Syrian Journalist Warns of Uprising Amid Anti-Israel Protests

A Syrian journalist close to President Ahmad al-Shar'a has warned that the Syrian people will rise up against perceived harm to Syrians and will not relinquish any territory in the Golan, Quneitra, and Daraa. Jamil Alhasan stated that al-Shar'a acts as a "safety valve" preventing the Syrian populace from acting. He acknowledged Israel's technological advantage but asserted that Syrian strength, courage, and determination can overcome it, adding that the Syrian people are capable of this. The remarks were made against the backdrop of recent anti-Israel demonstrations in several Syrian cities. Alhasan also invoked the historical slogan "Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud," a reference to a 7th-century battle between Muslims and Jews, often used in modern anti-Israel rhetoric.

The journalist's comments, shared via a video from the "Revolt of the Successors" channel, suggest a volatile situation where popular anger could be unleashed if not contained by the current leadership. The implication is that while the president currently restrains the public, their resolve to defend Syrian land remains strong.
