Sochi was a success and it seems that it has begun a process of reorganizing the situations that have remained hanging, even the historical ones such as the Golan Heights. Bashar Assad said he was ready, after speaking with Vladimir Putin, to discuss the creation of a demilitarized area up to 40 km from the separation line of the territories annexed by Israel during the Six Day War. This was reported by the Kuwaiti newspaper al Jarida, relaunched by the Israeli Arutz Sheva.
Additionally, Assad is ready to evaluate an autonomous statute for the Kurds and Drusi in the Middle East, pointing to an official of the Jewish state who wants to remain anonymous, to a federal state.
Putin subsequently spoke of all this with Benjanmin Netanyahu, finding in the Israeli Prime Minister the willingness to discuss Syrian proposals with those responsible for security in Israel. But, the source added, Netanyahu stressed the need for both Hezbollah and Iranian Pasdaran units to leave Syria.
Tehran, the Israeli official claims, "continues to play with fire" and Israel will attack its infrastructure within 40 km of the planned area. Vladimir Putin, therefore, continues with a work that aims to recover the Russian role in the Middle East. It is, his spokesman Dimitry Peskov explained to the Rossiya television channel, a "diplomatic marathon, which will go on, in one way or another" and precisely the meeting with Assad in Sochi "has contributed in a very significant way to the success of the summit ”on the Black Sea held with the Turkish president, Recep Tayyp Erdogan, and the Iranian president, Hassan Rohani.
The Golan was conquered by Israel on 9 June 1967: it is the Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan who starts the offensive on the Golan Heights, an operation planned for some time. The area was heavily bombed and subsequently conquered by Israeli ground troops as Syrian soldiers retreated to Damascus.
