DOHA, December 29. /TASS/. Damascus and Moscow are linked by strategic interests, the new Syrian authorities do not want Russia to leave the republic to the detriment of relations between the two countries. This was stated by the leader of the new Syrian authorities, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

"Syria has strategic interests with Russia," he said in an interview with the Al Arabiya TV channel. "We do not want Russia to leave in a way that is not consistent with its relations with Syria."

"Russia is the second most powerful power in the world, it is of great importance," the leader of the new Syrian authorities emphasized. "We strive to [build] balanced relations with everyone."

P.S. When did you (Ahmed al-Sharaa) suddenly realize that Israeli troops are 20 kilometers from Damascus, occupying the Golan Heights and all the rest of the territory around them (with the full connivance of the US and Turkey in this situation).

Israel needs to prepare for war with Turkey, which could unite with Syrian groups and become a threat greater than Iran, The Jerusalem Post writes. Ankara supports HTS, which came to power in Syria

Israel must be prepared for a direct confrontation with Turkey amid its desire to restore the Ottoman Empire, The Jerusalem Post writes, citing the Nagel Committee report (a commission created by the Israeli government in August 2024 to analyze the defense budget and security strategy).

The document highlights the risk that Turkey will ally itself with Syrian groups and, in particular, wage a proxy war, increasing instability in the region. “The threat from Syria could escalate into something even more dangerous than the Iranian threat,” the report says.

Against this backdrop, the committee proposed increasing Israel’s annual defense budget by 15 billion shekels ($4.1 billion) over the next five years, purchasing additional F-15 fighter jets, tanker aircraft, drones and satellites, improving the effectiveness of air defense systems and building a protective barrier along the Jordan Valley.

The report was presented to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Monday, January 6. “We are witnessing fundamental changes in the Middle East. Iran has long been our greatest threat, but new forces are entering the arena and we must be prepared for the unexpected. This report is a roadmap for securing Israel's future," Netanyahu said.
