00:20:52agreement of 1974. Mr.
00:20:55Abdul Mawla, member of the People's Assembly, committees should be formed from
00:20:58the People's Assembly to go to these areas, to the border villages, to Rasam, to
00:21:02Eastern Samadaniya, Western Samadaniya, Rawadi. Support
00:21:06the steadfastness of the people in the region. Support the steadfastness of the people in the region is the solution. This is one
00:21:11occupation continues its incursions and the Syrian
00:21:14government remains silent, um, now we are not betting on the international
00:21:18community. America does not want to stop. Let's summarize. The occupation, the occupation
00:21:21killed a person with special needs from our people in
00:21:25Daraa a while ago. We did not see any legal
00:21:28file. This, I mean, this is a crime. Do you see any movement?
00:21:31Okay, since you mentioned Damascus's handling of these violations
00:21:37southern Syria, do you think this movement, if there is any
00:21:41political or even diplomatic movement, is it really commensurate
00:21:44with the scale of the escalation in southern Syria?
00:21:48No, not at all. The Syrian government is negligent,
00:21:52very negligent. And now the People's Assembly, we haven't seen any
00:21:55effectiveness yet. But now, members of the People's Assembly from Daraa
00:21:59and Quneitra must know that this is demographic
00:22:03emptying, meaning that this area will not
00:22:06essentially
00:22:11on the new, and the new is a demilitarized zone in southern Syria,
00:22:14completely. Even the Syrian sky, it wants it to be a stage
00:22:17for its planes to go to Iran, to Iraq. In short,
00:22:21there will be no sovereignty for the Syrian state,
00:22:24and I am well aware that the Syrian
00:22:27government exercises self-control, but self-control,
00:22:29I mean, the people of the border areas need support from the Syrian
00:22:33government now. We appeal to the members of the People's Assembly
00:22:36to form a committee, an economic committee, even if it is from the support of
00:22:39the people who lost their sheep, the support of the people who
00:22:43lost their crops, encouraging agriculture, encouraging grazing, supporting people in
00:22:47their steadfastness, strengthening demography. Now, the people of the border areas are moving
00:22:51to the gatherings in Dhiabieh, Sayyida Zeinab, Hajar Al-Aswad, new Artouz,
00:22:54Artouz. The violation is tightening on them in
00:22:58the simplest necessities of life, and therefore, these
00:23:00violations, if we cannot respond to them militarily,
00:23:04because people will reach a stage of popular resistance,
00:23:08and this is very dangerous. A warning bell for the Syrian state.
00:23:11There will be popular resistance, and this popular resistance may rebel
00:23:15into having a mini-state within a state. Yes. Okay, before
00:23:19I turn to you, Mr. Khalid, let me hear your comment,
00:23:23Mr. Abdul Mawla, regarding the role you are playing in
00:23:27the People's Assembly. My guest just mentioned that yes,
00:23:29we are witnessing movements from the people and also regional
00:23:33movement and international movements, but at the level of the People's Assembly,
00:23:37what role is it playing? And my guest said that so far,
00:23:40according to your answer, it is unconvincing. What
00:23:43are you doing in terms of actual movements on the
00:23:46ground? How do you respond to that?
00:23:51Perhaps the dear
00:23:54guest does not follow everything that
00:23:57members of the People's Assembly do. Members of the People's Assembly
00:24:00visited Quneitra and went
00:24:05the borders despite the security warnings. The Deputy
00:24:09Speaker of the Council and the Secretary of the Council
00:24:12yes, that's right. 40 members of the People's
00:24:15Assembly. I, I, I, Mr. Abdul
00:24:19Mawla, you are from Daraa, Mr. Abdul Mawla, you are from
00:24:22Daraa, you are from Daraa and you are asking you are from Daraa, but listen to me, I didn't
00:24:26interrupt you, my dear brother, I did not interrupt you. I will not listen. I
00:24:30did not interrupt you. Please. I will not interrupt. I will not allow
00:24:33interruption. May God honor you. Uh, because I did not
00:24:36interrupt you, not even with a word, despite the fact that the conversation was directed
00:24:39at me. We visited more than
00:24:4340 deputies in parliament despite the security threat. We visited
00:24:47the destroyed areas, Al-Quneitra.
00:24:50The other
00:24:54the next day, some residents complained to us about the issue of
00:24:57electricity. We directly communicated through
00:25:00the energy committee in the People's Assembly with the Ministry
00:25:03of Electricity, with the Ministry of Energy,
00:25:06and
00:25:08the hours of
00:25:10electricity were doubled for the entire
00:25:13border strip in order to stabilize the residents.
