Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday claimed the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria as a direct outcome of Israel's actions in the region, something analysts in Israel said was only partially true.


The article from MSN discusses how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies inadvertently contributed to the weakening of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, although this was not an explicit goal of Israeli strategy. Analysts suggest that Netanyahu's focus on containing Iran, which supports Assad, led to actions that destabilized Syria. This included airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria, which indirectly undermined Assad's control. The article highlights that while Israel did not aim to topple Assad, the broader regional dynamics and Netanyahu's strategic maneuvers against Iran played a role in the Syrian conflict's evolution. Furthermore, the piece notes that Netanyahu's approach was more about managing threats from Iran and Hezbollah rather than directly engaging in regime change in Syria.
