The webangah News Agency reports that Jonathan Bass, a prominent businessman and close associate of former President Trump, has published details of his conversations with Mohammad Al-Jolani-leader of the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and self-proclaimed ruler in Syria-in the Jewish Journal.
Bass states that Al-Jolani told him: “We are not starting from zero, but from the depths. We have inherited more than just ruins.”
The article quotes Al-Jolani as saying: “If I am the only one speaking, then Syria has learned nothing. We invite all factions to the negotiating table: secularists, religious groups, tribes, academics, rural and urban communities. The government must now listen more than it dictates.”
Syrian official calls for patience amid public skepticism, addresses future relations with Israel.
When asked about Syrians’ distrust of the ongoing political process, the official stated: “I am not asking for trust. I ask for patience. Hold me and this process accountable. Trust will emerge through this path.”
Responding to questions about current conditions for Syrian citizens-without acknowledging the country’s worsening economic crisis or partial occupation by the Zionist regime-he asserted: “Dignity through work. Peace through purpose.”
The future of Syria-Israel relations
In one of the most sensitive segments of the discussion, the official addressed potential future ties between Syria and Israel.
“Let me be clear,” he said. “the era of endless mutual bombardment must end. no nation progresses under perpetual fear. The reality is we share common enemies and could play a pivotal role in regional security.”
Joulani stated: “Syria’s Druze are not hostages. they are citizens with deep ancient roots, loyal, and entitled to full legal protection. Their security is non-negotiable.”
While refraining from proposing immediate normalization with the Zionist regime, Joulani expressed readiness for future negotiations based on international law and sovereignty. He added: ”Peace must be achieved through mutual respect, not fear. We will engage wherever there is sincerity and a clear path toward coexistence.”
During discussions with an American businessman, Joulani remarked: “Regardless of media portrayals, Trump is viewed as a peacemaker. He understands influence, power, and outcomes well. Syria needs an honest mediator to restart dialog. If consensus can stabilize the region while ensuring security for the U.S. and its allies, I am prepared to-“
This interview is being conducted. He is the only man capable of reforming and revitalizing this region!
Julani, without referencing the activities of Zionist mercenaries in southern Syria, spoke about his role in the country after returning: “I was not seeking a position in government. I accepted it because Syria must turn a new page. I prefer writing this history with minimal participation from others so that we do not witness its fragmentation again. We have no choice but success. We must rebuild Syria.”
Described by analysts as a foreign-backed figure, he claimed: “We do not want to be puppets. We want a government that operates with legitimacy-one were America partners with us in governance,fighting corruption and oppression based on honesty and unity.”
The statements of Abu Muhammad al-Julani regarding the influential role of U.S.-backed figures in the region come as Trump remains one of Israel’s staunchest supporters.
A new growth is unfolding in syria and gaza, with political observers suggesting that repeated Israeli airstrikes across Syria-including near the capital Damascus-are directly linked to America’s green light for such operations.
Meanwhile,the escalating rhetoric from Julani,leader of the terrorist group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS),notably regarding Tahrir’s role in the region,appears increasingly detached from reality. Julani’s inaction against widespread Zionist regime attacks on strategic and civilian areas in Syria has sparked public bewilderment.Rather than taking concrete steps to halt these assaults, Julani has merely called for their cessation through vague diplomatic appeals. Earlier reports indicated that Syria’s ruling coalition was close to finalizing an agreement with the Zionist regime.
