(Jerusalem Post) Maj. (res.) Sarit Zehavi - In his speech at the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Netanyahu referred to ongoing talks regarding a security agreement between Israel and Syria. The international community - led by the U.S. - has embraced Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, while disregarding the warning signs regarding both the fragility of his rule (he survived an assassination attempt only weeks ago) and his enduring ties to extremist Sunni ideology. Moreover, the Syrian security leadership today is overwhelmingly composed of figures with a jihadist background. Still, an agreement could present an opportunity to improve security realities along the Syrian-Israeli border. Any deal must not tie Israel's hands or prevent it from responding to emerging threats across the border. Israel cannot afford to take risks - not another massacre of Druze civilians, and not a threat to Israeli communities in the Golan Heights. Ignoring the first will only hasten the second.

Even after an Agreement with Syria, Israel Cannot Let Its Guard Down
