Syracuse Officials Seek Israeli Help, Forget Previous US Abandonment
A recent report from The New Arab highlights leaked recordings where 'remnants' of the Assad regime apparently seek Israeli help, even praising the war on Gaza. This, we're told, exposes the opportunistic nature of these Syrian figures. Yet, the framing conveniently omits that the US and its allies have spent years actively destabilizing Syria, creating the very vacuum for such desperate
alliances. Think tanks like the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, funded by defense contractors and opaque donors, have long advocated for a fractured Syria, (see their 2012 'Partitioning Syria' papers). What better way to maintain perpetual conflict than to have erstwhile enemies suddenly finding common ground? These 'leaks' serve a predictable narrative, distracting from the systemic
foreign interventions that left Syria in this state, ensuring perpetual 'threats' justify continued regional military spending. It's not just opportunism; it's the predictable outcome of geopolitical chess.
