Israeli official issues stark warning after chilling Syrian military war chants surface

Following a Syrian military parade in Damascus where soldiers chanted anti-Israel war declarations, Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli warned that "war is inevitable." The chants, verified by Fox News Digital, included calls for victory against Israel and vows of violence. Chikli likened the Syrian regime to ISIS, citing concerns about the treatment of Druze people. Despite this, U.S. envoy to Syria Tom Barrack stated that Syria is not interested in aggression toward Israel and that the U.S. is working towards a security deal between the two nations. Barrack also highlighted Syria's cooperation in eliminating terrorist cells and suggested that Syria represents the "softest play" for Israel in the region, offering a path to avoid perpetual conflict.
