The collapse of Assad’s regime disrupts Iran’s regional influence, particularly its land corridor connecting Tehran to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

This corridor has been crucial for Iran’s support of proxies, including Hezbollah, which has suffered significant setbacks in recent conflicts.

Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump weighed in on the developments, urging non-intervention. In a post on TruthSocial, Trump wrote:
“Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”

Opportunities for Progress in Gaza

The upheaval in Syria has also created opportunities for progress in Gaza.

 The Biden administration is leveraging the changing dynamics to push for a ceasefire and hostage release agreements. However, negotiations remain challenging. 

Hamas has demanded an end to the war and the withdrawal of Israeli troops in exchange for hostages, while Israel insists on maintaining a military presence during a temporary ceasefire.
