Nationwide protests erupt across Syria following remarks on Syria’s demilitarization by Zionist Butcher Netanyahu
In Syria, large crowds have mobilized across various cities to voice their opposition to foreign involvement in the nation’s affairs. The demonstrations were sparked by recent contentious remarks made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Protesters convened in al-Karama Square, Suwayda, a region predominantly inhabited by the Druze community, on Tuesday. They assembled to express their dissent against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent proposal for a “demilitarization” zone in southern Syria, according to reports from local Syrian media.
Protesters voiced their sentiments with chants echoing across Syria, from Suwayda to Qamishlo and from Dara’a to Idlib, asserting that Syria belongs solely to its citizens and is not a possession of any external alliances or mandates.
The protests brought together a coalition of varied communities, encompassing Sunni, Christian, Druze, and Kurdish citizens, in a collective demonstration against foreign influences and occupations, with a particular focus on Turkey and the Israeli regime.
Demonstrators voiced significant disapproval towards both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, claiming that neither leader upholds the interests of the Syrian populace.
The powerful slogan “al-Suwayda is a red line” has risen as a declaration of defiance, asserting that the legitimacy of Syria ought to be determined internally, free from the influence of foreign entities.
In a call for unity, representatives urged for solidarity across all Syrian communities, highlighting that citizens, irrespective of their religious beliefs, are bound together by a shared history and an inseparable identity rooted in their citizenship and the nation’s geography.
Protesters have called upon the Syrian government in Damascus to adopt a resolute position in opposing foreign interventions while emphasizing the importance of preserving national sovereignty.
In a demonstration of unity, protests broke out in Quneitra, with locals denouncing comments made by Netanyahu. The residents assert these statements reveal Israel’s alleged plans to divide Syrian territory.
Demonstrators in Quneitra have described their protests as a direct reaction against the continuing Israeli occupation, urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to adhere to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria.
Amid ongoing protests, demonstrators in Quneitra prominently displayed banners advocating for “Syrian unity” and condemning any attempts at division. Their actions underscored the assertion that the land is the rightful heritage of its people.
In a similar display of public dissent, residents of Aleppo congregated at Saadallah al-Jabiri Square to voice their opposition to the recent statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Scores of demonstrators assembled outside the United Nations office in the Syrian capital of Damascus, expressing their condemnation of comments made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and denouncing Israel’s breaches of Syria’s sovereignty.
Following a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advocating for the “complete demilitarization” of southern Syria, there is now a proposal for an extended Israeli military presence in the region. This initiative would focus on areas surrounding the strategically significant Mount Hermon and would include the demilitarized zones in the provinces of Quneitra, Dara’a, and Suwayda.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has cautioned that Israel will not allow any groups associated with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) or the recently formed Syrian army to establish a presence in the region south of Damascus.
In a series of coordinated aerial assaults, Israeli fighter jets have launched attacks on a number of military installations across Syria. The strikes, which focused on key sites near Kiswah, south of Damascus, as well as various locations in the Dara’a region, mark an escalation in regional tensions.
According to a report by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Tel Aviv has initiated a plan aimed at “entering southern Syria and establishing control” over the area.
Following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December, Israeli forces have taken control of significant areas within the United Nations-monitored buffer zone on Syrian soil. This region was established under the 1974 ceasefire agreement.
In the wake of the collapse of the Assad regime, the Israeli Defense Forces have initiated a series of aerial strikes targeting former military installations, facilities, and arsenals of Syria’s dismantled army.
