US said urging Israel to nurture ties with new Syrian leader; Israel listening but unconvinced
[IsraelTimes] Senior American officials have urged their Israeli counterparts to nurture ties with Syria’s new leader, Channel 12 reports.
Oy.
“Cooperation and communication channels of yours with al-Julani will bolster Israel’s influence in the entire area,” the report quotes US officials saying. “We are talking about a pragmatic leader who wants to develop strategic relations with the nations of the region.”

Israel is listening to what the Americans are saying, but also suspects that al-Julani is playing the US and international community, and trying to stabilize his control, but has not truly changed his spots.

The US, nonetheless, believes cooperation could help ensure that Iran does not return to Syria, the report says.
Playing one-dimensional chess.
