Netanyahu Warns Syrian Leader on Bombing
Israeli media outlets revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Syrian President Ahmed al-Shir in a telephone call in July 2025, warning of intensified strikes on Syria. He demanded the withdrawal of Syrian forces from the Suwayda Governorate within 48 hours, with threats of escalating military operations if there was no compliance. Netanyahu confirmed that Israel would continue its attacks on targets in Damascus, after al-Shir responded by requesting a deadline. However, Netanyahu refused and made the withdrawal of forces a precondition. These communications coincided with an escalation of Israeli operations against Syria, while Damascus rejected any political exploitation of the Druze issue, considering that Israel is working to destabilize Suwayda by supporting armed groups to justify military intervention.
