Peloni: Al Julani was given an important opportunity to demonstrate that he had the power and conviction to end the sectarian violence in Syria which has plagued and defined that nation for many decades. He failed to do so, and when his own forces defied him, he issued vague warnings that violators will be held accountable, rather than providing public displays of such accountability. Now he is threatening Israel, no doubt to solidify his nation’s long standing sense of opposition to the Jewish state, and placing even greater pressure on those minorities which Israel has offered its support. Syria needs to recognize the rights of its minorities, focusing upon ending the violence against these groups, not challenging their Israeli neighbors who are in fact extending support to some of these Syrian minorities while they have been attacked with impudence and barbarism under the fledgling and failing leadership of Al Julani.
@Peloni I watched the whole thing and the text contradicts the title. Nowhere does it say that the Syrian government drew a red line and threatened Israel militarily.
This is what it says as echoed in other articles, such as this one:
“Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa vowed Sunday that the fight to reunify his war-torn country must be achieved through dialogue, not bloodshed, while accusing Israel of fueling unrest in the south. His remarks came as hundreds protested in Sweida over recent Druze-Bedouin clashes and called for self-determination in the Druze-majority province.”

@Sebastien
Fair observation.
Maybe Al Jolani thinks that the Turks have his back. One would think that they had suffered enough already! The Turks would love it but I doubt if NATO would support them in this case. More likely, they would love to see Turkey brought down a dozen or so pegs.
We need to feed and encourage civil war in Syria. When they are busy killing each other, then we can get on with our own lives.
We will NOT feed the Syrians too!
MBS & or Erdogan playing taqiyya with DJT!!!!
