New joint patrol in “M4”

For the eleventh time in a row, Russian and Turkish forces carried out a new joint patrol on the Aleppo-Lattakia “M4” international highway between the two cities of Saraqib in the southeastern Idlib camp and Jericho in the southern Idlib camp. As always, the joint patrol was thrown with stones and eggs, and a Russian armored window was broken. The issue of crossing Russian mechanisms participating in patrols on the international route, most of which are controlled by armed factions, raises great differences within and between some factions. For example, the Al-Sham Headquarters for the Liberation took advantage of this issue to compel the Turks to accept the opening of a trade crossing for the organization, with the Syrian army’s control areas in the southwestern Aleppo camp. Factions like “Guardians of Religion” and “Islamic Party of Turkistan” also refuse to cross patrols entirely, as mechanisms are supposed to cross from areas that are mainly controlled by these two factions.

The Al-Sham Liberation Headquarters receives most of the accusations, in cooperation with Ankara, of “opening the liberated areas to the Russians” and “normalizing with the regime”, through trade crossings. In this context, the armed coordinators said that the former Al-Sham Liberation Headquarters official, Abu al-Abd, is fiercely (an old and well-known leader), attacked Turkey and accused him of introducing the “Russian enemy “in the control areas of the armed factions in northern Syria, refusing to conduct joint patrols along a highway. “M4,” also refused, “the authority” to open trade crossings with the Syrian army’s control areas. Ashdha said: “There are goals and aspirations for the Turkish state, different from the aspirations of the revolution and the Syrian people, and they want their interest,” placing patrols in this context. He added: “The Turkish regime is helping the Russians today to bring them into the territories, and it agrees with the enemies of the Syrian revolution, and this is not in our interest, contrary to what the Turks say.” In passing the crossings with the areas controlled by the Syrian army, he said: “I am not with the opening of the crossing, and I will not speak in terms of interest, which needs experiences and sessions, and the matter will continue, but it is sufficient that people are seriously injured by the regime, “describing the step of opening crossings with” normalization with the system. “

Pompeo: We hope that the Iranian regime will make the right decision and withdraw its forces.

Meanwhile, Turkish forces continue to introduce more reinforcements in the Idlib camp, which is witnessing an alleged ceasefire. The entry of a Turkish military convoy, consisting of 23 vehicles and trucks loaded with logistical and military equipment, was monitored from the Kafr Klossen border crossing in the northern Idlib camp to the Turkish points in the Idlib camp. In the same context, the armed coordinators spoke about the injury of two faction gunmen, after a Syrian army drone attacked a car they were traveling on the Sarmin-Saraqeb road in the southeastern Idlib camp.

Washington and Tel Aviv exacerbate threats
On the other hand, the Secretary of State of the United States, Mike Pompeo, said, in an interview with the Israeli channel “Kan”, during his visit to Tel Aviv the day before yesterday, that the United States and Israel “made clear to the Iranian regime that it must leave Syria, and we also clarify it to the Assad regime. ” Pompeo did not explain how these messages were transmitted, except that he believed that “the work of the United States, the work we have done, and our policy of exerting maximum pressure, we believe were effective, and helped to prevent the Iranian regime from possessing resources to control terrorism around the world. ” We hope that the Iranian regime will make the right decision and withdraw its forces from Syria. “In parallel, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, met with Pompeo’s positions, stating in an interview with the Israeli” i24news “that “Israel will not allow Iran to position itself on the Golan Heights near the Israeli borders and build military bases.” He said: “We saw what is happening in Lebanon, and we do not want to repeat the same mistakes we made in Lebanon in Syria. “He added:” There are only 7 percent of the Golan Heights present in Israel, so there is a strategic danger of having very hostile forces in Israel. “” A geographically sensitive area should be clear. “Danon threatened to that “Israel will attack after receiving intelligence on Iranian arms shipments in Syria.”
