- Israel lobbies US to keep Syria weak, decentralised, sources say
- Israel supports Russia’s military presence in Syria, sources say
- Israel concerned about Turkey’s influence in Syria
BEIRUT/WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Israel is lobbying the United States to keep Syria weak and decentralised, including by letting Russia keep its military bases there to counter Turkey’s growing influence in the country, four sources familiar with the efforts said.
Turkey’s often fraught ties with Israel have come under severe strain during the Gaza war and Israeli officials have told Washington that Syria’s new Islamist rulers, who are backed by Ankara, pose a threat to Israel’s borders, the sources said.
Fuck Israel and US if they do it. Syria is the only one that has the right to decide about this.
Me reading the first paragraph: there’s no way the USA is going to willingly let Russia…
(Remembers who’s in the White House.)
Ah, yeah, so Russia is going to be in Syria as they as they want to be eh?
A destabilized country living under permanent Russian influence is not a recipe for peace and security.
Not permanent, just until Israel colonizes what it wants.
Wow I didn’t have this on my bingo card, but ok
Makes it easy for further
land grabssettler colonies.
in a case like this it’d be preferable for Turkey to station at least some of its forces within Syria to counter threats against Syria from Israel, the US and possibly Russia, don’t know if Turkey would be willing to do so though
No wonder JD Vance is pro-Russian
