Israel urges action to protect Syria’s Kurds
WASHINGTON —
Israeli government officials have intensified calls to protect Syria’s Kurds as they face armed groups backed by Turkey following the sudden collapse of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime
Now, an operation led by Turkish-backed factions is aimed at dislodging Kurdish forces from parts of Aleppo province, including the town of Manbij.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, have been a major U.S. partner in the fight against the Islamic State terror group.
Since the US has been and is behind ISIS including in it’s most recent incarnation HTS, and is also behind the so called SDF, actually, the PKK/YPG, would you think there has been any symbiosis between the two groups?
Symbiosis -a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups
I definitely do!
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Monday that Turkish-backed attacks on Syria’s Kurds must be stopped.
“It’s a commitment of the international community towards those who fought bravely against ISIS,” Sa’ar said during a press briefing in Jerusalem. “It’s also a commitment for the future of Syria, because the Kurds are a stabilizing force in this country.”
The top Israeli diplomat said they were discussing this issue with the United States and other countries.
Since the ouster of the Assad regime, the Israeli military said it has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria.
Israel has also deployed ground troops beyond a demilitarized buffer zone between the two countries. Israeli officials described these measures as temporary, pending a resolution of the political situation in Syria.
This is not temporary for Israel-
