"Netanyahu in a lengthy statement on Israel's actions in Syria: I want to update you on what weve done in Syria and what we will do in Syria. Weve set a clear policy: demilitarization of the area south of Damascus from the Golan Heights to the Jabal al-Druze region. Thats one red line. The second is protecting our brothers' brothers the Druze in Jabal al-Druze. Both of these red lines were violated by the regime in Damascus. It sent military forces south of Damascus into the area that is supposed to be demilitarized and it began massacring Druze. This was absolutely unacceptable to us." @AmitSegal on X 2025-07-17 13:08:09 UTC 39.1K followers, 121K engagements
