Syria‘s Post-Assad era and recent conflict

In this episode, we dive into the turbulent aftermath of the Assad regime’s fall in Syria as of July 2025. The country now struggles under a fragile interim government caught between internal fragmentation and mounting external pressure. We explore the deepening geopolitical rivalry between Turkey and Israel, whose conflicting goals—Turkey pushing for a unified client state, while Israel prefers a fragmented and weakened Syria—have turned the country into a volatile battleground. With tensions escalating, especially in light of the recent Suwayda crisis, the threat of a direct military clash between these two key U.S. allies looms large. We break down the potential consequences for Syria, the wider Middle East, and the Western alliance system, and discuss future scenarios and strategic paths forward rooted in international diplomacy and conditional support for stability.
