In a sudden twist no one saw coming—mainly because everyone was too busy doom-scrolling—Syrian government forces have reportedly begun withdrawing from the southern city of Sweida. The move comes hot on the heels of Israel promising to “definitely maybe” protect the country’s minority Druze community, raising questions about what’s next for the ever-creative geopolitical mishap generator known as the Middle East.
“We decided to leave Sweida for strategic reasons, like running out of snacks and realizing our GPS was set to ‘avoid conflict zones,’” announced a Syrian officer, who wished to remain anonymous but responded to emails with “Sent from my secret stronghold (pls don’t tell).” The withdrawal marks the first time since 2011 that the Syrian military tried a “reverse invasion”—a daring tactic involving strategic backwardness.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials pledged to support the Druze, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating, “We will stand by the Druze people—if not physically in Sweida, then maybe with strongly-worded tweets, viral dance challenges, or possibly even a very loud phone call.”
This vow has somewhat confused the Druze community, who are unsure if their deliverance will come via missile defense systems or a TikTok campaign from the Israeli National Security Council. “I just hope someone helps us fix the Wi-Fi and gets my cousin out of army duty,” commented one local. “Everything else is negotiable.”
Geopolitical experts quickly called an emergency meeting to do their favorite activity: shrugging and updating their PowerPoints.
As Syria treads lightly out of Sweida and Israel warms up its hashtags, one thing is clear—navigating the region remains the political equivalent of playing 4D chess on a trampoline, blindfolded, with a cat batting the pieces around. Stay tuned as the Middle East continues to prove that satire struggles to keep up.
