Syria, once the leading frontline state against the Zionist bid to expand towards the River Euphrates as part of its dream to set up “Greater Israel”, has now become a virtual part of the illegal entity set up in Palestine by the non-Semitic east European claimants to Judaism.
Gone are the days when Syrians, whether Muslim, Christian, and Druze, whether Arab and Kurd, or whether Sunni, Alavi, and Shi’a, prided on their resistance against Israel.
With the unceremonious exit of President Bashar al-Asad and the seizure of power in Damascus by a takfiri terrorist clique, Syria is now in open alliance with the illegal Zionist entity against the interests of not just the Arab, but the whole Muslim Ummah.
The admission that Syria is in direct contact with the Zionist entity and has held face-to-face meetings with Israeli officials has been confirmed by the top terrorist of the takfiri regime in Damascus himself, that is, Ahmad ash-Sharaa --  the former wanted murderere Abu Mohammad al-Jolani whose hands are dipped in the blood of thousands of Syrians.
The talks with the Israelis are led by Ahmad ad-Dalati, the newly appointed governor of the province of Quneitra, who himself is a notorious killer of Arabs and Muslims.
That is the reason, on May 14, US President Donald Trump called Sharaa to the Saudi capital Riyadh and held a public meeting with him in front of TV cameras with instructions to recognize the illegal Zionist entity and establish diplomatic and trade relations with it.
As part of its Israel-appeasing policies, the Damascus regime has detained two senior members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance, which participated in the heroic October 7, 2023 Hamas-led operation against the Zionist entity.
Most Syrian people, however, are not happy with the regime’s pro Zionist policies. There is simmering discontent throughout the country, especially after the mass massacre of the Alavis over a month ago, the growing ethnic fears of the sizeable Kurd population, and suppression of mainstream anti-terrorist Sunni majority.
In view of these facts, the takfiri terrorist clique may not last long in Damascus and is most likely to pay the price for its treason, since the Syrian people have not forgotten the 500,000 killed during the decade long civil conflict and the displacement of millions of people.
