"Turkey is the only country that seems to have had a winning strategy for Syria: opposing Assad while negotiating with his backers, hosting refugees, supporting the opposition politically and militarily, and combating the People’s Defense Units (YPG), an offshoot of the anti-Turkey terror group Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), in northern Syria. Ankara now has unrivaled economic, diplomatic, and military leverage over the stabilization and rebuilding process, and the goodwill of an overwhelming number of Syrians. Fourth, the US approach to Syria for the past decade—tolerating Assad and his Iranian patrons, hyper-focusing on the Islamic State, providing humanitarian assistance but ceasing political and military aid to the opposition, giving open-ended support to the YPG/PKK—has collapsed."

I'm sure, as a mod in a position of authority, he won't write lies and propaganda to explain it

Chief of Staff of the Israel Army; Tonight the battlefront will move to Syria. Tonight we will start fighting on the Syrian front and we will not allow someone reach our borders.
This message is for us. I expected this clown to be more forthcoming. lol

Russia has transferred two areas in the Daraa countryside south of Damascus to Israel. -Al Arabiya
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes are busy destroyiing possible Iranian and Mukhabarat archives in Damascus. So it wasn't Assad's beach photos that were the problem, there were others who were caught in bed.Jews are jews
If Israel remains unopposed like this; getting a get away card whenever they swallow/annex other natiosn lands, then they will sooner or later swallow the whole region
Finally, Russia selling Syrian lands to Israel as if it was its backyard indicates their grudges against Turkey since even if the YPG gets destroyed, the Syrian ppl will eventually ask their govt for their lands that were taken by Israel and this means more headache for Turkey
Russia, out of spite, wanna put Turkey into an even greater mess it seems

A perspective on the impact of the Russian collapse in Syria on the global, especially in Africa, worth reading:
The collapse of the Assad regime is for Russia a far worse catastrophe than most realize. It will take me many posts and you will see more and more like this coming the coming days and weeks. Here, I will show the implications on Africa.
As it is well known, one of Russia's "business models" is to prop up dictatorships and putschist regimes all around the globe, including Africa. Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and the Central African Republic are just a few to name of. The Sudanese Civil war is even directly kept on fire by Russia. The latest peace process by the UNSC was stopped by Russia's veto. War and suffering are not only a good business for the Russian war industry, the only operational industry in Russia, but especially for their most infamous mercenary group, Wagner.
In exchange for Russia's help, to prop up those scourge regimes across Africa, Wagner received direct control of lucrative deals for mining operations, especially gold and blood diamonds. The exploitation operations are executed in the most ruthless way, with utter disregard on human life, killing locals and foreigners alike, even Chinese worker. After all, this has always been Wagner number one revenue.
However, logistically, Russia always relied on the Syrian bases to fly out the riches and fly in mercenaries. They always had to pass Khmeimim when going in either direction. It is also safe to assume that much of the operations in Africa were coordinated in Khmeimim. Without this base, all operations in Africa were virtually impossible or the very least much harder to accomplish. And harder means, more expensive.
This "business model" could only thrive for as long as the puppet Assad was in Damascus, which as we all know is history. What this will mean for the putschist regimes and Wagner alike, remains to be seen, but it might give the African people suffering under them and Wagner a new chance to get rid off the Russian influence, the same way as the Syrian people ended it.

Btw,als
That was and is still the plan.

The idea that Israel would plow through Syria to annex the country sounds very juvenile to me.
Controlling vast swathes of lands that has population who is hostile to you is an impossible task even for the superpowers, let alone the little Israel.

Nethanyahu stated that it was a precaution taken until things were clear on where Syria is heading to.
He stated that it was temporary.

Israel is destroying long range missiles and SAMs. Just in case. Think why Turkiye refused to provide such weapons even to its most friendly rebels.
