Syrian rebel leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani on Saturday spoke about Israel for the first time since the fall of the Assad regime on Sunday.
"We are not entering into conflict with Israel," he said. "Israel is using the Iranian presence as an excuse to invade Syria. After the Iranians leave, there are no reasons for foreign interference in Syria."
Last week, al-Julani told CNN, "The seeds of the regime’s defeat have always been within it… the Iranians attempted to revive the regime, buying it time, and later the Russians also tried to prop it up. But the truth remains: this regime is dead."
"I think that once this regime falls, the issue will be resolved, and there will no longer be a need for any foreign forces to remain in Syria," he added. "Syria deserves a governing system that is institutional, not one where a single ruler makes arbitrary decisions."
"We are talking about a larger project – we are talking about building Syria."
