ILTV agrees with my past statements that the present Syrian President, Jolani, real name is Ahmed al-Sharaa (sometimes spelled Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa).  He previously used the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.  Jolani is not to be forgotten that his whole life has been spent being a terrorist, and a leader at that of terrorism.  Trump seems to have forgotten this little fact in his dealings with him.  Of course, Trump likes people who can force others to do his bidding.  

Doesn't Trump know that Jolani's journey as a jihadist began in Iraq, linked to al-Qaeda through the Islamic State (IS) group's precursor - al-Qaeda in Iraq and, later, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI).

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa accused Israel on Saturday of “exporting crises” to other countries as a way to divert attention from the “horrifying massacres” it is committing in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Addressing the Doha Forum in the Qatari capital, Sharaa claimed that Israel was attempting to justify its actions against several Middle Eastern countries under the false pretext of “security concerns”.

“Israel… tries to run away from the horrifying massacres committed in Gaza, and it does so by attempting to export crises,” Sharaa said in conversation with CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour.

Now we see Amanpour diving into aping what a terrorist says

about Israel as the gospel truth like Nicholas Kristof has done.

After the 2003 US-led invasion, he joined other foreign fighters in Iraq and, in 2005, was imprisoned at Camp Bucca, where he enhanced his jihadist affiliations and later on was introduced to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the quiet scholar who would later go on to lead IS.

In 2011, Baghdadi sent Jolani to Syria with funding to establish al-Nusra Front, a covert faction tied to ISI. By 2012, Nusra had become a prominent Syrian fighting force, hiding its IS and al-Qaeda ties.

Lately, The Syrian government has been continuously demanding a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Syria. Damascus condemns these Israeli ground incursions, military operations, and detentions in areas such as Quneitra as blatant violations of Syrian sovereignty. 

Syrian officials are actively pursuing a security agreement that would secure the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the 1974 ceasefire lines, while pausing broader negotiations over the Golan Heights. The Syrian government continues to press the international community and the United Nations to pressure Israel into halting its military footprint in the region. 

Diplomatic Stance: While Damascus has chosen a diplomatic route to avoid further escalation after years of civil conflict, al-Sharaa states that negotiations are incredibly difficult. He has strongly rejected any recognition of Israeli control over the Golan Heights.

The 1974 Baseline: Syria's core demand is that Israel must strictly adhere to the 1974 disengagement agreements and withdraw from any areas its forces have penetrated.

Current Status: Syrian officials maintain they are seeking a security agreement to guarantee a withdrawal, but note progress is severely hampered by Israel's insistence on maintaining a presence and creating a wide buffer zone on Syrian soil.

This admiration for the strong horse, Jolani aka Sharaa,  is a middle-east social way of life that is normal for Trump lately.  It's going to backfire and lose him a lot of votes.  We don't all go for the strongest but the one most admirable and moral.  

ILTV (Israel News) coverage of Ahmad al-Sharaa (Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) and the Syrian transition government highlights his shifting demands regarding Israel. Their programming analyzes his calls for an Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territories, alongside his parallel push for U.S.-backed negotiations and Syria's evolving role in the region.

The Withdrawal Demand: ILTV has covered Jolani's demands for the IDF to pull back from the strategic buffer zones and heights seized in southern Syria, presenting this as a complex geopolitical hurdle.

U.S. Mediation & Peace Deals: Broadcasts explore the diplomatic efforts, reportedly mediated by the U.S. and UAE, evaluating whether these negotiations could transition into a non-aggression pact or normalization.

Geopolitical Leverage: Commentary examines the pressure on the transitional Syrian leadership to secure Israeli concessions, the high-ground leverage in the Golan Heights, and the risks of domestic backlash.  All this procedure is wasted time spent expecting a terrorist with ultimate goals pertaining only to him to be valued.  They go through wasted  motions probably hoping to get cheesecake at the end of such meetings.
