Daily Inspiration Quote by Bashar al-Assad

“It should be known” isn’t a preface; it’s a demand. Assad’s line is built to sound like a settled fact, not an argument, and that’s the point. He’s not trying to persuade skeptics so much as to discipline the narrative: to announce a moral verdict on Israel that audiences in the region are meant to repeat, circulate, and treat as common sense.

“Based on treachery” does two jobs at once. It shifts the conversation from specific policies or wars into an ontological claim: Israel isn’t merely doing something wrong; it is wrong in its very foundations. That framing is politically efficient because it delegitimizes compromise. If the other side is structurally deceitful, then negotiations, treaties, and normalization become naive at best and collaboration at worst. The subtext is a warning to Arab states flirting with pragmatic ties: you are being played.

The choice of “treachery” is also strategic projection. Assad speaks from a regime long accused of betrayal of its own citizens, reliance on opaque alliances, and transactional diplomacy. Accusing an external enemy of duplicity can launder internal credibility: it recasts the speaker as guardian against deception rather than practitioner of it.

Context matters: Syrian leadership has historically used hostility to Israel as both a geopolitical posture and a domestic adhesive, a way to summon unity and justify security-state priorities. In the post-2011 era, such rhetoric can also function as reputational repair, attempting to reinsert Syria into the “resistance” storyline even as the country’s catastrophe has reshuffled what, and who, the region sees as the primary betrayal.
