Syrians Fear Israel Normalization Could Trigger Another Countrywide War<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Many Syrians fear another country-wide war could erupt if the country’s new post-Assad rulers make peace with Israel<\/strong> through a normalization deal based on Trump’s Abraham Accords.<\/p>\n

Last week, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0reports that normalization with Syria and Lebanon is on the table<\/strong>, as Prime Minister Netanyahu agrees with Washington on a hoped-for expansion of the Abraham Accords.<\/p>\n

“Israel is interested in expanding the Abraham Accords circle of peace and normalization,” Saar said. Israel had already signed deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan – the result of Trump’s first term in office.<\/p>\n

“We have an interest in adding countries such as Syria and Lebanon, our neighbors – to the circle of peace and normalization while safeguarding Israel’s essential and security interests<\/strong>,” Saar added.<\/p>\n

PM Netanyahu himself has recently said that the June war with Iran had opened “the path to dramatically enlarge the peace accord.”<\/p>\n

From a strategic point of view, Tel Aviv wants to isolate any Arab country which remains resistant and critical of its war in Gaza<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Going back to Hafez al-Assad who ruled Syria since 1970, Ba’ath-ruled Syria had long been Israel’s fiercest enemy and neighbor, with the two having fought several wars.<\/p>\n

The average Syrian has long been hugely critical of Zionism and Israeli expansionism, particularly since it came under control of the Golan Heights.<\/p>\n

Now under President Sharaa, hundreds of foreign jihadist groups are running around Syria, often persecuting Christians, Alawites, and Druze as Sharaa’s HTS government in Damascus turns a blind eye.<\/p>\n

ISIS is also a continuing reality in parts of Syria – though Sharaa himself is ‘former’-ISIS, as are some government ministers and officials.<\/p>\n

Strangely, or perhaps unsurprisingly given it was at one point a tool of the US regime change war<\/a> on Damascus, the Islamic State has never really waged a terror war against Israel<\/strong>. The reality is that Israel was also a big player in the CIA’s regime change operations, dubbed ‘Timber Sycamore’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
