Israel Criticizes the New Syrian Government, Calling It a Terrorist Gang

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar described the new Syrian government as a "terrorist gang" that was previously based in Idlib and seized control of Damascus, emphasizing that it was not established through a democratic process. He highlighted that countries are eager to repatriate refugees to Syria but overlook internal challenges such as tensions with the Alawites, Turkish threats against Kurdish autonomy, and harassment of the Christian community. Meanwhile, Damascus' new governor, Maher Marwan, stated that Syria is not seeking conflict with Israel and expressed a desire to improve relations with the support of the United States, asserting that Syria cannot rival Israel
