ARTICLE SUMMARY (2024-12-18)
The path to establishing a new regime in Syria does not seem easy, and things could get worse in the region as a whole, if Israel gets a green light from the United States to launch an attack on Iran.

The first is the current of wealthy Sunni Arabs in the Gulf states and their allies, a current that lives in the embrace of the United States, and sees its interests as closer to it.
Syria currently represents an arena for competition between these four currents, in addition to other nationalist or sectarian currents.
It is repeated during the ongoing negotiations related to the situation in Lebanon, Syria or Palestine, that each of the peoples of those countries is the one who decides its fate and political choices.
There are also Israeli interests, because without Israel’s approval, it will destroy by brute force any reconstruction.
