The truth can no longer be buried beneath the rubble of Syria’s war-torn lands! A sinister, hidden plan is unfolding, orchestrated by shadowy forces to carve up Syria and hand its heart to Israel. While the world watches in silence, the interim government under Ahmed al-Sharaa is either complicit or powerless as Israel’s relentless ambition threatens to dismantle Syria’s sovereignty. This is not mere speculation—it’s a calculated assault on a nation already battered by years of conflict.

Plan to Divide Syria:

The idea of dividing Syria into zones of influence is not new, but it has gained traction since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024. With the rise of Ahmed al-Sharaa, leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), as Syria’s interim president, the country faces a delicate transition period. The hypothesis suggests that regional powers, particularly Israel and Turkey, are seeking to establish control over specific regions of Syria to secure their strategic interests until a stable government emerges. This could involve demilitarized zones, foreign military presence, or even territorial concessions, such as ceding parts of the Golan Heights to Israel.

Some sources, including posts on X, have claimed that al-Sharaa may have engaged in secret talks with Israel, potentially agreeing to cede the Golan Heights in exchange for support to maintain his rule. For instance, a post on X from July 2025 suggested that al-Sharaa met with Israel’s National Security Advisor in Abu Dhabi, agreeing to establish demilitarized zones in southern Syria (Daraa, Quneitra, and Sweida) and relinquish claims to the Golan Heights. However, these claims remain unverified and are considered speculative, as no official confirmation from the Syrian government or Israel has been made public.

The Syrian government, under al-Sharaa, has publicly emphasized its commitment to national unity and territorial integrity. In a televised speech on July 17, 2025, al-Sharaa accused Israel of attempting to “dismantle the unity of our people” and vowed to protect Syria’s sovereignty. This suggests that any agreement to divide Syria would face significant domestic and regional resistance. The hypothesis of a division plan could stem from Israel’s military actions, Turkey’s growing influence, and the United States’ diplomatic engagement, but the Syrian government’s official stance remains one of rejecting foreign interference.

The Covert Scheme to Hand Syria to Israel:

The fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024 opened the door to a treacherous plot. Whispers from the corridors of power reveal that Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria’s so-called transitional leader, has secretly colluded with Israel. Reports from trusted sources suggest a clandestine meeting in Abu Dhabi, where al-Sharaa allegedly agreed to surrender the Golan Heights and establish demilitarized zones in Daraa, Quneitra, and Sweida—gifts wrapped for Israel’s expansionist appetite. This is no peace deal; it’s a surrender disguised as diplomacy! The Syrian people must awaken to this betrayal, for their land is being traded for the illusion of stability under Israel’s iron fist.

Al-Sharaa’s public denials are hollow. His televised promises to protect Syria’s unity ring false when his forces retreat from southern borders, paving the way for Israeli dominance. The evidence is clear: Israel’s airstrikes on Damascus and the Presidential Palace are not random acts of aggression but deliberate moves to enforce this division. The Syrian government’s silence on these concessions is deafening—proof of a deal struck in the shadows to appease the Zionist agenda!

Why Has the Syrian Army Evacuated Areas Adjacent to Israel?

The Syrian army’s evacuation from areas adjacent to Israel, particularly in the southern provinces of Sweida, Daraa, and Quneitra, has been a focal point of recent discussions. Several possibilities explain this withdrawal, which occurred amid clashes and Israeli airstrikes in July 2025:

Response to Israeli Military Pressure: Israel has conducted extensive airstrikes on Syrian military targets, including the General Staff headquarters in Damascus and sites near the Presidential Palace, citing the need to enforce a demilitarized zone south of Damascus. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Syria violated the 1974 ceasefire agreement by deploying forces in this area and targeting Druze communities. The Syrian army’s withdrawal from Sweida, completed by July 17, 2025, may have been a direct response to Israel’s military actions, which included strikes on Syrian tanks and troops. The threat of further Israeli intervention likely pressured the Syrian government to pull back to avoid escalation.

Ceasefire Agreements with Druze Factions: The clashes in Sweida between Syrian government forces, Druze fighters, and Bedouin tribes, which began on July 13, 2025, resulted in significant casualties (at least 374 reported deaths). Following intense fighting, a ceasefire was announced on July 16, facilitated by U.S., Arab, and Turkish mediation. The Syrian army’s evacuation was part of this agreement, which included the withdrawal of government forces to their barracks and the reintegration of Sweida into state control. The Syrian presidency acknowledged “violations” by its forces during these operations, suggesting internal pressures to de-escalate and avoid further alienating the Druze community.

