Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel intends to remain in the buffer zone in southern Syria and will not withdraw. He added that his government hopes to reach an agreement for the disarmament of southern Syria but considers the Israeli presence there necessary.

Netanyahu made the remarks during a meeting with several Israeli ambassadors, according to reports via the Associated Press, justifying Israel’s presence as a matter of “national security interest.”
Earlier, Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shar’a accused Israel of “exporting crises” to other countries, claiming that it “fights phantoms and provokes conflicts to assert its presence in the region.”
Israel continues its aggressive policies and violations of the 1974 disengagement agreement by advancing into southern Syria and attacking civilians through raids, arbitrary arrests, forced displacement, destruction of property, and plowing of agricultural lands.
Syria continues to demand the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from its territory, emphasizing that all Israeli actions in southern Syria are invalid and have no legal effect under international law. Syria calls on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities, deter Israeli practices, and ensure full compliance with the 1974 disengagement agreement.
