Syria's Unstable Peace: Expert Warns of Looming Crisis

Syria's Shifting Sands: An Interview with Dina Lisnyanskaya The ongoing conflict in Syria continues to defy easy solutions. Recently, an interview with Dina Lisnyanskaya, a leading expert on the region, shed light on the complexities of the situation, particularly concerning the challenges faced by the rebel leader, Dzholani. The interview, conducted in Israel, highlights the internal struggles within Dzholani's ranks and the broader geopolitical implications. "The situation is incredibly fluid," Lisnyanskaya explains, "Dzholani's attempts to bridge relations with the West have created friction within his own ranks." This internal division is exacerbated by the changing dynamics of regional power plays, with countries like Qatar and the Emirates attempting to influence events through financial means. The interview also reveals the ongoing conflict between Dzholani's forces and the Alawites. The deep-seated animosity, fueled by years of conflict, continues to destabilize the region. Lisnyanskaya notes that "the Alawites are not easily appeased, and the cycle of violence is difficult to break." Israel's role in the conflict is also discussed. While Israel focuses on maintaining its own security, there are ongoing conversations about potential normalization in the region. However, these efforts are hampered by the persistent instability and the complex web of alliances and rivalries. The interview offers a sobering assessment of the situation in Syria, highlighting the deep-seated divisions and the challenges to achieving lasting peace. The insights provided by Lisnyanskaya underscore the need for a multifaceted approach to address the multifaceted nature of this protracted conflict.
