Nournews: The visit of David Lammy, the UK Foreign Secretary, to Damascus after 14 years and his meeting with Jolani, the leader of Tahrir al-Sham, is a warning sign for the region. Britain, under the pretext of providing £95 million in aid to Jolani’s administration, has resumed its relations with Syria. It had previously stated openly that it would use any means necessary to protect its assets and interests. Lammy’s movements in Syria and then Lebanon are part of a broader strategy—one that could mark the beginning of a managed chaos in the region.
Britain’s dark history of terrorism sponsorship
A glance at history reveals that Britain has long been involved not only in direct colonization but also in the creation of sects, deviant movements, and support for terrorism. From London’s role in the fabricated famine in Iran during World War I to its hosting of terrorist groups and backing of inhumane U.S. sanctions, the UK's record is filled with divisive and criminal actions. Its open support for Jolani, with his terrorist background and that of Tahrir al-Sham, indicates a coordinated series of moves to regenerate terrorism in the region—this time possibly under more complex schemes.
Britain: From a mask of diplomacy to open support for Israel
The UK’s traditional policy of maintaining the appearance of neutrality toward the Zionist regime has now given way to explicit support. London has not only joined the U.S. in intercepting Iranian drones and missiles aimed at Israel but has also passed laws labeling pro-Palestine groups such as “Action for Palestine” as terrorist organizations—effectively suppressing all dissent against Zionist crimes. Its arms exports to Israel and support for Jolani’s normalization with Tel Aviv must be understood within this framework. Britain is clearly accelerating the normalization process with Israel and aiding in the fragmentation of regional states.
A new Sykes-Picot: Crisis engineering in the Middle East
Clear signs point to the implementation of a new Sykes-Picot plan led by the U.S., Israel, the UK, France, and some Arab states. Part of this project involves the partition of countries; another part involves forced normalization with Israel. Lammy’s trip to Damascus and Beirut, coinciding with U.S. and Arab pressure to disarm Hezbollah and pull Lebanon into the Abraham Accords without ending Israeli occupation, fits into a larger puzzle. Economic incentives and threats of further sanctions on Lebanon are part of this so-called crisis engineering. Media portrayals of Jolani and Joseph Aoun alongside regional appeasers signal a dangerous scenario that could shake the entire region’s security.
