Why are Israel and the US Salivating Over Syria’s Break-Up?
18:29 GMT 08.12.2024 (Updated: 18:36 GMT 08.12.2024) The situation in Syria remains complex but recent developments point to potential future scenarios, Stanislav Tarasov, a political analyst and expert on the Middle East and Caucasus region, told Sputnik.
Why did regime change happen so quickly?
Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad has peacefully transferred power to the opposition in line with the Doha agreement days after the militants launched their advance.
"An internal conspiracy was likely brewing within the Syrian leadership and military personnel," Tarasov suggested.
It is still unclear which opposition group will dominate. Tarasov argued that if the secular opposition prevails, Syria will have a secular government. Conversely, if Islamist factions take control, the country may see a Taliban*-style leadership.
Why are Israel and the US interested in balkanizing Syria?
Tarasov believes the odds of Syria's fragmentation are high, with potential scenarios including:
Turkiye taking control of Aleppo and Idlib
The Kurds establishing their own state with backing from Israel and the US
The rest of the country being divided into various enclaves
According to Tarasov, the US and Israel have already started implementing their plan for Syria's fragmentation, as shown by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Regional ambitions and possible risks
Tarasov claims that Israel may be planning to annex Gaza and the West Bank and to fragment Lebanon in order to weaken Lebanese Islamic resistance movement Hezbollah.
*Under UN sanctions for terrorist activities
