Turkey’s role in the recent terror attacks on Syria has come to the forefront at a time when the Turkish public openly opposes President Erdogan’s actions. Erdogan previously refused to provide military assistance to Hamas in Gaza, and his stance during the Israeli aggression on Lebanon suggested support for Israel against Hezbollah.
Furthermore, Turkish intelligence allegedly began aligning Sunni Arabs and Maronite Christian factions in Lebanon who blamed Hezbollah for Lebanon’s crisis, claiming Hezbollah’s involvement in the Hamas-Israel war endangered Lebanon. They argue that if Hezbollah had not forced Israeli settlers to leave the Northern areas under Israeli occupation and halted their attacks, Israel would not have launched a ground assault on Lebanon on October 1.
Contrary to tradition, Saudi Arabia and Egypt played a relatively positive role in backing the Resistance movements against Israel. Saudi Arabia, by conditioning the start of talks with Israel on the establishment of a Palestinian state, displayed considerable courage in front of pressures from the US and Israel.
Evidently, the global balance of power is changing, and efforts are being made simultaneously on both military and economic fronts to end America’s oppressive hegemony. The BRICS’s ongoing effort to de-dollarize their economies and introduce a new currency highlights the imminent collapse of the imperialist order. In response, the newly elected US President Donald Trump had no option but to make empty threats of imposing 100% tariffs on the group if they chose a new currency for transactions instead of the US dollar.
Meanwhile, in Syria, a joint operation by Syria, Russia, and Iran is purging terrorist groups from areas in Aleppo. According to the latest figures, over 1,600 terrorists have been killed in Syria.
During the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon, Israel pressured Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to close the highway connecting Syria to Lebanon, through which, it argued, Hezbollah was receiving weapons. However, despite Israeli air strikes damaging the highway, President Assad refused to close it.
Diplomats in Damascus state that the US and Israel repeatedly promised to cooperate with President Assad’s government in exchange for shutting down the highway, but Assad’s steadfastness and patriotism thwarted their plans. This is why Israel and its ally, the US, now view Assad as an obstacle and aim to punish his government through terrorists. They know that the Damascus government is firmly entrenched and cannot be overthrown by a small terrorist force.
