The IDF seizure of Syrian positions in the buffer zone was a “temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found”, he said.

I mean this makes sense honestly. Despite the rebel leader giving hopeful statements, at the end of the day, they are still Islamist rebels who probably don’t like Israel. Jolani might no longer be associated with his AQ past but he almost definitely has some very problematic views on Jews & Israel. I can see why Israel thinks grabbing a tiny buffer zone inside Syria will be helpful for its security.

No brainer. The deal for the land was done with Assad. This allows Israel a way to allow the rebels to save face when Israel makes a deal without giving up the golan heights.
