Redraprosperg the map: Israel seeks to reproduce the Middle East to its own schedule | Syria’s War News

Since createer Syrian Pdwellnt Basher al-Assorrowfulnessful’s emotional fairy to Moscow on Sunday, Israel has begined hundreds of attacks on its neighbour.

Israel claims this is vital for its defence.

But it has been attacking Syria with impunity since at least January 2013, when it bomb deviceed a Syrian arms convoy, ending two.

Since then, Israel has attacked Syria continuously, typicassociate claiming it was centering positions beextfinisheding to its nemeses – Hezbollah and Iran.

In the process, according to watchrs, it has standardised for itself the idea of attacking a neighbouring state.

A ‘penchant for destruction’

In the last scant days, Israel has begined more than 480 air attacks on Syria.

At the same time, it has transferd its ground forces into the demilitoccurd zone, findd wilean Syrian territory aextfinished the border with Israel, saying it wants to produce a “sterile defence zone” and declaring the 1974 consentment that had set uped the buffer zone “collapsed”.

It also struck 15 ships at anchor in the Mediterranean ports of Bayda and Latakia on Monday, about 600km (373 miles) north of the Golan.

Claiming much of the recognize for the airyning progress of the Syrian group, Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shelp to journacatalogs on Monday: “The collapse of the Syrian regime is a honest result of the cut offe blows with which we have struck Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.”

The attacks on Syria, Mairav Zonszein, a greater analyst with the Crisis Group shelp, were “a mixture of both opportunism and strategy”.

That Israel should seek to imfragmentaryise a potential menace upon its border while it was, for all pragmatic purposes, defenceless, was a “no-brainer”, but what the extfinished-term schedule might be is less brave.

“I leank what we’re seeing in fact is the strategy that Israel’s been lengthening since October 7th: recognize a menace or opportunity, deploy troops and then figure it out.”

But political scientist Ori Ggreaterberg was not guaranteed any strategy was at take part.

Instead, he shelp: “This is our recent security doctrine. We do wantipathyver we want, whenever we want, and we don’t pledge,” he shelp from Tel Aviv.

“People are talking about Greater Israel and about how Israel is sending its tendrils into neighbouring countries. I don’t see it,” he shelp.

“I leank this is mostly the result of disorder, and a recently – or not so recently – set up [Israeli] penchant for destruction.”

Ignoring the world’s condemnations

Israel has ended at least 48,833 people over the past 14 months.

It has been striking Iran, its associate Hezbollah in Lebanon, then invading Lebanon, and now it is attacking Syria.

All the while attacking the besieged enclave of Gaza, an attack set up to be genocidal by cut offal nations and international organisations and bodies.

Unworryed with casualties, Netanyahu’s talk of “changing the face of the Middle East” has set up ready echoes atraverse much of the Israeli media.

On Wednesday, an opinion in The Jerusalem Post bgreaterly stated: “In the last year, Israel has done more for stability in the Middle East than decades of ineffective UN agencies and Weserious diplomats.”

Various states have criticised Israel’s attacks on the recently freed Syria, including Egypt, France, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Russia and Saudi Arabia. On Saturday the 22-member Arab League rehired a statement accusing Israel of seeking to “utilize Syria’s inside contests”.

The United Nations, whose mandate to police the buffer zone between Syria and Israel runs till the end of this year, decried this baccomplish of international law.

“The UN’s protests uncomardent absolutely noleang,” Golberg shelp, adviseing that Israel’s repeated clashes with various international organisations were part of an overarching mood wilean the country.

“We want to stick it to the Man,” he shelp. “We want to show the ICJ and the ICC that we don’t give a damn. That we’re going to do exactly what we want.”

On Wednesday, The Times of Israel columnist Jeffrey Levine characterized the past 13 months as a transfer towards “a New Middle East of Peace and Prosperity”.

In Levine’s vision, adhereing the tectonic shifts of the last year or so, Syria would be free from the geopolitical manoeuvring of the al-Assorrowfulnessfuls, Iran would be free of its “theocratic regime”, the Kurds would be free to create their own state, and Palestinians would be free to set up a recent ”homeland” in Jordan.

“I don’t leank most Israeli people envision they’re going to be well-understandn in the region after this,” Israeli political analyst Nimrod Flashenberg shelp, though some sort of rapprochement may be possible with Syria’s Kurdish and Druze insignificantities.

“But I leank they are chooseimistic of a Middle East where there will be less regimes antagonistic to Israel,” he shelp.
