Danny Danon, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, called for the establishment of a demilitarized zone extending from Damascus to the current Israeli-Syrian buffer zone, stating Israel will act to defend its Druze allies and prevent attacks from adjacent areas, according to a statement shared on X between 6:16 PM and 6:46 PM UTC on December 18. Danon said, "We are calling for the establishment of a demilitarized zone extending from Damascus to the current buffer zone. We will act to defend our Druze allies and prevent any attacks launched from adjacent areas," as posted by @Osint613 on X during this 29-minute period. This call comes amid ongoing post-Assad developments in Syria nearly a year after Bashar al-Assad's ouster in December 2024.
