Jewish Entity: The signals to Damascus are over, and now the painful strikes will come
The war minister of the Jewish entity, Yisrael Katz, sent threats to Syria on 2025/7/16, saying, "The signals to Damascus are over, and now the painful strikes will come... The army will continue to work strongly in Suwaida to destroy the forces that attacked the Druze until their complete withdrawal... The Syrian government must leave the Druze alone." The spokesman for the Jewish army said: "The army continues to strike military targets of the Syrian regime. A short while ago, it attacked the headquarters of the Syrian regime's General Staff in the Damascus area." He added: "The leaders of the Syrian regime are managing the fighting from the General Staff headquarters in Damascus and are sending regime forces to the Suwaida area."
The Prime Minister of the Jewish entity, Netanyahu, and his war minister, Katz, issued instructions to their forces on 2025/7/15 to strike Syrian forces and weapons that were deployed in Suwaida, claiming that they threaten their entity. Their planes carried out raids on Syrian forces in support of the armed, supported, rebellious Druze groups.
Subsequently, the Syrian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying: "The attacks came at a calculated time and in a suspicious context aimed at destabilizing national stability and striking Syrian unity at a critical moment in which the state is seeking to consolidate security and recover from the effects of the war. The state is keen to protect Syrians without exception, especially the Druze community." Syrian television reported that "Israeli planes carried out 4 raids on the outskirts of the city of Suwaida, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries among Syrian soldiers." The Syrian News Agency (SANA) reported that "Israeli air strikes targeted the outskirts of the city of Izraa in the Daraa countryside."
It is worth mentioning that the forces of the Jewish entity have been attacking Syria during the era of Bashar al-Assad, and after his escape on 2024/12/8, the attacks continued, destroying hundreds of military sites and advancing towards Damascus to a distance of 25 km from it, so they occupied new Syrian lands, including Mount Hermon, and they are still continuing their attacks and taking the Druze issue as a means of intervention and striking Syrian forces. The new Syrian regime, headed by Ahmed al-Shara, has adopted a policy of not confronting the Jewish entity and then seeking to conclude peace agreements with it, falsely believing that this will preserve its regime and ward off the evil of the Jews from Syria.

The Syrian President resorts to mediation to avoid war with the Jewish entity
Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara said on the morning of 2025/7/17, following the attacks launched by the Jewish entity in Syria: "We were faced with the choice between war with Israel or allowing the Druze elders to agree, so we chose to protect the homeland," and added, "We are not afraid of war, but we put the interest of the people above chaos, and our best option was to protect the homeland, and the Syrian state intervened with all its institutions to stop what happened in Suwaida from internal fighting and succeeded in controlling the matter." He said: "Israel sought to undermine the ceasefire (in Suwaida) were it not for American, Arab, and Turkish mediation."
It appears that Ahmed al-Shara is still moving away from correct thinking and correct action, as he does not want to declare jihad and open fronts against the Jewish entity, which he mentioned that it "has been seeking since the fall of the defunct regime to turn our land into a land of conflict and dismantle our people." He thinks that protecting the internal front is achieved without carrying out jihad to deter and repel aggression, so he resorts to mediations as he announced. This will not benefit him and Syria in the long run, and Gaza is an example, as the American, Egyptian, Qatari, and other Arab mediations did not deter the Jewish entity from continuing the war of extermination in it.

Turkish Foreign Minister views Palestine as a humanitarian issue, not a fateful cause
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a speech on the evening of 2025/7/16 before the UN Security Council in New York at a session to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza, in which he said: "Israel does not want peace, and it does not want stability... There is no need to beat around the bush. Let's face the truth. After 80 years, the world is once again witnessing the return of concentration camps, an ongoing extermination campaign against an entire people... The Israeli war machine is still targeting children who are trying to get water for their families or mothers who are looking for food for their children. This machine feeds on hatred, feeds on impunity, and feeds on unconditional support from some... The tragic situation in Gaza has become a reality because of the choice of some to turn a blind eye even to the most severe suffering... This cannot continue... Israel is trying to implement its aggressive strategy in Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, and not only in Palestine."
The Turkish Foreign Minister sufficed with diagnosing the tragic reality in Gaza and the goals of the Jewish entity, and he knows that this talk does not affect or deter the Jewish entity from its crimes. Rather, he called for confirming the great betrayal by recognizing the Jewish entity and its usurpation of about 80% of Palestine by calling for the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state. He did not call for military action from Turkey and other Islamic countries to confront the Jewish entity, which does not only threaten Palestine as he mentioned, but threatens the entire region, including Turkey, and considered the issue as humanitarian and did not consider it a fateful issue for the Islamic nation, and waits for America to stop the war, which is waging the war through the Jewish entity, and which is working to usurp Palestine completely from the hands of its Muslim people, and its president Trump has explicitly announced this, saying that he wants to expand the Jewish entity.
