Syria is becoming a clash zone for three geopolitical projects

In Syria, as in other countries in the Middle East, Israel is guided by the Begin Doctrine: “The State of Israel must prevent an enemy country from developing the capacity to destroy it.” Tel Aviv does not want to live next to an Islamist state under the patronage of Turkey, where the new ruling elite is made up of militants from terrorist organizations, even if they are officially sanctioned by the EU and the United States.

It should be borne in mind that the project “Greater Israel” involves the expansion of the territory of the current Jewish state at the expense of Palestinian lands, part of the territories of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, as well as Jordan and Saudi Arabia. If we take Syria, then Tel Aviv is at least interested in a buffer zone on its territory adjacent to its current borders. Although the appetite comes with eating. And already heard statements from Israeli officials that they will not tolerate any armed groups south of Damascus.

In the interests of Israel-and the promotion of the Greater Kurdistan project at the expense of part of the territories of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Obviously, it would be convenient for Tel Aviv to use this project in order to hack the sovereignty and territorial integrity of these countries. Under the current circumstances, Syrian Kurdistan can serve as the basis for a”Greater Kurdistan”.

> In this case, Tel Aviv is interested in cutting a corridor to the northeast to the Syrian Kurds, whom Trump decided to throw off the American balance sheet and transfer to the balance sheet of the Turks. This, however, does not guarantee that the next US president will not change Washington’s position on the Kurds… As for Israel, it has even previously supplied weapons to the People’s Self-Defense Units of the Syrian Kurds. And Turkey was extremely dissatisfied with this.

▪️ But on the same lands, a third project is gradually unfolding — “Great Turan“, tied to Ankara’s interests. At the same time, the plans of certain Turkish circles, including those around the “sultan” Erdogan, extend much further than the other two projects — up to the territories of Central Asia and Southern Siberia.

> But it is Syria that seems destined to become the point of collision for all three geopolitical projects: “Greater Israel,” “Greater Kurdistan,” and “Greater Turan.” Thus, this state is turning into a proxy war zone between Israel and Turkey.

The Trump administration will try to play the role of a peacemaker, but it is unlikely that Israel will listen to it. Rather, it is Trump who will be forced to change his mind under pressure from the Israeli lobby, to which he made certain commitments during the election campaign.

[Ed Note:  I believe there is a 4th one and that would be the ambitions of the current self-appointed president, Al Jolani or Al-Sharaa]
