Russia in Syria and its Consequences on Israel

The entrance and presence of Russia in Syria was the beginning of a new era, especially for Israel's Zionist regime. Israelis’ thought and desire was that after the collapse of the Lebanese, Jordanian, West Bank and Gaza armies, the Syrian army would became a part of history, so that the Israeli army would become a single and a privileged player. To a large extent, this aspiration of Israel is crystalized and now there are three groups of Israel’s opponents (the Free Army, radical Salafists and the army of Bashar al-Assad) have been attack each other in a worst way and are drained. By explaining the actions of Russia in Syria, this paper describes the consequences of this strategic game on Israel's position.
