Today, Syria is under rational rule, as time and experience have proven. Thus, when President Ahmad Al-Sharaa said, “The relationship with Israel necessitates the return of the Golan Heights and adherence to the 1974 agreement, and no peace agreement will be discussed before the provisions of this agreement are implemented,” he neither deviated from reality nor raised false and unattainable slogans.
Syria, in particular, is located in a very sensitive geographical location. In its current political reality, it cannot be anything other than what it is, especially since those who were expelled from it dream of returning and once again controlling its people.
Meanwhile, the current regime seems to realize that any incomplete step means returning to square one, so it is dealing with the issue in a realistic manner. This is the reason why it cannot butt heads with a rock. The conditions left behind by the previous regime have left the people groaning under the burden of famine and destitution. Millions have fled to the vast lands of Allah, escaping brutality and oppression.
During the Ba’ath regime, Damascus never departed from the Arab line. Its policy was based on an absolute rejection of any solution, as was the case in Arab capitals ruled by a clique attempting to manipulate their bitter reality with rhetoric. Such cliques relied on glories that became testaments to their failures in the depths of history, rather than motivating them to build cognitive strength and engage with the world in a language they understood.
In the meantime, their enemy -- whose strength was based primarily on its own weaknesses, and secondarily, on the world’s support for them -- spoke to them in a language they understood.
In contrast, the Arabs -- who are most often quoted in proverbs -- failed to understand the meaning of the popular saying: If the circumstances are not in your favor, adapt to them. Consequently, they have rejected any opportunity to achieve Arab rights from 1948 onward. They neither accepted partition or the establishment of a Palestinian State on the lands granted to them, nor fought or built armies capable of defeating their enemy, so they are now outside the regional and international equations.
Only those who understand reality and act within their own strengths can achieve what they desire. This is what the current Syrian regime is attempting to do. It is working hard to rebuild its country anew, according to a clear equation -- the unity of Syria and its people, the healing of wounds, and the return of the displaced to the country.
Moreover, it is working hard to establish relations with the Arab world and the rest of the world based on everything that benefits the State and the people.
Without a doubt, this stems from a realistic foundation. Anyone who reads the history of Syria and the region knows that many states have risen and fallen, and that numerous empires have passed through this region and departed, while the geography and peoples remained. This is the truth that everyone in the East must understand, especially since Syria has historically been a conduit for armies and invaders.
Despite this, those who preserve it as a unified entity, regardless of its diverse components, know that it is capable of rising again. Yesterday, Syria was freed from the American and European sanctions. It now has the capacity to rebuild. At this stage, it will not be able to fight on all fronts, so if President Ahmad Al-Sharaa outlines the broad and strategic interests of his country, he is acting realistically and relying on significant international and Arab support.
We then tell President Al-Sharaa to ignore those who betray his rule and raise empty slogans. He must protect Syria and its interests, so that the devils and saboteurs do not return and turn his country into a terrorist hub once again.
We must remember that Vietnam was liberated by two men -- Ho Chi Minh and General Giap. Palestine will not be liberated by political merchants and brainwashed people devoted to proliferation.
