Israel's UN ambassador says country is not involved in Syrian politics

Israel's UN ambassador, Danny Danon, stated that Israel is "not getting involved" in Syria's internal politics despite recent airstrikes and troop movements into a buffer zone. He emphasized Israel's focus on maintaining a quiet border. Following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad, Israel has targeted military sites in Syria to prevent weapons from falling into hostile hands. Danon expressed concerns about the influence of "bad actors" in the region. Danon noted that Israel has taken control of strategic areas, including Mount Hermon, to enhance its defenses. He expressed hope for a stable future in Syria but reiterated that Israel's priority is to prevent terrorist threats near its border.
