Israel says it has no intention of interfering in Syria's internal affairs
Israel is not going to interfere in the internal affairs of Syria, but will firmly protect its own security interests. This was stated by Dmitry Gendelman, advisor to the Israeli prime minister, in Telegram on December 10.
"Israel does not intend to interfere in Syria's internal affairs, but will firmly defend its security interests," the publication said.
In addition, Gendelman warned that Israel would strike a decisive blow if the new authorities in Syria allow Iran, hostile to Tel Aviv, to strengthen its presence in the country again.
He expressed hope that Syria's future leadership would re-establish contact with the Arab world and serve the interests of its people.
Earlier in the day, Vassily Nebenzya, permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations and the UN Security Council, noted the contradictory views of Israel regarding the Golan Heights. According to him, it is unclear what part of the Golan Heights Israel considers part of its territories when taking into account their violation of the buffer zone.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared the Golan Heights to be under Israeli control indefinitely. Netanyahu added that Israeli strikes against the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and Iran were the reason for the end of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's rule.
Amid these developments, the IDF announced the deployment of forces along the Syrian border to ensure the safety of communities in the Golan Heights and Israeli citizens. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the demarcation agreement with Syria has been terminated due to the withdrawal of Syrian troops. Later it was reported that the Israeli military took control of Mount Hermon.
The situation in Syria escalated as a result of a major attack by armed formations in Aleppo and Idlib, which began on November 28 and led to the Syrian army's retaliation against the militants.
