Israel Warns Syria Against Jihadist Presence Near Border
Israel’s continued control of the Syrian buffer zone is contingent upon the establishment of a responsible Syrian government. Transfer of control is a possibility following the formation of such a government. Until that occurs, Israel maintains responsibility for securing its border. This approach prioritizes Israeli security while leaving open the possibility of future Syrian governance of the area. The message underscores Israel’s commitment to its security interests while acknowledging potential future changes.
