Who was the president of Syrian Arab Republic in 1915?
There was no Syrian Arab Republic in 1915. Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1919 and the land that is currently called Syria was not under one administrative region, but rather four: Wilayat Dimashq, Wilayat Halab, Wilayat Beirut, and the autonomous Sanjak of Zor. It is worth noting that all of Syria was part of one of these four provinces, but that these provinces did not only consist of Syria. Their territories bleed into Israel, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, Iraq, and Turkey. This is because the Ottoman boundaries have almost nothing to do with those established by the Sykes-Picot Agreement which established the modern national borders.

What are the ethnic problems in Syria?
Syria's ethnic problems primarily stem from tensions between various groups, particularly the Sunni Arab majority and the Alawite minority, which has been dominant in the Assad regime. Kurdish populations in the northeast seek autonomy and have faced repression, while other ethnic and religious minorities, such as Christians and Druze, navigate their precarious positions amidst the conflict. The civil war exacerbated these divisions, leading to violence and displacement, as different factions vie for power and representation. Overall, these ethnic tensions complicate the prospects for a unified and peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.

Will a war break out between Syria and Israel?
Answer 1
The war with Syria and Israel had already started when Israel send some airplanes to a Syrian compound which they claim that compound is where Syria and North Korea are "exchanging" nuclear weapons. Some Syrians, even Israelis, didn't see any destruction of the compound. That came to a declaration of war.
Answer 2
The Syrian Regime and Free Syrian Army have enough issues with each other and the other parties in the Syrian Civil War to worry about Israel for the moment. Israel, conversely, does not wish to enmesh itself in the Syrian Civil War because of the mangled disaster and tragedy that was Israel's intervention in the Lebanese Civil War.
Conversely, ISIL, which controls parts of Syria far away from the Israeli border, has argued that it is their intent to overrun all of the Middle Eastern borders and directly mentioned "Occupied Palestine", which is a term often used in the Arab World to refer to Israel, as one of the territories that they plan to overrun. While Israel certainly regards ISIL as an enemy, there are currently no intentions by the Israeli government to directly intervene in the Syrian Civil War (which includes ISIL).

The Maccabees, a group of Jewish rebel warriors, successfully reclaimed Jerusalem and established a period of Jewish autonomy known as the Hasmonean dynasty.
