Greater Israel ("under construction") will murder and/or expel 5 million Palestinians if western countries do not stop them.

Western countries will be 100% complicit if they don't; keep reminding your governments.

Some of the most senior U.S. diplomats focused on Syria have been abruptly let go from their posts in recent days, sources have said, as Washington seeks to integrate Syrian Kurdish allies with Damascus. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/18/world/politics/us-diplomats-syria-damascus-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #syria #middleeast #us

U.S. envoys focused on Syria ousted amid pro-Damascus shift, sources say

The diplomats at the de facto U.S. mission to Syria, based in Istanbul, all reported to the U.S. special envoy for Syria, a longtime friend of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Under U.S. pressure, Syria and Israel inch toward security deal

Washington is pushing for enough progress to be made by the time of the U.N. General Assembly at the end of this month to allow President Donald Trump to announce a breakthrough.
