Syrian Military Operations Administration Delegation from Quneitra: Contact with Israeli Forces Prohibited
A delegation from the Syrian Military Operations Administration met with civil activists and
notables in Quneitra province to activate service institutions and meet the needs of the citizens.
According to the Syrian newspaper “Al-Watan,” the delegation praised the “nationalism of the
people of Quneitra and the sons of the Golan” during the meeting, stating that “Quneitra has been
one of the most stable and secure provinces since the fall of the criminal regime, thanks to the
awareness of its citizens. However, the joy was not complete due to the Zionist entity’s incursion
into the villages adjacent to the ceasefire line, which spoiled the happiness for the people of
Quneitra.”
The delegation reiterated that:
“the Zionist entity has usurped our land, and no one from the province is allowed to communicate
with them to avoid legitimizing them,” highlighting “international channels and efforts by the
Foreign Ministry in the interim government to withdraw the Israeli occupying forces and return
to the 1974 agreement.”
The Military Operations Administration delegation also called for
“All citizens possessing weapons to surrender them immediately,” emphasizing that “the
leadership will not allow any arms outside the state framework, and all armed factions will be
integrated into the Ministry of Defense.”
The delegation clarified that “the mentality today is one of building rather than exclusion,”
stressing that “no one working for the benefit of the nation and its people will be excluded, there
will be no favoritism, and everyone will be under the rule of law, and no one will be allowed to
destabilize the province.”
The meeting touched on “the importance of the upcoming National Dialogue Conference, where
50 figures (notables, tribal elders, religious figures, administrative cadres, and others) will be
chosen to represent the province.”
The delegation noted that “starting from Wednesday, the police chief will begin his duties with
police personnel, and in a short period, after the officers complete their ongoing training courses,
the existing police stations will be reopened,” expecting “the new Quneitra governor to take up his
duties at the beginning of next week.”
It is worth mentioning that the Syrian Military Operations Administration recently announced the
opening of a settlement center for elements of the former regime in Quneitra province.
Earlier media reports stated that the Israeli army controls 95% of Syria’s Quneitra province and
has erected communication towers west of the town of Hadar.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously stated that Tel Aviv seeks to establish good
relations with the new regime in Syria.
Netanyahu said:
“The Golan Heights will forever remain an inseparable part of Israel,” emphasizing that “everyone
now realizes the extreme importance of our control over it.”
The Golan Heights were part of Syria until 1967 when Israeli forces occupied the area during the
Six-Day War. Following the 1973 war, as part of a ceasefire and troop separation agreement, UN
peacekeeping centers were established in the Golan Heights in 1974, with the Syrian side
referred to as “Bravo” line and the Israeli side as “Alpha” line.
