Syria informed Israel it will not accept any restrictions on its right to develop military capabilities

🇸🇾🇮🇱 Syria has informed Israel that it will not accept any restrictions on its right to develop its military capabilities or to form alliances with other countries as part of a security agreement, reports the official Syrian news agency SANA, citing a diplomatic source.
Yes, yes, the Brave Lions of Islam must not be obedient to mere yahoods, when Allah himself decreed the Jews are dhimmis. The problem with those uppity Israeli Jews is that they have a more powerful army than the Syrian members of the Master Religion, and they will only indulge America so far. Now that Syria has spoken, shutting up is their next step.
Syria's immediate priority, according to the report, is the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the front lines prior to the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the full implementation of the 1974 disengagement agreement.
No doubt. Now you need to bell the Israeli cat — see below.
The diplomatic source specified that any future security agreement must also respect Syria's territorial integrity.

Wikipedia:
The Agreement on Disengagement[1] between Israel and Syria, which was signed on May 31, 1974,[2] provided for the continuation of the cease-fire already in effect and for the separation of opposing parties by a UN Peacekeeping Force. The Agreement specifically states that “H. This agreement is not a peace agreement. It is a step toward a just and durable peace on the basis of Security Council Resolution 338 dated October 22, 1973.” [3]

Fifty years later, following the fall of the Assad regime, Israel said it "considered the agreement void until order is restored in Syria",[4] leading to the 2024 Israeli invasion of Syria. Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa reaffirmed his government's commitment to the agreement and entered negotiations for a new security arrangement with Israel in the Golan Heights.
