Afrasianet - Ilhami El Meligy  - The battle of Syria is not the battle of its people alone, but the battle of every Arab who believes that homelands are indivisible, and that the fate of the nation cannot depend on the interests of external powers.

With armed groups led by Jabhat al-Nusra and other Turkish- and U.S.-backed organizations controlling most of Syria's geography, with the exception of areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a new regional and international project aimed at dividing Syria is emerging.

The statements of the Zionist Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa'ar, in which he described "a united Syria as no longer realistic" and his call to build independent entities for Syrian minorities, represent a clear declaration of the Zionist plan to fragment Syria and impose new facts that serve the strategic interests of the Zionist entity.

These developments coincide with  the announcement by the "state" of the Zionist entity to end the 1974 disengagement agreement, and its occupation of large areas of Mount Hermon, in an escalatory step aimed at exploiting the state of chaos to achieve geopolitical gains and strengthen its hegemony over the region.

The alliance of interests: America, Turkey and the Zionist entity in the implementation of the partition project

The near-total dominance of armed groups in Syria could only have been achieved through intensive and systematic support from Turkey and America, ranging from funding, arming, and media coverage, to providing political platforms for these groups.

Turkey used its geographical position to support these factions and turn northern Syria into a starting point for its expansionist project under the pretext of "protecting its national security." The United States has provided political and diplomatic cover for these moves, focusing on undermining the Syrian state as part of its strategy to weaken Russian and Iranian influence in the region.

In this context, the "state" of the Zionist entity plays a pivotal role in exploiting this chaos to achieve its strategic goals. Repeated Zionist airstrikes on Syrian sites, including military sites and research centers allegedly containing strategic weapons, aim to destroy Syria's defense infrastructure and disrupt any efforts to reunify the country.

The occupation of large areas of Mount Hermon comes within the framework of the efforts of the "state" of the Zionist entity to impose a new reality that strengthens its influence in the occupied Syrian Golan.

This occupation is not limited to the military aspect, but carries political dimensions aimed at eliminating any possibility of the return of these areas to Syrian sovereignty in the future, which is part of the Zionist entity's long-term plan to fully annex the Golan.

The alliance between America, Turkey and the Zionist entity is highly pragmatic, as each of these powers exploits the other to achieve its own goals. The United States is taking advantage of Turkish and Zionist expansion to undermine Russian and Iranian influence in Syria, while Turkey seeks to achieve its expansionist ambitions in northern Syria by supporting armed groups. As for the Zionist entity, it is taking advantage of the chaos to secure its northern borders and weaken Syria as a regional power capable of resisting its projects.

This tripartite alliance is not just an intersection of interests, but part of an integrated project that aims to divide Syria into small and warring entities, serving the strategic interests of each party. The project aims not only to dismantle the Syrian state, but also extends to reshaping the map of the region to ensure the strengthening of American and Zionist hegemony, and the expansion of Turkish influence at the expense of the stability of Arab countries.

Israeli Raids and Occupation

Zionist airstrikes, which claim to target strategic locations, are only a cover for a policy aimed at dismantling Syria's military capabilities. These raids continuously weaken the Syrian army and impede any attempts to rebuild a cohesive defensive force.

At the same time, the occupation of areas of Mount Hermon by the Zionist entity aims to establish a new buffer zone, which would give it a strategic advantage in the face of any potential threats, and secure its control over water resources and strategic heights that are of great importance in any future conflict.

The Zionist Entity and the Federal System: A Step Towards Partition

The Zionist entity's support for the idea of a federal system in Syria is not just a passing position, but part of its long-term regional strategy. This strategy is based on dismantling the region's major central states into smaller entities that fight with each other. Under the pretext of "protecting minority rights," the Zionist entity tries to promote the idea of federalism as a sustainable solution, but in reality it contributes to deepening ethnic and sectarian divisions inside Syria.

