Occupation's PM details call with Al-Sharq
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that more than a year ago, he had a short, sharp phone call with Syrian President Ahmed al-Shirsh. This occurred after Israel bombed the Syrian Ministry of Defense and carried out strikes near the presidential palace in Damascus in July 2025. This call marks the first between the two leaders since al-Shirsh came to power in late 2024 following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, and it is also the first communication between Israel and Syria, who have fought numerous wars. Netanyahu explained that he contacted al-Shirsh after Israel aimed to protect the Druze in southern Syria, a region embroiled in sectarian conflict in the Sweida province. He emphasized that he is making efforts to protect the brothers in Syria. Currently, Israel and Damascus are holding discussions regarding a security agreement, with Syria demanding the withdrawal of Israeli forces from a buffer zone along the border—a demand Israel rejects.
