Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the United States to mediate in talks with Syria’s Interim Government, Axios reported on June 11.
Netanyahu made the request to Tom Barrack, US President Donald Trump’s Syria envoy and ambassador to Turkey, when he was in Israel last week, according to the report, which said that the primer indicated that he wants to negotiate a new security deal as a step toward a peace agreement.
The deal would update the 1974 disengagement agreement between the countries, and would start the process of full peace.
“We want to try and move towards normalization with Syria as soon as possible,” Axios quoted a senior Israeli official as saying.
Israel showed great suspicion towards Syria’s new ruler, invading the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights and destroying much of the country’s military capabilities right after the fall of the Assad regime last December.
In May, Israel escalated even further, openly threatening Interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa and launching strikes right next to his palace in Damascus.
Still, Israel engaged the Syrian government indirectly, two Israeli officials told Axios, adding that the two sides then moved to direct covert meetings in third countries.
“It is better for us that the Syrian government is close to the U.S. and Saudi Arabia” than Turkey, a senior Israeli official tells the news website.
Israeli officials told Barrack that their red lines in Syria are no Turkish bases, no Iranian or Hezbollah presence and demilitarization of southern Syria. Israel also wants U.S. forces in the United Nation force overseeing disengagement agreement, according to Axios.
The website added that Israeli officials believe the Sharaa might be open to an agreement that does not include a full Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights.
During Trump’s first term, the U.S. recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Syrian Golan Heights, occupied by in 1967 then annexed in 1981.
The Syrian government has from the outset indicated that it seeks calm and even eventual peace with Israel, without making any demands with regards to the Golan Heights.
All in all, Sharaa was never apparently Israel’s problem when it comes to Syria. In fact, Netanyahu hinted more than once that Israel played a role in the fall of the regime of former president Bashar al-Assad, meaning they opened the road towards Damascus for Sharaa.
Israel’s real problem in Syria is Turkey’s ambition to turn the country into a satellite state, with a strategic partnership including a defense pact. Recent reports revealed plans by Ankara to establish ground, naval and air bases in Syria, bringing the Turkish military closer than ever to the border of Israel.
Netanyahu on June 11 took a clear shot at Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, declaring, “The Ottoman Empire will not be revived any time soon.” These remarks, delivered during an official Knesset address, were widely interpreted as a rebuke of Ankara’s neo-Ottoman ambitions.
Over the past year or so, Israel succeeded in weakening the influence of Iran, from the Gaza Strip, to Lebanon, and Syria. Now, Netanyahu apparently sees Turkey and its influence as the next big threat facing Israel. A confrontation may be inevitable, but it would be a mistake of Turkey to rely too much on Syria as its new rulers have shown in the past that they are more than willing to make drastic shifts to stay in power.
Sharaa’s next big move may be to step away from his key ally, Turkey, in favor of a safer partnership with the U.S, Saudi Arabia and even Israel. It is not completely unrealistic to speculate that Turkey could end up the biggest loser from the fall of the Assad regime.

i have never read so much bullshit in my entire life. you jewish idiots are so indoctrinated it’s almost sad how funny it is.
we americans got you properly propagandized, and you dolts don’t even notice it.
your post will trigger an extreme schizophrenic episode. the rest of its’ shift may well be afflicted.
bagels and cheap coffee angrily tossed everywhere.
you should learn your place hasbarat. its in an oven at 500 degrees
it craves attention. something like a one megaton thermonuke would suffice.
waste of gas.
the israelis enjoy war and involve everyone around them in it, they like it, just as the crypto-jews also recruited themselves into the inquisition. by the way, a crazy jew had sex with a syrian whore and he made an even crazier son like he. he is jolani. if erdogan know he was deceived, jolani won’t be happy
i would be happy if erdogan killed him. even more so if the next one says that the russians and americans should get out of syria.
kiss your ghey goats anuhs good bye
…heheheh
remember when you idiots thought “the axis of resistance” would defeat us?
heheheheh …guillable idiots! 🤡 😆😆😆
it will defeat you, does it make you feel good supporting head hacking savages and laughing like a rabid hyena?
it worked as long as putin and assad did not issue syria and, as a result, iran too.
tomorrow.
kiss your ghey goats anuhs good bye
lolz

