The new Syrian leaders are islamist / jihadis who succeeded due to an unforeseen outcome of the Israeli War on: Hamas / Hezbollah / Iran / Syria’s Assad
Israel single-handedly crushed their adversaries in the last 14 months of War … after 10/7/23
This provided the Idlib jihadis with an opportunity … a weakened Assad with NO support available from Hezbollah / IRGC / Shia Brigades … just collapsed in days. It was Türkiye that provided HTS with the support and INTEL to takeover Syria
Thankfully … the IDF acted swiftly to destroy ALL munitions / planes / ships / air defense / missiles / missile technology that was just left behind (or destroyed the vast majority of them)
The Syrian leader can put on a business suit but he’s still a monkey in a suit … no one is believing his words / no one is fooled
