Khaberni -Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pledged not to "leave Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shara alone," refusing the partition of Syria, and describing its recovery as beneficial to Turkey.
"Al-Shara took a positive step by understanding with the Druze"
Erdoğan praised "Al-Shara for his firm stance and his intolerance in the confrontation between Syria and Israel," noting that he took a "very positive" step by reaching an understanding with the Druze.
Erdoğan said, "President Al-Shara has taken a firm stance on recent events in his country and has made no concessions."
In statements to Turkish media, he said that the Syrian government "somewhat extended its control to Sweida and the south of the country with about 2500 soldiers, as all but one Druze faction agreed to respect the ceasefire during talks in the Jordanian capital Amman" according to him.
"Israel tries to hinder stability in Syria"
The Turkish president indicated that "Israel continues its provocations, does not want stability in the region, and believes that a united Syria would not be in its interest."
He affirmed that "it is necessary to explain well to the world that Israel is working to hinder the stability project in Syria."
He explained that the United States has now realized that it needs to "control" the issue more substantially, warning that the main issue is the use of "Israel" for the clashes as a pretext for invading Syrian territory.
The "Israeli army" attacked the headquarters of the General Staff in the Syrian capital Damascus in several raids last Wednesday, targeting military vehicles belonging to the Syrian government forces in the city of Sweida and its surroundings. Hours after this bombing, Israeli occupation aircraft renewed their aggression on Syria, targeting locations in the cities of rural Damascus, Daraa, and Sweida.