00:25:17The speech that I delivered from within
00:25:20the Syrian parliament, and the escalation in it, was not witnessed,
00:25:23I mean, the legislative authority has not witnessed
00:25:27such an escalation before, addressing Netanyahu from
00:25:31under the dome of parliament. It was a strong speech,
00:25:34and
00:25:38it establishes a new phase for the role
00:25:41of the People's Assembly in dealing with these issues. Today, in
00:25:45the People's Assembly, our mission is legislative
00:25:48and oversight, and despite
00:25:53with us day and night, and we strive through
00:25:57organizations, through bodies, through the Red
00:26:00Crescent, we always
00:26:05this border strip. The water
00:26:07crisis on the border strip must end.
00:26:10I, I mean, and all the deputies of Daraa
00:26:14and Quneitra, we worked as one team to
00:26:18remind the executive authority to
00:26:21take care of the border villages and ensure
00:26:24no demographic change and
00:26:28to support the people. I agree with you on
00:26:32this. That this is a duty of the state, a duty of the executive
00:26:37the legislative authority to remind and support,
00:26:40and a duty of the people, and a duty of businessmen,
00:26:43and a duty of all the Syrian people to
00:26:47support the border strip to prevent demographic
00:26:51change and to
00:26:53stand against the Zionist plan. Okay, in light
00:26:57of this operation, as my guest mentioned earlier,
00:27:00Mr. Khalid, there is an attempt by the Israeli occupation,
00:27:04perhaps, to with these tightening operations that are taking place,
00:27:08for demographic emptying and perhaps the region. Is
00:27:12the Israeli occupation trying, is there, according to these measures taken by
00:27:15the Israeli occupation, a tendency to impose perhaps new realities
00:27:19in this region through these operations and this escalation we are witnessing, which is to empty
00:27:23the region?
00:27:27What the Israeli occupation is doing is a described crime of aggression through abusing
00:27:31people, cutting off cities and fighting them in
00:27:37matter is described in the Rome Statute and international
00:27:40humanitarian law, but let me affirm that
00:27:44the biggest strategic threat facing new Syria is Israeli
00:27:48aggressions, and they impose realities
00:27:51and occupation practices similar to what they do
00:27:55in the West Bank by encouraging settlers and by pushing
00:27:57people to displacement. But
00:28:01despite all that, I do not believe that the Israeli
00:28:04occupation wants to remain or establish a permanent occupation
00:28:08of Syrian territories. Israel's practices, in fact,
00:28:12are part of the policy of the Israeli
00:28:15the entire region, especially after October
00:28:177th and the fundamental change that occurred in the security
00:28:21doctrine by establishing safe zones. Today,
00:28:24after Israel lost controlled engagement rules and a state
00:28:28of calm, Syria was called, under the Assad regime, the quietest
00:28:31front. To the extent that reports spoke of it being a border
00:28:35policeman. But Israel was surprised by a changing
00:28:38regional reality. First, I mean, and the matter is also
00:28:42linked to two conditions: first, the Israeli domestic condition.
00:28:45Israel has been living in a state of instability for years. There is
00:28:48a sharp structural division between left and right, and that was reflected
00:28:52in the last elections, in addition to a changing
00:28:55regional scene. Israel faced, Israel
00:28:59itself facing new data. Therefore, since the
00:29:027th of October, it has been building its strategies based on security
00:29:06concerns. Israel is now in an existential battle
00:29:09and not a battle of expansion. Even these ideological
00:29:13summons, and religious clerical speeches, this
00:29:16is a characteristic of official Israeli discourse.
00:29:20Benjamin Netanyahu's policy does not enjoy consensus within Israel, and
00:29:23those who monitored the electoral agenda of the competitors, they
00:29:27did not offer a promise of immediate withdrawal, but rather affirmed
00:29:31the path of negotiations and gradual withdrawal and achieving
00:29:34Israel's security interests and not
00:29:37the desire of Israel to annex more land. This is a policy
00:29:41that Tel Aviv has been following since the establishment of this entity: annexing
00:29:44land and negotiating over it.
00:29:48Yes, defining the danger. Indeed, there is a great
00:29:51challenge that Damascus faces and which the Foreign
00:29:54Minister revealed today when he said yesterday when he said that we have been subjected
00:29:58to more than a thousand attacks, and this undermines Syrian sovereignty and undermines
00:30:03building. Today, also, in Damascus's
00:30:08the strategic level, it is necessary to adhere to
00:30:11two points or one specific point, which is adherence to national
00:30:14options through diplomatic approaches and activating diplomatic
00:30:18pressure tools. But this is also not enough. It is necessary to go to a wide
00:30:22range of fortifying the internal front, especially the people
00:30:25of the southern region, because today the south is considered the gateway to Syrian
00:30:28national security. It is necessary to fortify the population
00:30:32materially and morally to the extent that it is not possible
00:30:35to cancel the idea of any military action from the Syrian lexicon, even
00:30:39if the balance of power is not in Syria's favor. And Syria
00:30:42today wants to, I mean, move towards zeroing problems
00:30:46and does not want to be a source of concern. But if we look at
00:30:50Israel's behavior, Israel adopts what is called the strategy of fluctuating
00:30:53ceilings. It escalates according to the reaction
00:30:56of the other party, and there were also reactions from
