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.”
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.

Accusing me of ignorance, arrogance, and racism, as you implore Syrians to side with the people who were literally sending troops to genocide Syrians. Sorry that you didn’t follow the Syrian Civil War at all, maybe you should read up on it before talking Syrian international politics in the immediate aftermath.
Jolani is from ISIS and Al Nusra. Ring any bells?
“Jolani is from ISIS”
Imagine being so racist that you confuse al-Sharaa’s longtime enemy with the org he served.
Do you know Al Nusra origins?
Oh, this ought to be good. Please tell me how Al-Nusra spawned from ISIS.
