    The wild card remains Israel, the neighboring nation the new Syrian government has tried so far in vain to appease.

    are we really re-learning this one?

    Appeasement never works.

    A strange move. Israel had a major opportunity to have sectarian infighting happen. Jolani even said he was going to ignore Israel. But Israel really wants Syria to develop as their enemy as well? This is not how divide and conquer works Netanyahu.

      The conflict is inevitable, israel goals clash with turkeys goal and Jolani is more of a turkish goon. They are going to be a much bigger problem for israel eventually so might aswell nip the bud.

          Russia also supplied the EU with gas so? These are not immutable relations, the “greater israel” project inevitably clashes with the neottomanist project.

            Good point but Russia does not (currently) want to fight the EU. They want to fight Ukraine. And they use EU money to buy weapons. Turkey is doing jack all for Palestine with the pipeline money. Only Iran is. And Turkey even took the opportunity to capture Syria while Iran is busy with Israel.
