Syrian group warns Damascus over normalization

The Islamic Resistance Front in Syria has released a public statement directly addressing the Syrian government in Damascus. The group warns that protecting Syria from Israeli aggression will not be achieved by submitting to foreign powers or seeking 'humiliating normalization agreements.' It accuses the government of persecuting patriotic voices and calls for support of resistance fighters instead. The statement frames any attempt to normalize relations with Israel as a betrayal of the Syrian people's blood and demands the authorities choose between standing with the people or remaining a burden on sovereignty.
