Israel's military campaign in Syria: Golf states are calling for immediate withdrawal!

Kuneitra, Syrien - The situation in the border area between Israel and Syria escalates increasingly after the Israeli forces entered the demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan two weeks ago. This happened after the fall of the Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad and is sharply criticized by the Gulf States. These require Israel to withdraw from the occupied areas, which is also accompanied by a critical situation within the Syrian civilian population, as reported krone.at . In the occupied villages, protests are becoming increasingly common in which Israeli soldiers shot on civilians, which led to several injuries.

rising military presence and international reactions

The military actions of Israel in Syria are part of a strategic realignment of the country. Since the fall of Assad, Israel has bombed hundreds of goals in Syria to destroy military capacities. The last attacks have been described as the most violent for a decade. There were also plans to strengthen Israeli presence in Golan, while Israel is also isolated in the international community; Only the United States recognizes Israel's sovereignty over the Golan heights, such as NZZ.CH

The Israeli government, however, explains that the military commitment in Syria is initially temporary to protect Israel. Defense Minister Israel Katz announced, however, that the Israeli forces should prepare for a long time, which raises questions about the duration and future of Israeli military presence in the region. These developments could further heat the geopolitical tensions and strengthen the grown uncertainty in the Middle East.
