Former Israeli Security Official Says Israel Cannot Stay in Syria Unilaterally; Washington Holds the Key

Former Israeli National Security Advisor Eyal Hulateh stated that maintaining Israeli forces within the buffer zone in Syria requires prior coordination with the United States. He warned that this necessitates reconsidering the concept of Israeli national security if the situation persists. He explained that Israel cannot unilaterally seize the territories of neighboring countries and that U.S. President Donald Trump's request for Israel to withdraw from Syria is part of ongoing efforts for a political settlement in the region. While Israel emphasizes the need to maintain a military presence for security reasons, Hulateh believes that withdrawing from Syria is easier than from Lebanon or Gaza, due to the absence of a direct enemy on the Syrian side.
