MASSIVE Civil Backlash Has New Syria Leadership Reeling!

Right, so feelings of euphoria in Syria following the fall of the Assad regime, 53 years of the same family ruling over the people there are turning a little bit sour it has to be said and the feeling that anyone would be better than Assad, might not actually be true, because Israel continues to run rampant through the Syrian countryside and the new guy in charge, Abu Muhammad Al-Jolani still seems to be sat there, doing nothing about it, not prepared to defend them against Israeli incursions and now has people asking themselves as to whether this guy is actually on their side or the side of Benjamin Netanyahu.
It’s a perfectly valid question to ask of course, Al-Jolani’s HTS outfit were aided and abetted by Israel, along with Turkey and the US, he’s seen by some in the West as an obvious CIA asset and therefore striking Israel is something he simply will not do, seeing himself on their side and very much the side of the US, who have handed him $10m dollars, which oddly enough is exactly the same amount of money as the bounty the US placed on his head, so did he hand himself in for the reward is a question some wits have been pondering, but either way, Israel don’t see Al-Jolani as an ally, the Syrian people certainly don’t see themselves as Israeli allies, so Al-Jolani needs to make his mind up who’s side he is actually on, Israel’s or that of his people, because he can’t be both and the longer he tries to be, the shorter his reign will probably end up being.
Right, so is Syria falling apart again already? Well quite possibly as the new HTS led administration is now increasingly being questioned in its ability to lead. Having taken power, now what do they do with it, now they’ve largely been abandoned, Syria destabilised for mostly Israeli interests, but when Israeli interests are basically identical to US interests, deposing Assad and installing a puppet on their behalf, it becomes clear that what we’ve seen here is by and large another proxy war to achieve a given western aim, disrupt Syria and by extension disrupt Iran and Hezbollah and supply lines between the two.
If Al Jolani is a CIA proxy puppet representing US and Israeli interests, well he’s certainly been singing from that hymn sheet, professing his alliance with Israel and that Iran and Hezbollah are his enemy, we’ve seen that repeated as a running theme throughout foreign media especially, what I’ve seen referred to as the Balkanisation of Syria – long term instability and a reliance on Western assistance and association – but the ones that lose out most of all in that scenario, the ones as an observer you side with yourself in this picture, are the innocent Syrians caught up in such machinations.
These people suffered under the Assad regime and for those saying they didn’t the scenes of mass celebration and cheering at his departure tell a different story, clearly a show of them believing anyone must be better than Assad, even if that anything turned out to be Al-Jolani, his Hayat Tahrir al-Sham outfit, HTS and those groups collaborating with them, all of whom come from a scrappy assemblage of former Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists, leftovers of those groups as HTS are, a terror group as HTS remains defined itself as by many different nations. You can be anti Assad and anti Al-Qaeda cast-offs, just be on the side of the Syrian people.
Well those same people are now beginning to wonder I daresay if what they’ve traded Assad in for was worth it given Israel is still running rampant across their land, still seizing territory, still acting like it owns the place, the US directing it all and be very much a large part of the problem too and their new leader seems to just be letting them do it.
Since 2011 when the Arab Spring uprising triggered civil war in Syria, Syria has been a poor country in many respects, from poverty caused by war, to human rights abuses at Assad’s hands, their economy has been hammered and will take time to rebuild and become prosperous once more and on one hand they have all that oil, that accounted for a quarter of Syrian exports back in 2011, but the oil rich northeast of Syria is now dominated and controlled by US interests, so the new HTS administration doesn’t really have control over it and this map largely points that out, the orange areas are under basically US occupation, taking up the majority of oil fields along the whole of the Iraq border, plus a chunk in the south straddling the point where the borders of Iraq and Jordan meet. Turkey also occupies parts of northern Syria and that’s a point worth coming back to in a moment, note the gap in between those green belts, that’s what I‘m coming back to and of course the blue bit of Israeli occupied Syria has increased, from that image, having now pushed further east.
