Syria fears an unusual Israeli move just before the elections

Syria fears an unusual Israeli move just before the elections in Israel, as reported on Kan News. A source in Damascus said they fear Netanyahu will act in Syria for political gains. The concern arose after Netanyahu revealed a difficult conversation with Syrian President al-Sharaa about the massacre in the Druze mountains. A Syrian official rejected the attempt to drag the Druze community into the election campaign.

Syria is anxiously monitoring the possibility of an unusual Israeli move against it just before the elections in Israel, as reported on the Kan News broadcast. A knowledgeable source in Damascus told Kan News that Syria is concerned about moves Prime Minister Netanyahu might carry out in Syria to gain advantages in the current election campaign. The same Syrian source added that the elections appear fateful and Netanyahu may take an extraordinary action. The Syrian concern is based on Netanyahu's disclosure at a gathering of the Druze community, where he revealed that he held a difficult phone conversation with Syrian President al-Sharaa to stop the massacre in the Druze mountains in southern Syria last summer. In response, a Syrian government official briefed the official media that they strongly reject Netanyahu's attempt to drag the Druze community in Syria into Israel's election campaign. In Damascus, they hope that after the elections Israel will change its policy regarding the Syrian arena, but they fear what might happen just before them.
