Saudi Arabia told US that Syrian forces should deploy to Sweida despite Israeli objections, source says

'During the sectarian clashes in May, Israel carried out strikes near the presidential palace in Damascus, saying it was a warning against attacks on the Druze.

(You don't expect to find the truth hiding in a nugget in the BBC but, there it is in black and white. Israel and the U.S. and our proxy president in Syria are happy to use terrorists (like ISIS before them) to drive the Druze out of the area in southern Syria so Israel can steal it outright like the Kurds did in eastern Syria.)

(Glorious Israel gave the leader of Syria an order to not deploy troops to Sweida and let the terrorists do their jobs clearing out the place making ready for the new Jewish residents. He sent them anyway... Glorious Israel attacked. And Daniela Weiss says Israel is not trying to steal land. Yeah right.)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu then ordered Syria's government not to deploy troops south. When President Ahmed al-Sharaa did, Israel launched strikes on Syrian military convoys.

On Wednesday, Israel bombed the Syrian defence ministry and areas near the presidential palace...
