However, both Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and China’s escalation of its rivalry with the United States have poured cold water on this belief. European politicians, who for years had declined even to discuss great-power competition, have been jolted into action.Please join Peter Rough, director of Hudson’s Center on Europe and Eurasia, for a book

Is Israel the Biggest Loser of the Syrian Civil War?

Hudson Institute Events Podcast ·

2023/07/07

Thanks to the survival of the Bashar al-Assad regime, Iran has established a permanent position in Syria. From this position, Tehran spreads its influence in the eastern Mediterranean and assists other malevolent actors, such as Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In a new essay, Israeli Middle East analyst Ehud Yaari cites these factors, among others, as proof that Israel is “the biggest loser” of the Syrian Civil War.
