Spotlight on Syria (February 26 – March 5, 2025)

The Syrians were angered by threats issued by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz to take action against the regime in Damascus if the Druze in the town of Jaramana were harmed by the Syrian security forces. Leaders of the Druze community said they supported a united state and rejected foreign intervention.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa (Abu Muhammad al-Julani) called on Arab states to assist his country against “Israeli violations” and hinted Syria might respond to the continued activities of IDF forces in the Golan Heights and the airstrikes on Syrian military installations.

President al-Sharaa participated in the Arab emergency summit on the Gaza Strip held in Cairo and said he opposed plans to “uproot” Palestinians.

The commander of the Kurdish militia of the Syrian Democratic Forces said the ceasefire of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey did not apply to them.
