Israel had an agreement with Syria. They want to renegade on that agreement, Assad having fled is just an excuse.

That has got to be the most illogical reasoning possible.  Who was the agreement signed with?

I assume all those asylum seekers in UK can now return home?

Some of them might though from what I have read on the BBC News

the current asylum claims are on hold. 

 

There is also the possibility that new Syrian asylum seekers from Assad's regime may also want to stay in the UK as Syria may not be safe for them.

  You dont need to be a soothsayer to realise that the new Syrian regime isn't going to follow the old Assad Syrian regime's rules and agreements .

   They toppled him for a reason, they didn't topple him so they can do the same as he did 

And now more settlements in the area. Another land grab by Israel.

Nope, same land. Wrong again. This is also not about Israel although I know you want it to be.

 

The 'demographic development' plan to increase settler numbers only applies to the area of the Golan Heights that Israel seized during the Six Day War in 1967 and later annexed in 1981 and not to territory taken since al-Assad's ouster.

I don't want it to be about Israel, but unfortunately Israel is making it about Israel.

  The Syrian inhabitants have asked Israel to annex the land and for it to become part of Israel
