YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHow Israel Sold Out Syria’s Kurds, U.S. foreign policy in Syria, Trump on Sharaa, detainee transfers to Iraq, and Iraq’s security risks are the focus of today’s live stream on Syriana Analysis with William Van Wagenen.
In this episode, we break down the fast-moving shift in Syria’s northeast and ask why the Kurdish-led SDF lost ground so quickly, and what role Israel, Washington, and regional bargaining played in the outcome.
We also examine the new U.S. mission in Syria to transfer high-risk detainees from Hasakah to Iraq and why Baghdad could face serious long-term security, legal, and political consequences as detention files and prisoner management move across borders.
