Difficult steps await Ahmed Al-Sharaa…an Israeli report announces them

The Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post” published a new report in which it talked about what it called “the daunting task facing the leader of the new Syrian administration, Ahmed Al-Sharaa.”

The report he translated says: “Lebanon 24” It is difficult to overstate the enormous tasks facing Sharaa as he attempts to peacefully consolidate his power with other rebel groups and advance his long-term domestic agenda.

The report notes that all indications indicate that Al-Julani is determined to put Syria on a transformational path that leads to a democracy dominated by social and political equality and prevents Syria from sliding into the abyss. It added: “After Syria has suffered from hell over the past 14 years, he must prove “To the world, he means what he says and that he will keep his promises to gain international recognition and support.”

He continued: “Al-Shara must address – in stages – several major issues fraught with enormous difficulties that will determine whether or not he will rise to the level of the historical occasion and revive Syria from the ashes left by the Assad regime.”
He continued: “Given the extent of the disintegration of the Syrian people after 14 years of systematic persecution, displacement, destruction, and the death of more than 600,000 Syrians, there is nothing more urgent than the new government making concerted efforts to heal the nation’s wounds.” Uniting all rebel groups under one roof is an essential first step to making such a national effort possible.”

He added: “Also, the new government must work to formulate a new social contract by prioritizing human rights and the rule of law and begin implementing the huge task of rehabilitating the displaced. It is crucial to bring perpetrators of crimes against humanity to justice, prevent arbitrary detention, and follow legal procedures.”

He added: “Establishing a ministerial-level body for peace, justice and reconciliation is essential, as well as prohibiting revenge and retribution, and making clear that perpetrators will face justice while preserving evidence of atrocities to ensure accountability in the future.”
The report continued: “Since Syria includes nearly 20 different ethnic and religious groups, including multiple Christian sects, the new political system must be inclusive and allow the participation of all groups in political processes.” It is crucial to reform the Constitution to recognize the political rights of all segments of the population to ensure a smooth transition to a decentralized democratic system, including abolishing all discriminatory laws and practices and ensuring religious freedom and equality for all.”

He added: “Almost all ethnic and religious groups, with the exception of the Alawites who ruled the country, have been politically marginalized. Therefore, political inclusiveness and free and fair elections are extremely important for social cohesion, which the Syrian people desperately need.”

He said: “On the economic front, the new government urgently needs to fix the observed disruption by taking the following measures, among others: developing a sustainable reconstruction plan to rebuild the economy, revitalize the private sector, and create job opportunities; Working with international investors, donors and local organizations in a transparent and cooperative manner to help revive the economy; And support small and medium-sized companies financially and technically to stimulate growth.”

He added: “Also, a donor sponsor must be established to provide financial assistance linked to the progress made in reconstruction, as well as a full commitment to democracy, where human rights are held in high esteem.”

He continued: “On the social level, the government must invest in education, health care, alleviating poverty and food insecurity, and must implement sustainable agricultural support programs and remove all obstacles to allow humanitarian aid to reach all regions and cooperate with international countries to ensure the flow of humanitarian aid.” “What is most important is for the Syrian government to work to create conditions that allow refugees and internally displaced people to return to their homes, while restoring the demographic changes that may have occurred under Assad’s brutal repression.”

He said: “For the past several decades, foreign forces and military installations from Russia, Turkey and Iran have been stationed in Syria. In order to emerge as a truly independent country, the new government must ask foreign powers to withdraw their forces from the country. “Also, it must emphasize that because Syria has entered a new era, hosting foreign powers is no longer necessary and only undermines the country’s sovereignty.”

He added: “Al-Sharaa demanded that Iran withdraw its forces and all its military installations from Syria. Therefore, his government should demand that Tehran not interfere in sovereign Syria, revoke access to military complexes previously used by Iran, and strengthen border security to prevent Iran from returning to Syria and prevent it from smuggling weapons to Hezbollah.”

He continued: “Moreover, the new regime must threaten to cancel all bilateral economic cooperation if Iran does not respect its sovereignty, seek support from the United Nations to pressure Iran to respect Syrian sovereignty, and make clear to Tehran that it will not allow Syria to be used as a theater for a threat.” Israel.

The report considered that “Israel took advantage of the fall of the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and began intensive bombing operations to destroy military installations and weapons depots belonging to the Syrian army during the occupation of the buffer zone and Mount Hermon,” and added: “Given Israel’s extreme sensitivity regarding its security, the Sharaa government must deal with “With extreme caution with Israel to prevent any military conflict that would seriously undermine the urgent need to rehabilitate the country.”

He continued: “The new government must fully adhere to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement (to which it has already committed) and ask Israel to do the same, and make clear that it will seek a peaceful solution to all conflicts with Israel. “It is crucial to establish back-channel communication to discuss border security, propose confidence-building measures, including water management in the border area, and work with the UN Disengagement Observer Force to ensure effective monitoring of the buffer zone.”

He concluded: “The United States, the European Union, the Arab countries, and Israel have an interest in maintaining regional stability and security, and they need to cooperate with the new Syrian regime to achieve their common goals, starting with lifting the classification of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham as a terrorist organization and legitimizing its ruling authority.” So far, all signs point to the new government’s commitment to implementing its stated goal of ending the suffering and forging a new path toward peace and security, which the Syrian people so desperately yearn for.”
