Since Israeli Occupation attacks prevented Syrian government forces from entering the Druze-majority Sweida province in southern Syria, calls for secession led by Hikmat al-Hijri have intensified.

Because currency is a core marker of national identity, overhauling the Syrian financial and banking sector that has been in decline for 14 years requires a new currency, analysts said.

Although talk of truce negotiations persists, the Israeli Occupation continues to act as an occupying power in southern Syria, carrying out near daily violations that include ground incursions, land clearing, the arrest of civilians, and the confiscation of property.

As the new Syrian state works to restore order in Sweida, a predominantly Druze province, “Israel” has revealed its intention to open a corridor to the area in southern Syria.

Jordan has taken a leading role in containing the Sweida conflict, driven by tribal ties and geopolitical concerns, to preserve Syria’s unity and stability.
