Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is once again under fire after controversial remarks about a “shared enemy” between Syria and Israel sparked a wave of criticism and speculation across the Arab world about the future of relations between the two countries.
When asked about the future of Syrian-Israeli relations, al-Sharaa said “The era of endless tit-for-tat bombings must end. No nation prospers when its skies are filled with fear. The reality is, we have common enemies – and we can play a major role in regional security.”
His comments struck a chord with some, while fueling controversy and debate throughout the region. A Palestinian social media activist residing in France, Mais al-Qinawie wrote on X that al-Sharaa’s statements can only be understood in the context of “preparing for a war on Lebanon – one in which his [al-Sharaa’s] forces would serve as ground partners to the Israeli army.”
In a separate post, he wrote, “I’ve never heard of a head of state – Muslim or not – speak so warmly and conciliatory about a country that occupies his land, violates his sovereignty, and bombs his infrastructure. It’s not just bizarre; it’s downright repulsive.”
“Leader under immense pressure in a state that isn’t even fully formed or stable offers conciliatory language to an encroaching aggressor who is an order of magnitude more prepared for military action”
Syria, currently, has no firm allies. Giving verbal asspats to Israel in the hopes of avoiding their focus in the near-future despite its horrendous imperialist behavior is probably one of the less-bad options at present, unfortunately.
His current comment proves that he seeks no peace with Iran. Instead he wants to team up with Israel and America to fight Lebanon and Iran.
Jolani has the backing of America, Israel, Turkey and the entire Gulf. Which are pushing Syria to become an American puppet state.
In fact the Syrian rebels had Syrian and Israeli backing before they overthrew Assad.
Jolani has the backing of Turkey and the entire Gulf.
Al-Sharaa is in talks with Turkiye and has tepid support from some of the Gulf States.
Which are pushing Syria to become an American puppet state.
Lord.
In fact the Syrian rebels had Syrian and Israeli backing before they overthrew Assad.
Okay?
EDIT TO ADDRESS THE OP’S EDIT:
His current comment proves that he seeks no peace with Iran. Instead he wants to team up with Israel and America to right Lebanon and Iran.
Golly gee, I wonder why he might regard Iran, one of the strongest supporters of Assad and the sectarian, genocidal aspect of the Syrian Civil War, having deployed literal tens-of-thousands of troops to Syrian soil for over a decade, and is still operating in Syria to destabilize the government through Assadist insurgents, as an enemy?
Yes didn’t he say iran and israel are our biggest enemy?
“No you see, he is openly telling everyone that he wants to fight Iran with Israel’s help because… He is looking for allies!”
“No you see, he is openly telling everyone that he wants to fight Iran with Israel’s help because… He is looking for allies!”
Yes, Syria is looking for allies. I don’t know why you think that Iran isn’t one of the threats towards Syria, considering their atrocious behavior in the Syrian Civil War and their current support of genocidal Assadist militias. I guess sectarian genocide is okay as long as it’s The Axis Of Resistance, right?
Israel is literally bombing Syria and annexxing beyond the Golan Heights
Hey let’s team up with Israel, which is doing a literal genocide and says they want to invade Syria next, to attack Iran!
So smart. Instead of teaming up with Iran to stop the genocidal ethnostate actively doing Lebensraum expansion on their land, they should team up with the guys annexxing their land!
It’s like if Ukraine would team up with Putin which is actively invading them, to fight Germany.

They do share an enemy: Israel.
Israel has heavily supported Jolani in Syria to overthrow Assad. They have been his allies all along.
Former Israeli Mossad Chief Halevy on giving medical treatment to al Qaeda in Syria:
Q: Is it true that Israel is helping wounded Al-Qaeda fighters?
“It’s always useful to deal with your enemies in a humane way.”
Q: “Would you also treat Hezbollah fighters?”
“No”
Jolani is desperate to become a puppet of the Western Empire. He wants to be the next Mahmoud Abbas.
Perhaps he thinks that this is the diplomatic card he has to play at this juncture, until Syria redevelops to a point where it can fend off Israel’s bombs.
Wasnt the Syrian coup directly supported be the US? Only makes sense that they do the bidding of their benefactor…
the Syrian coup
…
Maybe not the right word. “Regime change” maybe?
The use of an euphemism doesn’t really change what happened. The previous regime fell and a new one was installed in its place.
No he is just another collaborator and traitor

Terrible low effort trolling
All signs indicate that the new Syrian dictator is an American-Israeli-backed agent who overthrew the Assad regime with the help of the US, Israel and Turkey.
