Gallant after meetings in Washington: if a hostage deal is signed it will be a prelude to peace with Saudi Arabia

Rebel leader Mohammad al-Jolani said today:

"Syria will not wage a new war with Israel. The country is not ready for another war. Our biggest threat is Hezbollah and the Iranian-backed Shiite militias in Syria."

Al-Jolani's remarks come in the context of a statement yesterday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who sent a clear message to the new leadership in Syria:

"We seek relations with the new regime in Syria. But if this regime allows Iran to re-establish itself in Syria, transfer weapons to Hezbollah, or attack us, we will respond with force and exact a heavy price. What happened to the previous regime will also happen to this regime."

Al-Jolani has been trying to improve the image of his rebels since he came to power. He said:

"I no longer hold the same views as in my youth. Minorities will also have their place in a new Syria."

Can he be trusted?

The Understanding with Trump Administration: Israel Will Protect Its Interests After Deal: Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer reached an agreement with incoming U.S. President Donald Trump’s team, ensuring that Israel will maintain its interests in Gaza following a potential hostage deal, similar to the arrangements made with Lebanon. While there's optimism about serious negotiations, it is expected that a final resolution will take another two to three weeks.
