  1. This is insane. With this stuff, the continued settlements in the West Bank, and some of the stories we’ve heard about really bad IDF conduct in Gaza+their embrace of Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan, it’s like this current Israeli government is trying its hardest to legitimize the lefty criticisms over the past year. [Bibi is also trying to keep Russian bases open in Syria and had his military secretary Roman Goffman meet with the Russian government.](https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/bklxthgsjg)

  2. This is really bad. If Netanyahu follows through on this threat, it would represent an expansion into Syria many dozens of kilometers beyond the buffer zone and Mt. Hermon, entail the occupation of land home to at absolute minimum tens of thousands of Arabs (potentially as high as 1-2 million if they decide to fully occupy Daraa and large parts of As-Suwayda and the Damascus governate), and a severe threat to Sharaa’s claim to be the legitimate defender of Syrian people’s interests.

    Really bizarre how the Druze in Israel are tokenized. Plus Israelis acting as if they have the right to speak in the name of Druze communities across the region to justify blatant crimes is utterly repulsive, that is assuming Israel’s actions in the past year weren’t considered repulsive enough for my fellow Druze.

  4. The gang that new government fought with also drove out the predominantly druze local police .

    Druze elders in the suburb supported the new government and denounced external intervention

    The biggest druze military faction from suweida ( whose also friendly with Sharaa and anti Israeli occupation) came into the town to help restore order and broker a peaceful settlement.
