Speaker 1: to immediately attack the regime forces and the weaponry that
Speaker 1: entered the Swider area of the Druze Mountain in Syria,
Speaker 1: and that the regime intended to use against the Drews,
Speaker 1: which was done in contravention of the demilitarization policy they
Speaker 1: decided on of preventing the entry of forces and weaponry
Speaker 1: that endangers Israel in the southern region of Syria. Israel
Speaker 1: is committed to preventing harm being inflicted on the Drews
Speaker 1: in Syria, owing to the deep covenant of blood with
Speaker 1: our Dreuze citizens in Israel and their historical and familial
Speaker 1: link to the Drews in Syria. We are acting to
Speaker 1: prevent the Syrian regime from harmingham and to ensure the
Speaker 1: demilitarization of the region adjacent to our border with Syria.
Speaker 1: The Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu, in a recorded video
Speaker 1: statement on Wednesday, said, and in quotes, my fellow citizens
Speaker 1: of the Dreuze region, the situation in Swider, the situation
Speaker 1: in southwest Syria is very serious. The IDF is operating
Speaker 1: the air force is operating, other forces are operating. We
Speaker 1: are working to save are Drus brothers and to eliminate
Speaker 1: the regime's gangs. And now I have one request from you.
Speaker 1: You are a citizen of Israel. Do not cross the line.
Speaker 1: You are endangering your lives. You can be murdered, you
Speaker 1: can be kidnapped, and you are hurting the efforts of
Speaker 1: the IDF. And that's why I'm asking you go back
Speaker 1: to your homes. Let the id F act. Aned News
Speaker 1: and Israel based news media in Details reported that Syrian
Speaker 1: regime forces began withdrawing Wednesday evening from the predominantly Druze
Speaker 1: southern Swider province, following five days of intense clashes, Israeli
Speaker 1: air strikes and mass cross border movement of drews from
Speaker 1: Israel inter Syrian territory. The withdrawal was part of a
Speaker 1: cease fire agreement reached between the regime and senior figures
Speaker 1: in the local Dreuze leadership. The deal, announced earlier in
Speaker 1: the day by Shaikh Yusif Jerbua, a prominent Dreuze cleric,
Speaker 1: calls for the full integration of Swider into the new
Speaker 1: Syrian administration. However, it also requires the regime's military units,
Speaker 1: which were involved in heavy fighting in the region, to
Speaker 1: pull out and allow local Drew's forces to take over
Speaker 1: internal security. Local media reported that the pullback began around
Speaker 1: nine p m under the terms of the agreement, which
Speaker 1: permits police forces affiliated with the regime to remain in
Speaker 1: the province and coordinate with local Dreuze security elements. A
Speaker 1: mechanism was also established to regulate possession of heavy weapons,
Speaker 1: aimed at ending their use outside of official state frameworks.
Speaker 1: Coordination with religious and community leaders was emphasised, with sensitivity
Speaker 1: to the social and historical context of the Druze majority province.
Speaker 1: The ceasefire followed reports of atrocities during the fighting, including
Speaker 1: summary executions of civilians by regime forces and allied Bedouin militias,
Speaker 1: public humiliation of Druze religious leaders, the looting and burning
Speaker 1: of homes. A Commission of inquiry is to be established
Speaker 1: to investigate these incidents. Sheik Hickmat al Hidri, the community's
Speaker 1: top spiritual authority in Syria, rejected the agreement outright, calling
Speaker 1: to continue the struggle until Swider is liberated. He said
Speaker 1: there could be no negotiation with the armed gangs calling
Speaker 1: themselves the government, and warned that anyone deviating from the
Speaker 1: unified community position would be held accountable. A prominent local
Speaker 1: Drew's militia, the Men of Dignity movement, also opposed the
Speaker 1: deal and demanded a full withdrawal of all regime forces.
Speaker 1: After the martyrdom of our best leaders and fighters. The
Speaker 1: movement will defend itself until the last fight are able
Speaker 1: to carry a weapon unless the invaders retreat from all
Speaker 1: villages and towns, the group said. Reports of Wednesday evenings
Speaker 1: withdrawal came shortly after the U. S State Department called
Speaker 1: on President Armored al Shara's regime to pull its TAS
Speaker 1: forces out of Swider to allow all parties to de
Speaker 1: escalate tensions. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed shortly afterward
Speaker 1: that an agreement had been reached, which he said could
Speaker 1: bring the crisis to an end as early as tonight.
Speaker 1: The agreement includes specific steps required from all sides, he said.
Speaker 1: This will require all parties to deliver on the commitments
Speaker 1: they have made, and this is what we fully expect
Speaker 1: them to do. A comment likely referring also to an
Speaker 1: end to Israeli air stripes control over Swieder remains a
Speaker 1: central issue in the ongoing tensions. The province is home
Speaker 1: to Syria's largest Sdreuze community, numbering about seven hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: and has long feared persecution under the Al Shara regime,
Speaker 1: which has been accused of seeking to return the Dreuz
Speaker 1: to pure Islam and dismantle their traditional way of life.
