According to Israeli media, after the Israeli military dropped nearly 1,800 bombs on approximately 500 targets in Syria, dismantling the country’s air defenses, Syria could now potentially serve as a base for launching attacks against Iran.
The Israeli military command has stated that they have eliminated the majority of Syrian air defense capabilities.

During Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi’s trip to the UK, it has now been revealed that he was issued a certificate that granted him diplomatic immunity so that he couldn't be arrested. This is now being viewed as an indictment of the British government, who felt the need to issue such diplomatic immunity.

Death "imminent" for 96% of children in Gaza
A survey conducted by the Community Training Centre for Crisis Management (CTCCM) in collaboration with the War Child Alliance found that 96% of children in Gaza believe death is imminent.

Helen Pattinson, CEO of War Child UK, emphasised the severity of the situation, calling Gaza "one of the most horrifying places in the world to be a child."
The Israeli flag is raised over Jabal Al-Sheikh in Syria, representing the beginning of a new occupation of land
Israel immediately violated the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria by invading the buffer zone and seizing more Syrian territory.

While Israel invaded Syria, a high-ranking official of the new regime states that the only enemy is Iran
Ayman Al-Asimi, a member of the Syrian National Coalition and former head of delegations representing the Syrian opposition, states that the only enemy for the new regime was Iran and that now there are no enemies. This is said while Israel continues to invade more Syrian territory, raising its flag and launches routine airstrikes throughout the country.
Kiev provided Syria’s HTS with drone operators in order to fight against the Syrian Army during its offensive
The Ukrainians, who are struggling to defend their own territory amidst the NATO war with Russia, sent specialist drone operators along with around 150 FPV UAVs to aid the successful regime change operation. This has called into question their priorities at such a time, given the struggle for manpower in Ukraine.

Former Qatari PM Hamad al-Thani advises the new Syrian government "not to get preoccupied" with fighting Israel now
After Assad was overthrown, the Qatari billionaire took to X to offer advice to the Syrian rebels. He urged them to refrain from "focusing on Israeli threats and violations." Instead, he suggested they pursue "legal means" through the United Nations.
While conceding that such efforts "might not actually get anywhere," he suggested that it would at least be "taken into account" by the international community.
As Israel's attacks on the region continue, the question of Israel’s “right to exist” is once again at the forefront.
Here are three examples of prominent figures exploring the question in an intelligent manner.
