Netanyahu Ends Syria Border Agreement, Israel Seizes Golan Heights Territory
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the 1974 border agreement with Syria null and void, citing Syrian military withdrawal from the Golan Heights buffer zone. He ordered the Israeli army to seize this area, claiming it necessary to protect Israel’s border. Netanyahu also asserted that Israel’s actions contributed to the weakening of the Assad regime in Syria, creating new opportunities for the region. Despite this, he stated that Israel will pursue a policy of humanitarian aid to Syrian civilians while remaining uninvolved in Syria’s internal affairs.
