— 🇸🇾/🇮🇱/🇺🇸 NEW: Maher Marwan, the new governor of Damascus, recently spoke with NPR, where he justified Israel’s bombing of Syria and territorial expansion: ‘Israel may have felt fear,’ he stated. ‘So it advanced a little, bombed a little’

Marwan emphasized, ‘We have no fear towards Israel, and our problem is not with Israel. We don’t want to meddle in anything that threatens Israel’s security or any other country’s security.’

He also expressed a desire for the U.S. to mediate and improve relations between the new Syrian government and Israel: ‘The United States is a grand nation at the helm of all nations, and we have great respect for its expertise, which we wish to leverage.’
