Are there bigger players involved in this plot?<\/p>\n<p>@mtvlebanon\n<\/p>\n<p>English Script:<br \/>\nWalid Abboud: 8 December 2024, Syria of Assad has fallen and long live a new Syria. 8 December 2024, Syria of Al Baath party has fallen and a free Syria has emerged. O Beirut, rejoice! And O Damascus, celebrate! Cast off the cloak of night and darkness, the cloak of oppression and shadow, and embrace once more the color of the sun and the light of day. Bashar has stepped down, the tyrant extinguished, his regime has fallen, and the dictator is no more. Bashar al-Assad is gone, but the Syrian people remain. Bashar al-Assad fled, but Syria remained. Bashar al-Assad fled, but Lebanon is here, the martyrs are here, and MTV is here. A greeting from Kamal Jumblatt to Sweida, and a greeting from Bashir Gemayel and Ren\u00e9 Moawad to Aleppo, a greeting from Hassan Khaled and Rafik Hariri to Homs, a greeting from Salim al-Lawzi and Gibran Tueni to Damascus, and a greeting from all the martyrs and the living martyrs to every village, town, city, and province in Syria. As you sow, so shall you reap, God and history are the fairest of the just.<br \/>\nJohn Sawers: For Israel, they\u2019re watching this carefully. After the 1973 war, when Israel occupied the Golan Heights, that part of Syrian territory. That&#8217;s actually been quite quiet. One of the good things for Israel in the last 50 years is that they haven&#8217;t had problems on their border with Syria. They will be nervous about this. They&#8217;ve had a sort of implicit understanding with the Russians that the Russians would help ensure that the Syrian regime would prevent, attacks across the Golan Heights from Syria. And in return, the Israelis have done nothing to undermine the Syrian regime is a sort of dirty, unwritten deal between Israel and Russia. But the Israelis now will be watching with great uncertainty about what&#8217;s happening, and they&#8217;ll probably be planning what Phil Collins was describing, which is a worst-case scenario of this going badly wrong, and Syria breaking up into smaller units with armed groups who could well turn that fire on Israel at some point. I think that&#8217;s less likely at the moment, but it&#8217;s certainly not impossible, and the Israelis will be watching this very carefully indeed. I think the Israelis are going to have to come to terms with Turkey on this, because Turkey is going to be the main power broker.<br \/>\nPiers Morgan: Let me just start with your overview of what is happening in Syria and how significant you think it is.<br \/>\nJeffrey Sachs: I think it&#8217;s interesting, as you pointed out. The U.S. calls HTS a terrorist group, but obviously the U.S. is a part of what&#8217;s happening these days. Jake Sullivan said, well, yes, it&#8217;s a terrorist group, but it is giving Assad a run for his money. Wink, wink. This is a U.S., Israel, Turkey operation. It is part of Netanyahu\u2019s long-term game plan that goes on for 30 years to overthrow governments throughout the Middle East that backed the Palestinian cause, and they did apparently catch both the Russians and the Iranians and the Syrians off guard, with this maneuver in recent days. At least that&#8217;s what seems to be the case, but I&#8217;m sure that this is an Israel, U.S., and Turkish operation. Turkey has its own issues in this with the Kurds in Syria, for Israel, this is standard fare, overthrow governments in the neighborhood, expand the war, draw the United States in, and the U.S. is always available at Israel&#8217;s behest, to play games and expand wars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daizy Gedeon (@daizygedeon) The downfall of the Assad regime and his brutal dictatorship is a celebration not just for Syria, but&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,35,37,33,1],"tags":[108],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":["post-9629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-daizy-gedeon","category-israel-hamas-war","category-israel-hamas-war-live-updates","category-middle-east-news","category-uncategorized","tag-american"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9629"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=9629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
