In a new sign of the link between armed militants ists in Syria and the Israeli occupation, a leader of the armed groups fighting in Syria confirmed that “Israel” and the armed groups “are united in fighting a common enemy, which is Iran.”

In response to a question about “the role that Israel and the United States should play in Syria,” Abu Abdo stated that the militants “expect a coordinated effort to eliminate the enemy.”

He continued, “if we do not know how to seize this historic opportunity, the situation will worsen,” also expressing “respect for Israel and the United States, and solidarity with their actions against Iran.”