Where HTS might like to get their oil rich lands back, that may not be possible. The US still has sanctions placed on Syria amongst other nations and even if they were to hand that land over to HTS, getting that close to the Iraqi border, well, Iraq have already said they’ll pre-emptively strike any HTS attempts to move in on their border as I discussed in a video just yesterday, so it might not even be feasible and to get those sanctions lifted so they can export more widely again, Syria has a large agricultural industry too, can they have their oil back and get sanctions lifted when the US has so much sway over both of those things? They’ll never let Syria have their way at their own expense and when oil is the biggest driver of the US presence in the Middle East anyway that goes for double.
But then there is the element that neither HTS nor the US seem to have much control over and that is the rogue element and the rogue behaviour of Israel. They are still bombing Syria, they are still pushing to seize more land, they’ve annexed more of the Golan Heights and announced plans to settle there and ensure it remains part of Israel forever. And where is the HTS response to that? Seemingly nowhere.
Al Jolani has told Benjamin Netanyahu that he is their friend and they will not fire upon Israel to which Netanyahu and the IDF have seemingly just flipped the bird to him, laughed and carried on seizing territory and razing chunks of Syrian infrastructure, homes and countryside. Here’s an excerpt from The Cradle from just yesterday, detailing the continued Israeli expansionism:
‘Footage posted on social media on 17 December showed Israeli tanks moving through the Syrian village of Saida in the occupied Golan Heights, on the administrative border between the governorates of Deraa and Quneitra.
A Sputnik correspondent reported earlier on Tuesday that “an Israeli helicopter landed near a military site around the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday evening and left the area after about 20 minutes.”
The Israeli military pushed deeper into the Damascus countryside on Monday, after advancing towards the Beirut–Damascus international highway and taking control of the Yarmouk Basin – a highly essential fresh water source.
Late on Sunday and into the early hours of Monday, Israeli warplanes carried out the most violent and intense round of airstrikes on Syria yet.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who now goes by his real name Ahmad al-Sharaa, told The Times in an interview released later on Monday that the new Syria will not be hostile to Israel.
Julani called on Tel Aviv to withdraw from the country and stop its airstrikes. The former Al-Qaeda leader said, “Israel’s justification was the presence of Hezbollah and Iranian militias, so that justification is gone.”
“We are committed to the 1974 agreement and we are prepared to return the UN [monitors]. We do not want any conflict whether with Israel or anyone else and we will not let Syria be used as a launchpad for attacks.’
Israel isn’t committed to the 1974 agreement, Israel have declared it null and void, so they’re taking zero notice of you sunshine and you’re still saying you won’t retaliate or do anything more than write strongly worded letters to the UN? No wonder Syria’s people are getting the hump with you already, they know Israel for what it is, you did a deal with them to depose Assad and now you have to live with the consequences of that, much like the likes of for example Zelensky in Ukraine does, in that your backside is now effectively owned by Western interests – and of course the fact Zelensky was aiding HTS with drone tech - but the people of Syria very much didn’t do the deal and you now have to answer to them.
In that regard Israel will keep seizing more territory, the US will have no issue with that, more land they can use as well on top of that they already control in Syria and where the CIA wishes to move against the likes of Iran and beyond them their allies such as China and Russia, the staging ground being Syria is set.
On top of that, Syria is a really diverse place, but only some of the groups there will be ungovernable for them. In Syria you have Kurds, Shiites, Alawites and Christians alike and that also segues me into a potential second invasion of Syria potentially about to kick off as Turkey is lining up on it’s southern borders with Syria, eying up that bit of Syria’s northern border that they don’t control, the key city there being Kobani, now Kurdish controlled, the Kurds having driven ISIS out of the area, they also had to ensure Turkey didn’t invade in 2019, helped by the Syrian Army and Russia to keep Erdogan out. What was once ISIS of course now forms part of Al-Jolani’s HTS, so there’s every reason to believe a Turkish invasion is imminent and perversely, parts of Al-Jolani’s bunch might help them do it, demonstrating exactly why HTS cannot govern all of these groups.
Al-Julani is looking more and more with every passing day to be a weak leader, with few friends beholden to Western interests so depraved they’d do deals with Al-Qaeda leftovers like Al Jolani to begin with. If Syrians are waking up to this, he has nobody to blame but himself.
Demonstrating further how isolated Syria now is under Al-Jolani are threats such as those having now come from Iraq should HTS come anywhere near their border, which is unfortunate since it is where most of Syria’s oil is.
