Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that Israel's military campaign against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon led to the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria. He stated that Israel seized a buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights, a move that violates a 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria. Netanyahu said that Israel will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on its border, implying that Israel's presence in the buffer zone is to prevent potential threats.

    1. We attacked ammunition depots in southern Syria and in the Damascus airport area for fears they might fall into the hands of armed groups and local factions.
    2. The State of Israel does not interfere in in the domestic conflict within Syria.
    1. We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border.
    2. Together with the Defense Minister, and with full backing from the Cabinet, I directed the IDF yesterday to take control of the buffer zone and the dominant positions near it.
    3. This is a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, Assad's main supporters. It has triggered a chain reaction across the Middle East, empowering those seeking to break free from this oppressive regime.
    4. This is a historic day in the history of the Middle East.
    1. Rebuilding Hezbollah seems even more difficult with the loss of Syria, which was a logistical rearguard for weapons from Assad, Iran, and Russia.
    1. It's going to be very challenging for Israel.
    2. Taking more territory means we have to deal with other players who might not be so happy about it.
    3. The situation that we were used to in Syria in the past – 50 years with the Assad regime – has changed completely.
