The Meeting Between Assad and Khameini: What was on the Table?

Time to Update Israeli Policy Toward Syria

Israel should (silently) support a more flexible US policy towards the Syrian regime and the Russian presence in Syria, including the easing of sanctions on Syria, in order to decrease Assad’s dependence on Iranian support and to heighten the conflicts of interest between Moscow and Tehran.
