The 'demographic development' plan to increase settler numbers only applies to the area of the Golan Heights that Israel seized during the Six Day War in 1967 and later annexed in 1981 and not to territory taken since al-Assad's ouster.

Jolani Offers Putin a Chance to Rebuild Ties with Syria; First Direct, Shocking Message to Moscow

In a groundbreaking move, Abu Mohammed al-Julani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has sent his first direct message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, offering an opportunity to rebuild diplomatic ties between Syria and Russia. In an interview, Julani emphasized that Syria's new leadership, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government, is keen to avoid provoking Moscow. He suggested that both sides could establish a cooperative relationship if Russia seeks mutual benefits. This message comes after a swift offensive led by HTS militants, which toppled Assad's regime in December, and amid ongoing negotiations between Russian diplomats and Syrian militants to secure Russia's military presence in the region. Julani's remarks indicate a potential shift in Syria's foreign policy, offering Russia a chance to reassess its role in the country under new leadership. #JolaniToPutin #SyriaRussiaRelations #HTSMessage #SyriaRussiaCooperation #JulaniDirectMessage #RebuildSyriaRussiaTies #SyriaLeadershipShift #PutinSyriaTalks #SyriaNewLeadership #PutinSyriaReassessment #JolaniRussiaDiplomacy #SyriaFuture #RussianDiplomaticMove #SyriaTransition #PutinSyriaOpportunities ~HT.97~GR.125~PR.152~ED.346~
