Southern Syria: A New Escalation in the Political Landscape and International Presence Under al-Julani’s Control
By Khaled Ali
Amid the escalating events and significant changes taking place in southern Syria, political and military dimensions are converging to shape the contours of a new phase on Syrian soil. When discussing the control of al-Julani and his militias over large areas of Syria, we are confronted with a new reality that is shaping the Syrian scene with features that raise numerous questions about the political future of the country. However, what is most important are the challenges this region will face in light of the changes that will occur in international relations in the region.
The American Impact on the Syrian Reality
The positions of the United States play a crucial role in understanding Syria’s current situation. The U.S. insists on its firm stance of not recognizing the flag raised by al-Julani and his militias in the areas they control. The United States refuses to acknowledge al-Julani’s claims of imposing control over Damascus and insists on raising the internationally recognized Syrian flag in embassies and international institutions.
This position is accompanied by a lack of recognition of al-Julani’s control over Syrian territory, reflecting the absence of the Syrian state in the region, following the actual withdrawal of the Syrian regime from control over most Syrian cities. What further complicates the situation is the issue of international recognition, which remains a central issue in shaping the political future of Syria.
Political Impact on Syria’s Interior
Within Syria, this international stance contributes to further isolating al-Julani’s government and strengthens the position of opposition forces seeking to overthrow his rule. While al-Julani struggles for control over Syrian territory, he finds himself facing an international community that does not recognize his rule, making his position increasingly difficult on both the international and regional fronts.
On the other hand, the American position demonstrates a commitment to the principle of Syrian sovereignty by recognizing only the internationally recognized Syrian flag. This policy could deepen the divisions within Syria between those who support al-Julani and his militias, and those who see them as part of the Syrian crisis without any international legal legitimacy.
Impact on al-Julani’s Government
Al-Julani’s terrorist government, in light of this international stance, will face significant challenges in asserting its legitimacy on the international stage. The international community’s refusal to recognize al-Julani’s rule, especially with political decisions that could impact regional and international relations, may increasingly isolate his government.
Moreover, this international stance complicates the relationships between al-Julani and Syrian opposition parties, as he finds himself trapped in a confrontation with international actors seeking political solutions that exclude him and his rule. If this dynamic continues, we may enter a phase that witnesses further escalation and internal tensions, potentially leading to the actual division of the country.
The Regional Dimension and Its Future Impact
On the other hand, these developments point to the existence of a regional operation room controlling the political balances between the various Syrian factions, from Iran to Turkey to the Zionist entity. Although al-Julani controls most of Syrian territory, this American decision will make the situation more complicated for him. With no international stance supporting him, he may find himself in a constant struggle to maintain the stability of his rule amidst rapid regional and international changes.
Conclusion:
The American decision not to recognize al-Julani’s rule and reject the flag of his militias signals a consistent international position toward Syria, reflecting rejection of his rule based on violence and terrorism. At the same time, it is evident that the conflict in Syria will become more complex in the near future, especially with the West reaffirming its firm stance on the legitimacy of the internationally recognized Syrian regime.
This new political equation may lead to more divisions within Syrian society, enhancing the actual separation between local forces, and possibly contributing to the emergence of new political paths at the regional and international levels.
