Israeli Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli said that “war with Syria is inevitable,” in a post he shared on X.
According to Israel’s Channel 12, his comment came in response to a video showing Syrian soldiers during commemorations marking the fall of al-Assad, chanting: “Gaza, Gaza, the call of our unity, our victory and our strength, day and night.”
Chikli’s remarks also come amid rising tensions along the border, following an incident in which the Israeli army fired live rounds and smoke grenades directly at Syrian civilians in Quneitra.
In the same context, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Quneitra incident coincided with a field tour in the area by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Wolls and Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon.
