YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIsrael is not “defending” its borders in post-Assad Syria – it is redrawing the map. In this episode of Syriana Analysis, Kevork Almassian breaks down Israel’s long-term strategy in southern Syria: from the expansion beyond the occupied Golan Heights into the so-called “buffer zone”, to Netanyahu’s open push to keep Syria, Lebanon and the wider region weak and fragmented.
We examine how the collapse of the old Syrian state, the weakening of Hezbollah and the pressure on Iran created an unprecedented opportunity for Tel Aviv to entrench military and political hegemony. What does this mean for the new Syrian leadership under Ahmed al-Sharaa? How much leverage does Damascus really have when Israel controls the skies, the border, and key communities like the Druze in Jabal al-Arab?
Drawing on historical context, field reports and expert analysis (Joshua Landis, investigative threads, and regional commentary), this stream explores:
• The expansion of Israeli control beyond the 1974 disengagement lines
• The use of “security” and “buffer zones” to normalise occupation
• Israel’s goal of permanent air superiority over Syria
• The role of the United States, Trump, and Gulf allies in locking in a new regional order
• Why a demand for absolute security for Israel creates absolute insecurity for Syrians and the region