The federal system supported by the Zionist entity's "state" in Syria focuses on building separate minority entities such as Kurds and Druze, while keeping these entities in a state of permanent dependence on external support, whether political or military. This model aims to completely dismantle the Syrian state, making it unable to face regional challenges or restore its sovereignty.

The Zionist entity sees federalism as a way to secure its northern borders and weaken the axis of resistance extending from Iran through Syria to Lebanon. Dividing Syria into separate entities also weakens the ties that unite the components of this axis and makes coordination among its members more difficult.

Moreover, the Zionist entity's support for the idea of a federal system is in line with the "New Middle East" plan, which aims to redraw the map of the region to serve the interests of the major powers. This scheme weakens the major Arab states and turns them into a mosaic of small conflicting entities, leaving the Zionist entity the most stable and powerful force in the region.

From Chaos to Partition: The Fall of the Syrian Political System

The de facto fall of the Syrian political system is one of the most prominent manifestations of the international plan to reshape the region. With the regime losing control of most of Syria's geography to externally backed armed groups, Syria has become an open arena for regional and international interventions.

This fall is not only the result of the accumulation of internal crises and armed conflicts, but is also the result of a systematic strategy led by the major powers to weaken and dismantle Syria. American and Turkish support for armed groups, coupled with direct Zionist intervention through airstrikes and the occupation of strategic areas such as Mount Hermon, reflects their determination to implement the partition plan.

The Zionist occupation of parts of the Golan represents the culmination of this fall, as the Zionist entity seeks to exploit the chaos for long-term geopolitical gains. These gains include securing the northern border, controlling water resources in the Golan, and imposing a fait accompli that makes the recapture of these territories unlikely in the future.

In light of these facts, the new Middle East plan, which aims to divide major powers and redraw their borders, has become a reality on the ground. The rising influence of armed groups, the support of external powers for these groups, coupled with the Zionist occupation, shows that the ultimate goal is not only to weaken the political system, but to destroy Syria's national structure as a central state.

Syria's political downfall leaves the country vulnerable to constant interference and condemns it to remain in a state of permanent internal conflict, which serves regional and international powers that seek to achieve their interests at the expense of Syria's unity and stability.

Regional impact: threatening the stability of the entire region

What is happening in Syria is not just an internal conflict, but part of a broader strategy aimed at dismantling and weakening the major Arab states. Zionist statements and field movements clearly show that the ultimate goal is to create a divided and unstable environment that serves the interests of external powers, foremost of which is the Zionist entity.

Syria's unity as an existential and regional battle

What Syria is witnessing today is not just a test of the will of its people, but an existential battle that touches the heart of the Arab cause and puts the Arab peoples in front of a historical challenge: either confronting partition projects aimed at fragmenting and weakening their homelands, or surrendering to an imposed reality that reshapes the region according to the interests of the old and new colonial powers.

Syria today is not just an arena of conflict, but a field of fateful battle between the project of dismantling and partition led by international and regional powers, and the will of the Arab peoples to preserve their identity and unity. Maintaining a united and stable Syria is not only a national duty, but a strategic imperative for the stability of the entire region. Damascus is not just a capital, but a symbol of Arabism and a strategic location that represents the heart of the Middle East.

Meeting these challenges requires joint action that transcends narrow calculations and immediate interests. It is a call to revive the spirit of Arab solidarity, restore the initiative by supporting the axis of resistance, and strengthen ranks to confront foreign agendas that seek to impose a new reality that serves the interests of the Zionist entity and its allies.

Unity is not a tactical option, but an existential necessity. A united Syria is the safety valve against fragmentation schemes and the cornerstone of restoring balance in the region. The response to these challenges can only be achieved through the determination of peoples and their living forces to reject hegemony, work to uncover the facts and nullify the plans that threaten the future of future generations.

The battle of Syria is not the battle of its people alone, but the battle of every Arab who believes that homelands are indivisible, and that the fate of the nation cannot depend on the interests of external powers. Victory in this battle begins with unity of position, and is achieved by steadfastness and steadfastness in the face of strong winds that seek to uproot us and divide our lands.