Strategic Retreat to Avoid Conflict: Syria’s interim government, led by al-Sharaa, has repeatedly stated that it is not in a position to engage in a new war after 14 years of civil conflict. The evacuation could be a strategic retreat to prevent direct confrontation with Israel, which has reinforced its presence in the Golan Heights and the UN-monitored buffer zone. By withdrawing, the Syrian army may be signaling compliance with Israel’s demand for demilitarization in the south to avoid further strikes and preserve its limited military resources.

Internal Instability and Overextension: The Syrian army, weakened by years of war, faces challenges in maintaining control over restive regions like Sweida, where local Druze militias operate with a degree of autonomy. The government’s deployment to Sweida to quell fighting between Druze and Bedouin groups backfired, escalating into broader clashes. With al-Sharaa struggling to consolidate power, the evacuation may reflect a prioritization of stabilizing other regions over maintaining a presence in volatile southern areas near Israel.

Which Areas of Syria, Including the Golan, Have Been Given to Israel?

The question of whether any Syrian territory, including the Golan Heights, has been ceded to Israel remains speculative and contentious. Here are the key points and possibilities:

The Golan Heights: Israel has occupied most of the Golan Heights since the 1967 Six-Day War, and the 1974 ceasefire agreement established a UN-monitored buffer zone (the Purple Line) to separate Israeli and Syrian forces. Recent posts on X claim that al-Sharaa agreed to cede the Golan Heights to Israel during secret talks in Abu Dhabi, in exchange for support for his regime. These claims suggest that three demilitarized zones (Daraa, Quneitra, and Sweida) would be established in southern Syria. However, these reports lack official confirmation and are considered inconclusive. Al-Sharaa has publicly stated that Syria remains committed to the 1974 agreement and does not seek conflict with Israel, suggesting no formal concession of the Golan.

Demilitarized Zones in Southern Syria: Israel has demanded the demilitarization of southern Syria, specifically the governorates of Quneitra, Daraa, and Sweida, to prevent threats near its border. Following the July 2025 clashes in Sweida, Israel reinforced its presence in the Golan Heights and conducted airstrikes to enforce this demand. The Syrian army’s withdrawal from Sweida aligns with this demand, but there is no evidence that these areas have been formally “given” to Israel. Instead, they may be part of a temporary demilitarized arrangement facilitated by ceasefire agreements.

Israeli Control of the Buffer Zone: Since December 2024, Israel has taken control of the UN-monitored demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights, citing security concerns after the fall of Assad’s regime. This move has been condemned by Syria and the international community as a violation of the 1974 agreement. While Israel claims this is a temporary measure to secure its borders, it has fueled speculation about territorial expansion.

No Formal Cession: Despite rumors, there is no verified evidence that the Syrian government has formally ceded any territory to Israel. Al-Sharaa’s public statements emphasize protecting Syria’s sovereignty and rejecting foreign interference. Any agreement to cede territory would face significant domestic opposition, as Syrians largely oppose giving up the Golan Heights. Secret negotiations, if they occurred, would likely involve non-aggression pacts or demilitarization rather than outright territorial concessions.

Why the Syrian Army Retreats: A Sellout to Israel

The Syrian army’s evacuation from areas adjacent to Israel is no tactical retreat—it’s a shameful capitulation! Israel’s relentless airstrikes, targeting military headquarters and tanks, have forced Syrian forces out of Sweida, Daraa, and Quneitra. Why? Because al-Sharaa has bowed to Israeli demands for a demilitarized south, a buffer zone to secure Israel’s illegal occupation. The ceasefire with Druze factions, brokered with foreign meddling, is a smokescreen to justify this withdrawal. Over 374 lives lost in recent clashes, and for what? To clear the path for Israel’s territorial greed!

This retreat exposes the truth: the Syrian army, once a symbol of resistance, has been undermined by a leadership too weak or too corrupt to stand against Israel. The violations acknowledged by the presidency are not mere mistakes—they are deliberate steps to appease the enemy. Syria’s warriors are being sacrificed to serve Israel’s expansion, and the people must rise to reclaim their honor!