Speaker 1: In April, violent clashes erupted between Drews fighters and regime forces,
Speaker 1: resulting in more than one hundred deaths. That round of
Speaker 1: fighting ended with a ceasefire in May, and since then
Speaker 1: Drew's forces had maintained security control in the province. The
Speaker 1: latest round of fighting has so far claimed more than
Speaker 1: three hundred lives. According to the UK based Syrian Observatory
Speaker 1: for Human Rights, That figure includes sixty nine Druze fighters
Speaker 1: and forty Druze civilians, twenty seven of whom were reportedly executed.
Speaker 1: It also includes one hundred and sixty five regime soldiers
Speaker 1: and eighteen Bedowin militia members. The violence began late last
Speaker 1: week after Bedowin gunmen robbed a young Druze man from Swider.
Speaker 1: In response, local residents detained several members of Bedouin tribes,
Speaker 1: escalating tensions. On Tuesday, as fighting continued, Al Shara's forces
Speaker 1: entered the provincial capital, claiming they aimed to restore order,
Speaker 1: but according to reports, they joined in the clashes and
Speaker 1: were involved in attacks against the Druze population. Dru's leaders
Speaker 1: appealed to the international community, describing the situation as a
Speaker 1: campaign of extermination. Israel responded with a series of intensified
Speaker 1: air strikes aimed at forcing Syrian forces out of Swider.
Speaker 1: Among the targets was the Syrian military headquarters in Damascus,
Speaker 1: hit in a strike broadcast live on Syrian television, killing five.
Speaker 1: A military site near al Shara's presidential palace was also struck,
Speaker 1: and an Israeli military source told reut As the attack
Speaker 1: was a direct message to the regime. Israel will not
Speaker 1: allow a military build up on its border with southern Syria,
Speaker 1: and it will not allow the massacre of drus in Syria,
Speaker 1: the official said. We have reported that the Israel Prime
Speaker 1: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has commended and praised the efforts of
Speaker 1: personnel at the Israel Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations,
Speaker 1: known in Hebrew word as Mossad over the fall of
Speaker 1: Bishah al Assad regime in Syria early December twenty two,
Speaker 1: twenty four, apparently corroborating the statement issued by the Iran
Speaker 1: Supreme Leader Ayatolla Kamene in late December twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: that the fall of President al assad regime was a
Speaker 1: plan orchestrated by Israel and the United States US under
Speaker 1: the leadership of then President Joe Biden. This Israel Prime
Speaker 1: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the sixty eighth Session of the
Speaker 1: United Nations General Assembly on October first, twenty thirteen, said
Speaker 1: that Iran directly participated in Assad's murder and massacre of
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Syria,
Speaker 1: used chemical weapons against its own people, and in twenty ten,
Speaker 1: the ousted Syrian president Bushah al Assad had accused Israel
Speaker 1: of avoiding peace, and Syrian Foreign Minister will Lead Nuelm
Speaker 1: warned that in the event of a future war, Israeli
Speaker 1: cities would be targeted by Syrian missiles, an action Israel
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who believed to be the underground
Speaker 1: work of Iran Supreme leader Iatole Kamenee. He had accused
Speaker 1: severally of being the root cause of war in the
Speaker 1: Middle East, specifically stating at the sixty eighth session of
Speaker 1: the u N Assembly that some two thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: years ago, the great Persian King Cyrus ended the Babylonian
Speaker 1: exile of the Jewish people. He issued a famous edict
Speaker 1: in which he proclaimed the right of the Jews to
Speaker 1: return to the land of Israel and rebuild the Jewish
Speaker 1: Temple in Jerusalem. That's a Persian decree, and thus began
Speaker 1: an historic friendship between the Jews and the Persians that
Speaker 1: lasted until modern times. But in nineteen seventy nine, a
Speaker 1: radical regime in Tehran tried to stamp out that friendship.
Speaker 1: As it was busy crushing the Iranian people's hope for democracy.
Speaker 1: It always led wild chants of death of the Jews. Now,
Speaker 1: since that time, presidents of Iran have come and gone.
Speaker 1: Some presidents were considered moderates, other hard liners. They've all
Speaker 1: served that same unforgiving creed, that same unforgiving regime, that
Speaker 1: creed that is espoused and enforced by the real power
Speaker 1: in Iran, the dictator known as the Supreme Leader, first
Speaker 1: Iletola Homeni and now Aatolicum and AE. We had reported
Speaker 1: that in April twenty twenty five, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 1: Netanyahu traveled to the United States US and held meetings
Speaker 1: with President Donald Trump, only returned from the official trip
Speaker 1: and intensify more aggressive military campaigns in Gaza and staged
Speaker 1: a military confrontation with Iran which led to the killing
Speaker 1: of almost one thousand Iranians in a twelve day war
Speaker 1: with the Islamic country. This on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 1: Netanyahu told his cabinet members that he will travel to
Speaker 1: the US next week to hold very important security meetings
Speaker 1: with President Donald Trump and the U S lawmakers, amongst others,
Speaker 1: while specifically telling the cabinet members that the details of
Speaker 1: the scheduled meetings are things he cannot reveal. At the briefing,
Speaker 1: we had reported that the United States US President Donald
