The Islamist threat to the Golan Israel has traditionally viewed the fragmentation of southern Syria as a chaotic threat to be contained. But the alternative - a unified south under the thumb of Sharaa's rebranded Islamists - is far worse. Damascus's stated goal of deploying state security to the Jordanian border is a Trojan horse. While the international community (including US envoy Tom Barrack) views this as a necessary step to stop the rampant Captagon smuggling left over from the previous regime, the reality is darker. Deploying Sharaa's forces to Sweida is a territorial conquest designed to subjugate a fierce minority population and box in the IDF. If Sharaa establishes full sovereignty over Sweida, the Golan Heights will face a unified, hostile, and deeply entrenched Islamist front. A government born from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) cannot be trusted to police the border with Israel; it will inevitably provide sanctuary and state-sanctioned cover to radical Sunni actors and ISIS remnants operating in the Badia desert.

Israel must stop Damascus from absorbing #Sweida: Damascus under interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is quietly trying to absorb southern Syria. Israel’s best defense against this creeping Islamist state is to ensure it fails. www.jpost.com/opinion/arti... #Islamism #Syria #Lebanon