The Golan Heights and Beyond: Israel’s Stolen Prize

The Golan Heights, Syria’s stolen jewel, is the centerpiece of this nefarious plan. Since 1967, Israel has clung to this land, and now, with al-Sharaa’s alleged consent, it seeks to make the occupation permanent. The demilitarized zones in southern Syria are not neutral territories—they are stepping stones for Israel to annex more land, from Quneitra to Sweida. Israel’s control of the UN buffer zone, a flagrant violation of the 1974 agreement, is the first step in this land grab. The world must see this for what it is: a Zionist conquest under the guise of security!

Rumors of secret talks may lack official stamps, but the actions speak louder. Israel’s reinforced presence in the Golan and its strikes on Syrian targets are bold declarations of ownership. The Syrian people will not forget—nor forgive—this theft of their heritage. The Golan is Syria’s, and no puppet leader can erase that truth!

Why Doesn’t Turkey Want It?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been vocal in his opposition to any plan that could lead to the “disintegration of Syria,” as evidenced by his July 17, 2025, speech in Ankara, where he condemned Israel’s strikes and vowed to defend Syria’s territorial integrity. Turkey’s concerns stem from a combination of strategic, political, and ideological factors:

Preserving Syrian Territorial Integrity: Turkey has long prioritized Syria’s unity and stability, viewing it as essential to its own security. Erdogan’s statement, “We did not consent to the disintegration of Syria yesterday, today, and tomorrow,” reflects Turkey’s fear that dividing Syria into spheres of influence could destabilize the region further. A fragmented Syria could embolden separatist movements, particularly among the Kurds in northeastern Syria, which Turkey sees as a threat due to their links to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Countering Israeli Influence: Turkey perceives Israel’s actions, such as airstrikes and the occupation of the Golan buffer zone, as attempts to expand influence in southern Syria. Erdogan accused Israel of using the Druze as an excuse to “expand its banditry” and destabilize Syria. Turkey fears that Israeli control over southern Syria, including the Golan Heights, could create a permanent Israeli presence, undermining Turkey’s influence in the region. This is particularly concerning given Turkey’s support for HTS and its role in backing the Syrian opposition that toppled Assad.

Preventing a Kurdish Corridor: Erdogan’s reference to “those who dream of opening a corridor between the south and the north” likely alludes to fears of a Kurdish-controlled region connecting northeastern Syria to the south, potentially facilitated by Israel or the U.S. Turkey has historically opposed Kurdish autonomy in Syria, viewing it as a security threat. A divided Syria could enable the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to consolidate power, which Turkey seeks to prevent through its military presence in northern Syria.

Regional Power Dynamics: Turkey aspires to be a dominant regional power and sees Syria as a key arena for asserting influence. A division of Syria that grants Israel control over southern areas or allows other foreign powers (e.g., the U.S. or Russia) to establish zones of influence could marginalize Turkey’s role. Erdogan’s close ties with al-Sharaa, evidenced by their February 2025 meeting in Ankara, indicate Turkey’s intent to shape Syria’s future. Any plan that excludes or limits Turkey’s influence is seen as a threat to its regional ambitions.

Domestic and Ideological Considerations: Erdogan’s condemnation of Israel as a “terrorist state” aligns with his domestic political strategy of appealing to anti-Israel sentiment among his base. His support for Hamas and criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and Syria bolster his image as a defender of Muslim causes. Allowing Syria to be divided, particularly with Israeli involvement, would undermine this narrative and weaken Turkey’s position as a regional advocate for sovereignty and unity.

Broader Implications and Regional Reactions

The potential division of Syria has drawn widespread international attention. The United States, while distancing itself from Israel’s airstrikes, has called for de-escalation and diplomatic engagement to address the crisis. A joint statement by 12 Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, reaffirmed support for Syria’s sovereignty and welcomed the Sweida ceasefire. The Arab League and Egypt have condemned Israel’s actions as violations of international law.

Russia, a former ally of the Assad regime, has been relatively silent but maintains a hotline with Israel to avoid clashes. The UN Security Council met on July 17, 2025, to discuss the Israeli strikes, with Secretary-General António Guterres condemning the attacks. These reactions highlight the delicate balance of power in the region, with Syria caught between competing interests.
