Syria News contributor Safaa Syria, writing back to the site from inside the wound, refuses to let the world call this "progress."
On the sidelines of the recent NATO summit in Turkey, Trump summoned Al Qaeda HTS commander and former deputy commander of ISIS Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani and his foreign minister, and spewed the full recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan in front of the terrorists' delegation, dressed up as American generosity: a promise to finally scrub Syria off Washington's terrorism list after 47 years.
Al Qaeda HTS's Foreign Ministry called it the closing of a "dark chapter." Safaa calls it what it actually is: a forged certificate of good conduct, purchased with land that was never Israel's or Jolani's, to be traded away.
Safaa walks through the nineteen months since Al Qaeda HTS took Damascus without a fight — the dollar back at war-time highs, sixty percent of minority public employees fired before the "raises" arrived, electricity priced out of reach of anyone without a salary, hundreds of hectares of Syrian wheat fields burned to keep bread an import, and the new regime's own oil fields sold back to citizens at world price.
Ten bombings in Damascus in a single week, one near the low-rated Macron while he shook Al-Jolani's hand, the worst bombing gutted a cafe behind the Justice Palace. She asks the only honest question left: Is this what liberation from terrorism looks like?
Don't let anyone tell you the lie of selling the Golan to Israel died quietly with Hafez Al-Assad's name attached to it; it was buried in silence, along with everyone who spread it for years and never apologized: The Golan Was Sold With a Forged Certificate of Good Conduct.
