Private security sources told “Al-Khaleej Online” that an Emirati intelligence delegation headed by Brigadier General Muhammad Al-Zahran (a committee member assigned by the intelligence agency to manage the Syrian archive) arrived in Tel Aviv on October 17, 2020, where the proposed draft was discussed by the Emirati side. This includes cooperation between Abu Dhabi and “Tel Aviv” to reorganize armed opposition factions in southern Syrian cities along the border with “Israel.”
The Emirati movements, according to the source, fall within the Abu Dhabi plan to support a project that guarantees to confront Iran in the Daraa, Quneitra and Sweida governorates, and confront Turkey at the level of political solution in Syria.
The source revealed that the project was previously discussed at the level of a Russian-Emirati diplomat, but Moscow rejected the proposal as presented and stipulated for approval that the ranks of opposition fighters who carried out agreements and reconciliations under the auspices of Russia are reorganized within the Sixth Corps project in Daraa governorate.

Emirati activity in Syria
Emirati movements focused on supporting the Syrian opposition in the south after 2012, which is the front that witnessed the strangest developments in the Syrian war.
Most of the southern Syrian factions were funded almost entirely by the Emiratis and Saudi Arabia, and were subject to the direct supervision of Jordanian intelligence. He assumed the task of mobilizing the factions and controlling the pace of their operations in proportion to the role required of them.
In fact, it completely stopped waging any battle against the Assad regime after the Moscow quadripartite meeting that included (Russia – Egypt – Jordan – and the United Arab Emirates) and was held in August 2015, so Saudi Arabia he joined the new axis after his crown prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Moscow.
The Emiratis played an important role in Russia and in the Assad regime’s assault on the cradle of the Syrian revolution (Daraa and its environs), especially with the complete and rapid collapse of the factions supporting the revolution, especially the eastern part of governorate, according to Britain’s Middle East Eye website.
Ahmed al-Awda led the process of collapse and handing over Daraa to Russia and the Syrian regime militias without a fight, especially since East Horan is completely under his control.
Furthermore, the influence of Al-Awda, the man from the Emirates, and the field of Operation “Al-Mouk” was not limited to East Horan, but transcended the western section, where he recruited various factions, especially those of the villages that gave rise to the “Muthanna Movement”, such as the city of “Inkhil”. This is to avoid the emergence of new factions that may hinder the process of handing over the region to the regime.
Abu Dhabi is also working to support separatist Kurdish militias in northern Syria. This is to confront Turkey, which is leading military operations against these militias in cooperation with the Free Army factions, as it threatens Turkish national security and seeks to dismantle Syria.
After completing the series of restoring the Assad regime, accompanied by Russia and Iran, to the areas that were under the control of the Free Army factions in the southern regions in particular, the UAE announced, in December 2018 surprisingly, opening its embassy in Damascus, and then Bahrain took the same step, in an attempt to resurrect the regime after widespread international isolation.
The warmth of relations between Assad and the United Arab Emirates appeared recently (after the announcement of normalization), with the arrival of two aid planes in 5 days carrying 25 tons of medical supplies and equipment, prevention supplies and tests of laboratory related to the Coronavirus, according to Assad news agency “SANA”.
And Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, had taken advantage of the Corona virus outbreak, the first reported contact of its kind with Bashar al-Assad since 2011, confirming the UAE’s support for the Syrian people.
