Defense Minister Israel Katz recently held a meeting with other cabinet officials to discuss developments in Syria and with an emphasis on Turkish involvement.
According to Israel Hayom, Cabinet member Eli Cohen proposed promoting an international conference on Syria, the purpose of which would be to strategize how Syria’s borders could be moved and rearranged in the aftermath of the collapse of the Assad regime.
The idea would be arriving at the manner by which Syria would be dissolved into smaller provinces divided between the different ethnic groups in the country, allowing each a degree of security and self-governance.
Security officials say that Israel has no intention of settling in Syria but will not withdraw it’s troops until an agreement has been reached that does not threaten Israel’s security. Thus far, no proposal has satisfied this requirement.
