Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accompanied by Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, appeared in the Mount Hermon area in occupied Syrian territories. This provocative move sparked widespread Arab condemnations, including from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and Egypt, which regarded it as a blatant violation of Syria's sovereignty. Analyses suggest that this visit comes as part of Netanyahu's efforts to improve his electoral image ahead of the Knesset elections, amid potential gains by the opposition and a decline in his government's popularity. He aims to present himself as an Israeli defensive hero despite the weak results of recent military operations and increasing international isolation. Meanwhile, Damascus maintains its stance supporting diplomacy and international efforts, preparing to confront Israeli escalation by building up its military capabilities and strengthening international alliances.
