Axius website quoted a US official as saying that there are increasing doubts within the president’s administration Donald Trump On Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting that the feeling that his finger on the trigger is very annoying.
The US official added that Netanyahu sometimes deals as a child who does not act properly, and that there is increasing concern inside the White House about his regional policies despite the ceasefire in Syria.
He pointed out that the Israeli bombing of Syria surprised President Trump, as he does not like to watch bombs received in a country in which he is seeking peace and issued an advertisement regarding its reconstruction.
He continued that Israel should not decide whether the Syrian government is able to exercise its sovereignty, stressing that Trump had previously encouraged Netanyahu to keep parts of Syria and then did not fear the intervention of Israel.
An Israeli official also told Aksius that the current Israeli policy will lead to instability in Syria, and the Druze community and Israel alike will lose both.
Barak’s position
In turn, the American envoy to Syria confirmed Tom Barak The hostilities will not be contained in the endosperm except with an agreement to stop violence, protect innocents and the arrival of aid, indicating that all parties agreed to a ceasefire by five in the evening Damascus time.
Barak stressed that the permanent calm is the same as the complete exchange of hostages and detainees, which is being implemented, as he put it.

For his part, the US Secretary of State said Marco Rubio His country has been extensively involved during the past three days with Israel, Jordan and the authorities in Damascus on developments in southern Syria.
The American minister talked about the necessity of stopping what he described as rape and murder of innocent people, calling for the cessation of fighting between Bedouin and Druze groups inside the region “immediately”.
The beginning of the crisis
It is noteworthy that armed clashes erupted on July 13, between Bedouin clans and Druze groups in As -Suwayda, followed by movements of government forces towards the region to impose security, but they were attacked by groups that she described as “outside the law and the law” that resulted in the killing of dozens of soldiers.
As part of its efforts to contain the crisis, the Syrian government announced 4 agreements to a ceasefire in As -Suwayda, the last of which was yesterday, Saturday.
The previous three ceasefire agreements did not withstand long, as the clashes were renewed last Friday after a group of Hijri rule displaced a number of Bedouin tribesmen and practiced violations against them.
Under the pretext of “Protecting the Druze”, Israel took advantage of the recent turmoil in As -Suwayda and escalated its aggression against Syria, as last Wednesday launched intense raids on 4 governorates that included the headquarters of the Staff and the Oce of the Presidential Palace in Damascus.
