The Israeli government has issued strong statements regarding the situation in Syria. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel demands the full withdrawal of the new Syrian regime's forces from southern Syria. He stressed that Israel will not allow armed groups, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or the Syrian regime’s army, to take control of areas south of Damascus.

Netanyahu also emphasized that Israel has an obligation to protect the Druze population in the region and will not tolerate threats against them. In recent months, the situation in southern Syria has remained tense, with the presence of armed groups raising concerns among Israeli authorities.

Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed Netanyahu’s position, stating that Israel will not allow any military presence in the buffer zone within Syria. He asserted that the Israeli military is prepared to act against any threats emanating from this region.

Katz further emphasized that Israel’s actions are not an act of occupation but a form of self-defense and protection of the Druze communities living in southern Syria.

These statements reflect Israel’s firm stance on regional security and may indicate a potential increase in Israeli military presence near the Syrian border. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as further escalation could lead to new clashes.
