Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Thursday that he made a phone call to Syrian President Ahmed Al-Shar'a, asserting that the conversation contributed to halting violence in Syria's Sweida province. Netanyahu made these remarks during an election rally targeting Druze voters, just days before the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27. He described the call as "short and sharp," stating, "I called Al-Shar'a, it was a short and sharp call, and the massacre stopped." Netanyahu also boasted about Israeli airstrikes in Syria, coinciding with the Sweida events, mentioning, "We took down the Ministry of Defense in Damascus." He expressed a commitment to protecting "brothers" and preventing "massacres," adding that while much remains to be done, his commitment is heartfelt. Independent confirmation of the phone call or its timing was not available, nor was independent data to substantiate Netanyahu's claim that the call caused the events in Sweida to cease.
