  • President Biden says he weakened Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, laying the groundwork for Bashar al-Assad's ouster. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Syrian leader would still be in power had he listened to American advice.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 11, 2024, discusses the ongoing political and military dynamics involving Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the United States, and Israel. It highlights the U.S. and Israeli efforts to push for Assad's ouster due to his regime's brutal suppression of dissent, its alignment with Iran, and its role in regional instability. The piece details how these countries have been supporting opposition groups, imposing sanctions, and engaging in diplomatic efforts to isolate Assad internationally.

The article also touches on the humanitarian crisis in Syria, the refugee situation, and the broader implications for Middle Eastern politics, including the potential for further conflict or a negotiated settlement.
