Peloni: This adds to the report made several days ago by Mudar Zahran regarding Syria’s involvement in dismantling Hezbollah. Such coordination provides both important opportunities and worrisome concerns with regards tackling Hezbollah, a Shiite terror organization which stands as a common enemy to both Syria/Turkey and Israel. Ultimately, this will further add to Turkey’s regional influence, if not an outright expansion of its already too well expanded empire, while also earning it a greater threat and forward access towards Israel, something which should call to mind Erdogan’s so often repeated goal of conquering Israel.
Israel is weighing partial security coordination with Syria amid Lebanon’s failure to rein in Hezbollah, potentially overseeing southern Lebanon while Syria handles the north; the Syrian Hermon may be returned, with talks, direct or U.S.-mediated, seen as a last-resort option.

Turkey is the power behind the Jihadi in power in Syria. Turkey after Iran and the Hezis are totally diminished will be the next security challenge for Israel in all liklihood.
Israel will not return the Hermon to Syria. It is a very strategic location.
I am very skeptical about this because Israel does not trust the Syrian Islamist government.
@Rafi
This is exactly what I have expected was the purpose in having an HTS radical in power in Syria, why the US promoted him, and why MBS supported him. I hope I am wrong, but it seems this may be exactly what has been planned.
It should be carved in stone by now: Never relinquish territory.
Anyway, where is the article?
@Vivarto
At this point, it is breaking news. There is not yet an article on this subject.
Why should Israel return Hermon to Syria?
