The new Syrian administration's problems continue to increase as whilst Netanyahu's Israel continues attacks, another border dispute begins.Right, so matters appear to be going from bad to worse for the relatively friendless Syrian HTS led administration of Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, with Israel making further incursions to seize more Syrian territory and continuing to blow up more Syrian targets they’ve deemed a threat, one of the latest examples of which elicited much oohing and aahing in the mainstream media as a mushroom cloud appeared above a large arms stockpile and Syrian airbase, all in an inhabited area of course.Where Israel continues to attack Syria while al-Jolani continues to profess that he is their ally, others he has sworn are not his allies are treating him in exactly the same way and although most surrounding Arab nations have not overtly stated that they’re going to attack Syria now their ally Assad has fallen, one has, in no uncertain terms stated that they consider the new Syria to be a hostile threat and if they come too close, they can expect a pre-emptive strike. Has Syria just become yet another pariah state in the Middle East and actually should we be surprised at the reaction they are getting when Israel can never be trusted, especially under Netanyahu’s rule, and when everyone else sees this new administration for the Al Qaeda cast offs and leftovers they really are, why would they choose to have diplomatic relations with them at all?Right, so while Israel is almost certainly the biggest headache facing the new Syrian government, interim as it allegedly is pending new elections, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, the cabal of Al-Qaeda and ISIS leftovers that this group ostensibly is have a big problem with another nation too, or potentially do if they don’t basically stay the hell away. Here's a translation of a televised statement issued by one of their commanders spelling out the problems on a second front al-Julani’s setup in Syria now have:‘The United States have allocated $10 million to Abu Muhammad Al-Julani and he is now the leader of what is called the response to aggression, the opposition and others. These are murderous terrorists. Wait for the coming days and listen to me. To our people in Syria and to the clans in Syria. If they don’t slaughter them one by one, let them blame me. We went through this situation in 2014 and this is what happened to us. This is what happened to us and they slaughtered and killed people, committing the most heinous crimes against the Iraqi people. If they gather in one place and have the idea of advancing towards Iraq. We will not hesitate for a moment to target them before they arrive…in any place we see. If they have the intention of approaching Iraq, we will not let them advance, not even for a minute.’That was, as you’ve probably now surmised, the response being given by Iraq, the person speaking those words being Iraq’s Major General Yahya Rasool threatening preemptive strikes to stop any attempted Al-Qaeda insurgency because that is after all, who is now in charge in Syria.
