Two Syrian journalists stated that the president’s speech Ahmed Al -Shara The latter constituted a direct message to Israel that it has lost full confidence in it, and that the military pressure will not be forced by Damascus to waive, especially in light of the indirect negotiations taking place between the two parties.
In statements to the Turkish Anatolia News Agency, the two journalists, Qutaiba Yassin and Ali Eid, considered that the speech carried a sharp and unprecedented tone towards Israel, especially with the use of Sharia to describe the “Israeli entity” in the context of its condemnation of the broad aggression carried out by the Israeli army on Wednesday in 4 Syrian provinces, including Damascus.
The Israeli attack targeted the headquarters of the Staff and the Ocean of the Presidential Palace, which resulted in 3 dead and 34 wounded, according to the Syrian Ministry of Health.
At a time when Israel is trying to impose a negotiating equation by force, the Sharia speech came to confirm – according to Yassin – that Damascus no longer sees the benefit of understanding with Tel AvivAnd he said: “Sharia has explicitly informed Israel: I no longer trust you or the guarantees of America.”
Yassin pointed out that the speech included a clear warning that any future war “will ignite the whole region”, recalling that Sharia has a 20 -year field experience.
Druze in Syria
He also pointed out that the speech carried an important internal dimension, represented in the messages directed by Sharia for the Druze in As -SuwaydaAnd stressing that “Syria will not be an arena for division or sedition.”
Yassin commented that the Syrian president spoke in a comprehensive national form, away from the begging or emotional discourse, saying: “He was clear and direct … he was not reading from a paper.”
In the same context, Eid pointed out that the speech showed a fundamental contrast in the two parties ’approach to the negotiating path, saying:” Sharia refused to negotiate under pressure, and hinted that the withdrawal of the temporary Syrian forces from As -Suwayda was to avoid blood and not weak. “
He considered that Israel is seeking to weaken the central state in Syria by detonating the internal situation, especially in the south.
Regional dimension
Eid also indicated that the speech did not lose sight of the regional dimension, as Sharia praised the role of Saudi Arabia and Turkey in supporting Syria, especially in the security file, considering that this is a source of inconvenience to Israel.
He pointed out that Tel Aviv may try to exploit the speech to raise the disturbances in the south, especially in the endosperm, which is witnessing a complex security situation.
As -Suwayda recently witnessed confrontations between Druze and Bedouin armed groups, killing more than 30 people and wounding about 100, according to the “SANA” agency, before government forces intervened to end security tension.
Yassin concluded by saying: “The Sharia speech opened a new page … The Syrians today are fighting the battle of existence, and the popular circumvention of the leadership is increasing.”
