The multiple goals of the dangerous game between the US and the Zionist regime in Syria.

Following the analysis of the situation in Syria by Arab circles and media in light of recent developments and the expansion of the Zionist regime’s aggression and occupation, Al Jazeera Network examined the dimensions of the plans and goals of the United States and Israel in Syria, which are summarized as follows:

Since the beginning of the terrorist crisis in Syria in 2011, the United States and the Zionist regime have pursued distinct agendas in Syria that have long-term strategic goals, and the two sides have tried to implement their goals through regional competitions and changing geopolitical developments.

But at the heart of this overlap was a broader project, namely, the weakening of Syria as an independent and united country centered on the resistance, to ensure that no regional or global actor can challenge the US-Israeli project in the region.

Israel and the Traditional Project of Dividing the Arab World Through Syria

Meanwhile, while America has prioritized geopolitical dominance and security goals and control over the region’s wealth and energy, Israel, as part of an old strategy aimed at dividing the Arab world and imposing its hegemony on the region, has always sought to divide Syria with all its sectarian and ethnic entities.

This approach of the Zionist regime towards Syria and the Arab region is not new and its roots go back to the very beginning of the establishment of this fake regime in the occupied Palestinian territories; when internal strategic documents from the 1950s, issued by the Zionist Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Mossad, called for the establishment of a Kurdish state in Syria. This view was later embodied in the Yinon Plan in 1982, which was put forward by Oded Yinon, a former official in the Zionist Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The plan called for the division of Syria into areas of religious and ethnic minorities, emphasizing that Syria would be the main threat to Israel on the eastern front in the long term and should therefore be divided into small states.

Yinon’s plan argued that Israel’s security and hegemony in the region depended on the division of Arab states into small, ethnic entities such as Druze, Alawite, Kurd, Maronite, Copt, and other sects. The goal was to replace the strong, centralized Arab states with small, weak, and dispersed states that would pose no threat to Israel and could even later become its representatives.
