    ‘Syria will not engage in conflict with Israel’: HTS chief breaks silence on Israeli assaults from Iranian press:

    Syria’s de-facto new ruler has broken his silence on the Israeli regime’s ongoing assaults on the Arab nation since President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown, saying that Damascus “will not engage” in a conflict with Tel Aviv.

    “We are not about to engage in a conflict with Israel,” Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Ahmed al-Sharaa said on Syrian TV on Saturday, citing the country’s “weakened state” as the reason.

    It’s already very clear that HTS listens to what the US tells them.
