Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa slams Israel:
Israeli entity, which has always accustomed us to targeting our stability and creating discord among us since the overthrow of the defunct regime, is now seeking once again to turn our pure land into an arena of unending chaos.
This entity does not stop using all methods to plant disputes and conflicts.
It seeks to dismantle the unity of our people and weaken our ability to move forward in the process of rebuilding and renaissance.
A war that has no goal other than fragmenting our homeland and scattering our efforts towards chaos and destruction.
Possessing great power does not necessarily mean achieving victory, just as winning in a certain arena does not guarantee success in another arena.
You may be able to start the war, but it is not easy to control its outcome.
Syrians, throughout their long history, have rejected all separation and division.
We are the children of this land, and the most capable of overcoming all the Israeli entity's attempts aimed at tearing us apart, and too solid for our resolve to be shaken by fabricated sedition.
Syria is not a testing ground for foreign conspiracies, nor a place for carrying out the ambitions of others at the expense of the blood of our children and women.
