The IDF will remain on Mount Hermon and in the Syrian security zone “to protect the communities of the Golan and the Galilee,” said Israel Katz.
The Syrian president said there had been some progress in the ongoing negotiations for a renewed security agreement with Israel.
Ahmed al-Sharaa accused Israel of “meddling” in a speech in which he assigned blame to “all sides” in addition to his security forces.
The recent IDF campaign in Syria may have damaged the prospects for an expansion of the Abraham Accords.

“Tomorrow’s action follows the Syrian government’s commitment to combat terrorism in all its forms,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated.
Israel’s approach to any agreement with Syria is shaped by hard-learned lessons from past diplomatic efforts.
Ahmed al-Sharaa’s new government should also “take necessary steps to ban and deport Palestinian terror groups,” said Dorothy Shea, the interim U.S. ambassador.
President Ahmed al-Sharaa must “protect the Druze in the suburbs of Damascus from attacks by jihadist rioters,” said Defense Minister Israel Katz.
“Instead of merely reacting to developments, we now see an Israel that actively shapes events,” Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak tells JNS.
