US EditionSyria condemns Netanyahu's visit to its Israeli-occupied south
Netanyahu’s visit underscores Israel’s refusal to withdraw from buffer zone territory captured after Assad’s fall, amid stalled Syria security talks and regional condemnations.
- On Nov 19, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli troops in the buffer zone in southern Syria, accompanied by Defence Minister Israel Katz and senior military chiefs, the prime minister's office said.
- After the December 8, 2024 advance, the IDF seized buffer-zone positions, expanding the security zone, and U.S.-brokered security talks have stalled as Israel refuses to withdraw from posts seized after December 2024.
- Video from the Prime Minister's Office showed Benjamin Netanyahu stepping from a helicopter wearing a flak jacket, visiting an IDF observation post where he observed the sector, held a security discussion and met regular and reserve soldiers on Wednesday.
- Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the visit as a sovereignty violation and a new attempt to `impose a fait accompli`, while Stephane Dujarric and Russia's ambassador also condemned the trip.
- With Syria demanding a return to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, stalled security pact talks between Israel and Syria heighten risks as Najat Rochdi warned Israeli actions endanger civilians and inflame tensions.
