Syrian rebel leader: Israel has ‘no more excuses’ to strike, we don’t seek conflict
|
[IsraelTimes] In first comment on Jewish state since fall of Assad regime, Sharaa says Syria will seek stability after long civil war, hints at ‘diplomatic solutions’ to avert regional escalation
The leader of the Syrian Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) who spearheaded the overthrow of the Bashir al-Assad regime, spoke Saturday about Israel for the first time since taking over the country in an interview with the Syrian TV news channel.
Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is better known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Julani, said that Israel has "no more excuses" to carry out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s in Syria, and that recent IDF attacks on Syrian soil have crossed red lines and threaten an unjustified escalation in the region.
Earlier in the week, Israel launched a major operation to destroy the Syrian military’s strategic military capabilities, including chemical weapons

In a move that has drawn some international condemnation, Israel also entered a United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights just hours after the rebels, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, took Damascus. Israel has said it will not become involved in the conflict in Syria and that its seizure of the buffer zone established in 1974 was a defensive move and a temporary one until it can guarantee security along the frontier.
The rebel leader called on the international community to assume its responsibility to avoid an escalation and guarantee the respect of Syrian illusory sovereignty. Without directly mentioning Israel, he further spoke of "diplomatic solutions" as the only way to ensure security and stability and as a preferable option to "ill-considered military adventures."
In a video message to the new regime taking shape in Syria, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the IDF bombed military strategic capabilities left by the Syrian military of the ousted Assad regime "so that they won’t fall into the hands of the jihadists."
He added that Israel was ready to establish relations with the new rulers but won’t hesitate to attack if they threaten the Jewish state or allow Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

to reestablish itself in Syria.
The Assad regime was an ally of the Islamic Theocratic Republic , and a part of the latter’s so-called Axis of Resistance® against Israel.
"We have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Syria," the premier said, "but we certainly do intend to do what is necessary to ensure our security."
In his interview on Saturday, the new leader in Damascus appeared to indirectly respond to Israeli concerns and provide reassurance. Sharaa said that Syria is exhausted by years of civil war and that at this stage it will not be dragged into conflicts that may lead to further destruction, with reconstruction and stability the main priorities.
The rebel commander added that the Iranian entrenchment in Syria had posed a great danger to Syria itself, to neighboring countries and the Gulf, and said: "We were able to end the Iranian presence in Syria, but we are not enemies of the Iranian people."
Over the course of a wide-ranging interview, Sharaa mentioned some of the issues that his new government will soon need to address in managing post-war Syria. He stressed the importance of abandoning the "revolutionary mentality" that propelled the rebels, and the need to establish modern institutions, guarantee the rule of law and respect the rights of all Syrians.
Sharaa delivered a scathing critique of the corrupt Assad regime, saying that it managed Syria like a "farm," extracting and appropriating its resources to enrich itself. He added that in the upcoming period, documents will be published to prove the extent of the regime’s "enormous theft."
He highlighted that the lightning victory of the rebels over the regime, toppled in just 11 days, proved the effectiveness of their planning and training. The rebels "took control of large cities without anyone being displaced," he said. However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
he did not conceal the fact that relations between the various rebel groups have been marked by internal conflicts, factionalism and foreign meddling.
He also mentioned the limited Russian air campaign against the rebels in the days prior to Assad’s overthrow and said it raised fears of a repeat of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
scenario. With regard to future relations with Moscow, he said that the regime change offers an opportunity to re-evaluate ties in a way that serves common interests.
The previous regime came into power in 1970, when Bashar’s father Hafez al-Assad seized power in a bloodless coup. Bashir al-Assad had been president since his father’s death in 2000.
Israel and Syria do not have diplomatic relations and have formally been in a perpetual state of war since Israel declared independence in 1948.
Syria was one of a number of Arab countries that attacked the newly born Jewish state, and despite an armistice agreement signed in 1949 that demarcated a border between the two countries, Syria has never formally recognized Israel’s existence.
Syria also attacked during the 1967 Six Day War, before the IDF pounded Syrian forces and seized the Golan Heights, which Israel later annexed unilaterally. Syria attacked again in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War and was pushed back after a major advance into the Golan, after which the 1974 disengagement agreement was signed between the states, marking the demilitarized zones on the Israel-Syrian border.
