Defense Minister Katz has already held a preliminary discussion this week, exploring various options, as reported by <em>Israel Hayom<\/em> on Thursday. One of the proposals discussed involves dividing Syria into regions, reflecting the ongoing turmoil within the fractured country and suspicions about the intentions of Syrian rebel leader al-Julani.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12712\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/syriaisrael-border-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/syriaisrael-border-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/syriaisrael-border-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/syriaisrael-border-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/syriaisrael-border-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/syriaisrael-border-2-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">IDF Forces in the Buffer Zone Between Syria and Israel | Credit: IDF Spokesperson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Proposal for an International Committee on Syria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The changing dynamics in Syria have sparked concerns about the safety of minority groups, including the Druze and Kurds. In response, there is a suggestion to establish an international committee to assess the situation in Syria. These discussions are currently confidential, as Israel\u2019s overt involvement could provoke rejection among the Syrian public and undermine the committee&#8217;s acceptance in the region. The committee would also serve to advance Israel\u2019s strategic interests along its northern border.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minister Eli Cohen: &#8220;Securing the Northern Border is Essential&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Minister and Cabinet member Eli Cohen, who initiated the proposal, stated, &#8220;Our goal is to ensure the security of our northern border and enable Israel to actively defend against threats posed by rebel groups that do not adhere to disengagement agreements.&#8221; While Israel has no intention of permanently remaining in Syria, it will not withdraw from strategic areas until Syria stabilizes. Such a committee could help reshape Syria\u2019s borders and governance, allowing Israel to exit without compromising its security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background and Broader Implications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This potential policy shift reflects Israel&#8217;s dual priorities: safeguarding its northern border and limiting direct involvement in Syria\u2019s domestic affairs. These deliberations underscore Israel\u2019s ongoing commitment to maintaining security amid regional instability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upcoming Strategic Meeting to Shape Israel&#8217;s Policy on Syria&#8217;s Future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":12711,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,66,8,6],"tags":[2613,1689,2030],"class_list":["post-12710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-idf","category-legal","category-politics","category-security","tag-israel-government","tag-security","tag-syria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
