    ‘HTC’ do you mean HTS? they’re compradors with Israel and the west, Israel may(and I think already has to some extent) attempt to increase their occupied area of Syria beyond the Golan but HTS wouldn’t oppose it(at least physically)

      Yeah it was a spelling mistake, I meant HTS. I’m aware they’re looking the other way when it comes to Israel/ US aggression in the region, but even a comprador has certain limits they are willing to tolerate (see the recent increased hostilities between Saudi Arabia and UAE over Yemen for example). I could see HTS turning against Israel if they were to hit Damascus directly or attack HTS-controlled military outposts to try and sow more chaos in Syria (a weakened Syria benefits Israel regardless of who is in charge) as Israel has avoided HTS targets entirely, so far.

      Then again, HTS has said nothing of Israel still occupying the South-West of the country, so that’s why I put a maybe on HTS fighting Israel.
