Is HTS chief Sharaa going soft on Israel despite Golan incursions?
FirstpostThe Golan Heights ceasefire breach by Israel seems to have no impact on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s chief Ahmad al-Sharaa who has said that the “general exhaustion” in Syria does not “allow” it to enter into new conflicts with Israel Israel has been Syria’s archnemesis since history can remember. Israel breaches Golan Heights ceasefire Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that its military has temporarily taken control of the demilitarised buffer zone in the Golan Heights, stating that the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria has “collapsed” following the rebel takeover of the country. “The Israelis have clearly crossed the disengagement line in Syria, which threatens a new unjustified escalation in the region," he said, adding, “The general exhaustion in Syria after years of war and conflict does not allow us to enter new conflicts.” Nevertheless, Israel has continued its attack against Syria by launching dozens of overnight strikes even after the HTS chief said it does not want to fight. All the different communities in Syria could not live together in one national state.” “The best option is for Syria to follow the model of the Kurdistan region in Iraq,” he said as he envisioned Syria’s future which must uphold a balance that respects the country’s ethnic and religious diversity, encompassing Sunni and Shiite Arabs, Kurds, Christians, Druze, and Alawites, the religious minority to which Assad belongs.
