Israel to Stay in Buffer Zone on Syrian Border Until Security Arrangements are Made
Jerusalem – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israeli forces will remain in a buffer zone on the Syrian border, seized after the ousting of President Bashar Assad, until a new arrangement is made to ensure Israel’s security.
Netanyahu made this announcement from the summit of Mount Hermon, the highest peak in the area, which is about 10 kilometers from the border with the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights. This marks the first time a sitting Israeli leader has gone that far into Syria.
The buffer zone, a roughly 400-square-kilometer demilitarized area in Syrian territory, has been seized by Israel, sparking condemnation from critics who accuse Israel of violating a 1974 ceasefire and potentially exploiting the chaos in Syria following Assad’s ousting.
In response, Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the Israeli military to quickly establish a presence, including fortifications, in anticipation of a potential extended stay in the area.
The United Nations has condemned Israel’s advance, stating that it violates the 1974 agreement that created the buffer zone and that occupation is occupation, regardless of its duration. A UN spokesman also stressed the importance of respecting the agreement that established the buffer zone.
Israel still controls the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria during the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed, a move not recognized by most of the international community.
