At an officers graduation ceremony yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu made a shocking declaration before the crowd.โHe outlined his plan for southern Syria where the IDF has partial control over the western regions, heavily populated by the Druze. He stated: โ๐๐ฏ ๐๐บ๐ณ๐ช๐ข, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ. ๐๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ง๐ง๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ญ ๐ง๐ถ๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ฆ. ๐๐ฐ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฆ๐ค๐ต ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ต ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต. ๐๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐, ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐๐บ๐ณ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ, ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ด๐ค๐ถ๐ด. ๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ด๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐บ๐ณ๐ช๐ข, ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ข๐ช๐ต๐ณ๐ข, ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ข ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ธ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข. ๐๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐บ๐ณ๐ช๐ข!โ
Those of us that have been following developments in southern Syria since Israel’s lightning fast takeover of the Hermon summit and the Druze communities in the Syrian Golan have known that Israel’s ultimate goal has been to set up an IDF protected Druze autonomous enclave in the As-Suwayda also known as Jabal Al-Druze where 300 thousand Druze live.
In parallel with Netanyahu’s statement yesterday about the Israeli demand to disarm southern Syria from the forces of the HTS regime in Damascus as well as the intention of Israel to not tolerate a threat to the Druze there, 3 videos of Druze military groups from various villages in the Suwayda district were published in the past 24 hours.โThese videos openly announce joining the “Suwayda Military Council” – a body that was established after the overthrow of the Assad regime and “refreshed” with a new logo (seen to the left) in the past 24 hours.
The basic outline of the council, headed by Tariq al-Shufi shows an implicit connection to the Kurds in Syria. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s statements, occurring in parallel to the new activity in the last 24 hours in and the connection to the Kurds, leave no doubt that there is a planned move here between Israel, the Kurds and the Druze – all of which have a common set of interests and concerns.
This move towards a federated autonomy for both Kurds and Druze in Syria under the external security of Israel is the first step in unleashing the true potential and comeback for three Middle Eastern Indigenous peoples who have long endured abuse under the thumb of radical Islam. It also offers a real attempt at blocking a resurgent Turkey and Qatar from taking over the Middle East.โ
From Netanyahu’s statements, it is clear Trump is onboard.
