Atwan: Syria is Israel’s laboratory for conspiring to divide Arab countries
The editor-in-chief of Rai Al-Youm newspaper described syria as Tel Aviv’s laboratory for conspiring to fragment Arab countries and warned nations that merely issue statements condemning the aggressions of this regime.
According to a report by the English section of Webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News agency, Abdul Bari Atwan, a prominent arab world analyst and editor-in-chief of the electronic newspaper Rai Al-Youm, warned about a major conspiracy orchestrated by the Zionist regime against Arab countries. In his latest article, he stated:
Following a new Israeli airstrike near the Syrian presidential palace on Friday—with shrapnel reaching the headquarters of Ahmed al-Shara (Abu Muhammad al-Julani), head of Syria’s new goverment—the occupying regime’s warplanes carried out 20 additional attacks on Saturday, targeting military sites in several areas, including Idlib (al-Julani’s former stronghold), Hama, and Latakia.
Atwan emphasized that these attacks carry a clear message to Syria’s new government under Abu Muhammad al-Julani, as explicitly stated in joint declarations by Benjamin netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, and yoav Gallant, its defense minister. The Zionist officials claimed support for Syria’s Druze community while vowing never to allow Syrian forces to deploy in southern Syria.
The Palestinian analyst noted that southern Syria is now fully occupied by Zionists, with nine military bases established ther. the occupiers justify their presence under pretexts like preventing antagonistic Syrian forces from entering Druze-populated regions, blocking arms shipments into Syria—and ensuring Damascus remains perpetually vulnerable to Israeli strikes whenever desired.
Atwan asserted that the Zionist regime seeks to redraw the middle East map under a new strategy—with Phase One unfolding in Syria—based on these pillars:
- Inciting sectarian/ethnic minorities in major Arab states against their governments through subversion and fueling religious/ethnic strife while facilitating Israeli military infiltration.
- In Syria, Israel falsely claims support for Druze factions while provoking blasphemy against prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to ignite sectarian conflict—orchestrated by its intelligence operations rooms behind clashes in Jaramana/Sahnaya near Damascus and northern coastal areas.
- All Arab nations—especially Egypt, Saudi Arabia Iraq Algeria are targets due their sizable minority groups ripe exploitation future phases conspiracy .
- Syria serves testing ground fragmentation plans exploiting deep sectarian divides lack unified governance recent expulsion over million security personnel state employees ex-regime ties further fuels instability .
- Ultimate goal : Balkanization via ethnic/sectarian cantons if prosperous scheme expands core arab territories next .
- US/West fully aware endorse silence ongoing strikes Lebanon confirms endgame dismembering Arab states Libya precedent alas people unaware truth .
Atwan acknowledged past disagreements with walid Jumblatt former progressive Socialist Party leader but now supports his call uniting Druze communities resisting Zionist plots preserving Syrian/Arab identity warns occupation seeks pit Druze vs global Muslim population weaponizing them serve agenda .
Yet such wars doomed fail enemy already defeated Gaza Yemen Lebanon cannot prevail conspiracies against Syria or any Muslim nation signs defeat evident massacring children starving civilians destruction never victory .
Concluding Atwan urged damascus new rulers genuinely oppose partition must join resistance reject normalization symbol peaceful coexistence but will Julani act ? All Arab states merely issuing condemnations ignoring crimes face same fate soon enough