lolz
so you aknowledge that you are a nazi, perfect
what a clownshow you ukrainish dolts are 🤡 😆😆😆
nobody to leech off. the zio regime will go up in a puff of smoke. the shlomos will then be dezionised like germany was denazified.
and what will happen? will erdogan find out who the traitor is?
the way you treat zionists is you first obtain a nuke, then you negotiate with them. any agreement signed with jews is absolutely worthless unless you are in a position to wipe their sorry asses from the map. what the region needs is islamic nuclear weapons
“axis of resistance”–rip (rest in piss)!
heheheh
resistance will always exist as long as you zionists behave like cockroaches. try some more of that “heheheh” for ukraine, another failed jewish experiment
i understand you must make your ghey goats happy from behind. thats the only love you get when you’re a moshlom living in the sand and rubble
lolz
by starting the war in syria, bibi triggered a feedback loop of political nemesis. every action he takes now contributes to his own destruction.
you’re craving attention yhiddish child, from what you perceive as a masculine identity.
your homosexual inclination is appearing early, as with all the other inbreeding baggage.
she was killed by putler because he killed utkin, netanyahu because he killed nasrallah, and trump because he killed soleimani.putler is a monster and i hope sultan erdogan secretly slaughters the unfaithful puppet (jolani) and replaces it with another one.
israel’i animals are feeling extreme penetration …heheheh
strong suspicion its the other way around, “nukes” are totally worthless. they fouled you by “moon landings”, “nine eleven”, “viruses”. still you do not recognize what psychopaths are.
you got syphillis from too much ghey goat loving.
switch to camels.
lolz
35 years after the fall of the berlin wall, it has become clear that resource-poor israel has become much poorer than its former arab neighbors such as syria, lebanon, poland and egypt, which have embarked on the path of pan-arab integration. the jewish regime has no incentive to start a war and deal with this economic reality.
but first you’ll have to stop loving your ghey goats from behind
lolz
of course they do julani is their jihadi bitch, for how long remains to be seen.
i hope assad & his family enjoy living in a moscow apartment…heheheh
i hope traitors are eaten by cancer or a hungry bear.
israel’s enemies are feeling extreme penetration…heheheh
it’s different than from the ghey goat lovin’
they’ll have to adjust
lolz
kiss your ghey goats anuhs good bye
…heheheh
israel’i animals are feeling extreme penetration…heheheh
smoke & mirrors, jewlani was always bound to its wahabbi and zionist masters.
the traitorous russian pigs think that the beglerbeg can change the sultan. what happened to your non-traitorous minister who preceded the traitorous dog lavrov?
andrei karlov was an ambassador, not a minister, because he wasn’t a thief, so the russians didn’t appoint him as a minister. in russia, you have to be either a psychopath, a thief, or a pedophile to be a politician.
i hope this is really found: на чија ће закуцати врата, нови момак вођа атентата? нови момак а старо правило, које нас је учио гаврило.

what almost happened to our holy lord john paul ii? once, in herceg novi, a local told me a beautiful poem: продао си по јадарна и загорје цијело да усташког прво слово објесиш на чело ниси знао шта те чека жалосна ти мајка гледаће ти јадран фрањо из неког прикрајка ја у твојој кожи не бих провео ни сата!
пролио си много суза из народног ока у помоћ си дозивао геншера и мока јесу твоји католици и на твојој страни ал запамтил ти си словен они су германи ја у твојој кожи не бих провео ни сата! погинућеш хеј туђмане од својих хрвата! кад на одмор сутра дођеш повуко си мачк
i hope erdogan feels betrayed and sends jolani to allah and his horned angels.
i hope erdogan kills the traitor.
erdogan is a traitor if he hadn’t waged war against syria there would still be a syria.
which is why they keep bombing it?
israel wants to further its rule of syria and is using the us to do it . ( again ) but the real israeli prizes are the syrian ports and roads needed to supply war with iran . so turkey has to be moved aside . this has been planned for many years . yet the world is changing , and will not accept this . hello brics !
hamas have just killed 50 zionist collaborator stooges in a militia created by the zionist regime in gaza to serve its interests. they were from 2 criminal gangs led by a convicted drug trafficker called shabab. hamas eliminated many of these traitors and would have got shabab as well but zionist forces intervened to save him. nuttyyahoo openly admitted recruiting these thugs to use as proxies in gaza, just like jewlani in syria.
hopefully the remainder will be tracked down and dealt with in the coming days.
