In these critical days when the Islamic Ummah needs unity and solidarity to confront the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza, some regional actors and domestic groups are playing on enemy territory, consciously or unconsciously. The attacks by the Syrian opposition on Damascus positions, simultaneously with the war in Gaza, raise serious questions about the role and goals of these actions. Are these attacks merely internal disputes or part of a larger conspiracy to weaken the resistance front?
Seyyed Hamed Amini/ This article attempts to examine, with a deep and analytical look, the impact of these actions on the future of the axis of resistance and the Palestinian cause.
Palestine and Assad: An Unbreakable Link
Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, Palestinian groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad have repeatedly declared their support for Bashar al-Assad. This support is rooted in the history of Damascus’ long cooperation with the Palestinian resistance. Syria has always been a safe haven for Palestinian leaders and fighters and has not spared its resources to support the Palestinian cause. Today, in the midst of the Gaza crisis, the presence of Palestinian groups alongside the Syrian government sends a clear message to the enemies that the axis of resistance, despite all the pressures and conspiracies, is united and steadfast.
But one must ask why some opponents of Assad ignore this fact and, at a time when the Islamic Ummah needs unity, are weakening one of the pillars of the resistance?
Turkey: Ally or Dual Actor?
Turkey’s role in the Syrian crisis is one of the most complex issues in the region. While the country ostensibly supports Palestine and speaks out against Israeli crimes in international forums, its support for the armed opposition in Syria, especially groups that have close ties to Western countries and Israel, is a clear contradiction. Turkey’s interventions in northern Syria have not only increased violence but also provided an opportunity for the enemies of Islam to exploit this turmoil for their own benefit.
The question is whether Turkey is truly seeking to strengthen the Islamic resistance or whether regional ambitions and geopolitical rivalries have overshadowed its decisions?
Assad’s Support for the Palestinian Resistance
Despite all the international and domestic pressures, Bashar Assad is one of the few leaders who has prioritized supporting the Palestinian resistance in his policies. Damascus is not only known as a strategic ally for resistance groups, but also has a serious moral and historical commitment to the Palestinian cause.
Assad’s support for Palestine, even in the most difficult circumstances of the Syrian civil war, demonstrates the importance of this issue to him and the Syrian people. Although this commitment has brought great costs to Syria, it has consolidated the country’s credibility and position in the axis of resistance.
Assad’s Opponents’ Attacks: Playing on Israel’s Ground and Betraying Gaza
The recent attacks by Assad’s opponents on Syrian government positions, at a time when the Gaza war has reached its peak, are not only an irrational act but also a betrayal of the Palestinian cause. These attacks have diverted the Syrian government’s resources and energy from helping the Palestinian resistance and have given the Zionist regime the opportunity to exploit this chaos.
Don’t Assad’s opponents know that their actions will only benefit Israel and America? Are they unaware of the fact that today, more than ever, unity among Muslims is essential to confront a common enemy?
The Grand Conspiracy: America, Israel, and Turkey
A closer look at recent developments shows that these attacks are part of a larger plan. America and Israel have always sought to weaken the axis of resistance and create divisions among Islamic countries. Turkey’s cooperation with this plan, under various pretexts, has only complicated the situation.
This conspiracy not only aims to weaken Syria but also marginalizes the Palestinian cause by creating divisions among Islamic countries. In these circumstances, Muslims must be vigilant and not allow enemies to use internal differences to advance their goals.
Conclusion: Awakening of the Islamic Ummah
The Islamic Ummah is at a critical juncture in its history today. The Zionist regime is trying to divert attention from its crimes by creating division and crisis among Islamic countries. Meanwhile, the attacks on Syria and the attempt to weaken the axis of resistance are steps in line with this sinister plan.
The Muslims of the world must realize that the only way to victory is unity and solidarity against the common enemy. Any action that harms this unity will be a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and a game on the enemy’s turf. Today, more than ever, we need the awakening and vigilance of the Islamic Ummah so that we can stand against the conspiracies of the enemies and lead the resistance to victory.
