That is a very important question. Until now, Ahmed al‑Sharaa has been trying to establish his position as one of benevolent neutrality. He says he wants to keep Syria from becoming involved in the conflicts in the Middle East. Despite the kind of security zone that Israel has put in place, he is suffering in silence. He says that his army was destroyed by the Israelis or by the former Syrian army. He is trying to be a kind of buffer between Turkish influence and Israeli influence.
Nevertheless, the situation is very serious. We hear a lot of rumours about Syria possibly interfering in Lebanon. Sometimes, the United States and Israel are said to want al‑Sharaa to take action against Hezbollah in Lebanon. At the moment, al‑Sharaa and the Syrian government are saying that this is not so, but information from the region does not put the rumours to rest. We cannot exclude a scenario in which Syria intervenes in Lebanon again. This time, it would be religious in nature, by which I mean a return to the inter-Islamic wars between Shia and Sunni.
One very troubling event happened yesterday. Pro-Iranian militants from Iraq bombed a Syrian army base in the northeast of Syria. It seems that American soldiers and advisers were on that base.
That is the only very troubling event that has occurred as part of the war on Iran being waged by Israel and the United States.
