The foreign powers to lead a large part of the post-war wobbly peace to Syria while the continuous sectarian violence of rage

The new Syrias government has signed a major peace agreement with the main Kurdish group in countries and has seen the southern country bombed by Israeli war aircraft separately. Meanwhile, sectarian violence continued to rage in the coastal regions of the country. And everything that was on Monday alone.

The common thread is the role played by foreign powers in conflicts. The 13 -year civil war of the country, which killed hundreds of thousands of deaths, was driven as much by external forces as by the bleeding possessions of the Syrias. It therefore seems that it will be post-war wobbly peace.

Turkey has become the main winner when the Islamist militia Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham has ousted the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assads on December 8 and has worked since then to consolidate the acting president Ahmed Al-Sharaas on power and through it, the influence of turkeys on the country.

Mr. Al-Sharaa and HTS, which is now the backbone of the National Army of Syrias, are deeply indebted to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has protected and fueled the economy of the northwest region of Idlib while HTS was stuck there for a decade before his march on Damascus three months ago.

But a Turkish predominance Syria disorder some of Ankaras' rivals in the Middle East. Iran and Israel, for very different reasons, have been accused of having tried to destabilize the new Syria, which rebounded between the perceiving moments and the days when it seems on the verge of going back to the large -scale sectarian war.

One of these breakthroughs occurred on Monday when Mr. Al-Sharaa signed an agreement with Mazloum Abdi, head of the Syrian Democratic Forces, a militia dominated by the Kurds who controls a large part of North East Syria which will see the FDF merge all civil and military institutions with the state by the end of the year. The agreement brings Mr. Al-Sharaa closer to the unification of the State under his control.

The pact has been negotiated under pressure from the United States, which has been the main ally of the Kurds since the joint effort to crush the Islamic State a decade ago. The Trump administration, seeking to bring back the 2,000 American troops still stationed in Syria, pushed Mr. Abdi to sign the agreement.

The United States has intervened in recent hours. They are those who reached the homeless, said Moussa al-Omar, a former television journalist who is now an informal advisor to Mr. Al-Sharaa.

The signing of the agreement was greeted by public celebrations in the streets of Damascus. But not everyone was happy to see Mr. Al-Sharaa and his Turkish customers gaining ground.

Shortly after the end of the celebrations, the sounds of Israeli war planes could be heard on the Syrian capital. The Israels Air Force later announced that it had struck radar systems in the southern region of Daraa, imposing a recent statement by the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus that Israel will not tolerate any Syrian military presence south of Damascus. Israel has also widened its occupation for several decades of Syria Golan Heights by entering a new 15 -kilometer control zone in what was previously the United Nations buffer zone between the two countries.

Israel wants to ensure that whatever happens, they no longer have another great Hezbollah at their border, only now in Sunni form, said Imad Salamey, an associate professor of studies from the Middle East at the American Lebanese University in Beirut, referring to the Shiite Militia of Lebanon who fought three wars with Israel. They also want to make sure that the Turks are not the country's absolute leaders.

In Syria, the heart of the Alawite, the fears go up after the mass killings

Al-Omar, on the other hand, said that Iran had delighted the sectarian conflict in the coastal regions of Latakia and Tartus, which started last week with a series of ambushes made by remains of Mr. Al-Assads regime and turned into revenge killings. Photo and video evidence suggests that many of the hundreds of people who were killed were Allawite men, some of whom seem to have been captured before their execution. The old Syrian regime was dominated by the Alawites, which are followers of a sect of Shiite Islam.

Mr. Al-Omar acknowledged that violations were committed during the repression, some of which by Sunni fighters who, according to him, were not under the control of the government. He blamed Iran for provoking violence by providing weapons, ammunition and even planning the regime veterans who launched the initial attacks.

Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Irans, said on Monday that it was ridiculous to blame Iran for bloodshed, adding that there was no justification for attacks against Alawite, Christian, Druze and other minorities in Syria.

The fall of the al-Assad regime deprived Iran not only a major ally; He cut his itinerary to provide weapons to the Hezbollah militia of Lebanons, weakening the front of the whole resistance of Teherans against Israel and the United States

Another country that lost an ally when Mr. Al-Assad was overthrown was Russia, which deployed parts of his air force in Syria in 2015 to support his regime. Recalling this, some Alawites fled to the Russian air base in Latakia this week, looking for protection.

But while the Russian troops allowed those who arrived at the Hmeimim base to shelter there, his war planes did nothing to stop the bloodshed. The Russian president Vladimir Poutines The main interest in Syria has always been and preserves the base of Hmeimim, as well as a naval installation of the Soviet era at the port of neighboring Tartus. It is the favor of Mr. Al-Sharaas, rather than Mr. Al-Assads, that the Kremlin is looking for now.

Hadi al-Bahra, the president of the national Syrian Coalition, a group of forces opposed to Mr. Al-Assad, said that he thought that Syria ultimately concluded an agreement with Russia to allow him to keep his bases in exchange for promises to help the country to rebuild.

Did not try to make more enemies, he said in an interview with Damascus. We need the help of all different countries, all different international organizations.

The main national interest of the Syries, said Al-Bahra, persuaded the international community, including Canada, to raise the paralyzing sanctions that have been imposed on Syria since the civil war epidemic in 2011, as well as personal sanctions targeting Mr. Al-Sharaa as head of HTS, which the United Nations designates as a terrorist organization.

While the European Union and Great Britain recently raised certain sanctions, Mr. Al-Bahra said that many foreign companies and NGOs had been hesitant to get involved in the reconstruction of Syria for fear of falling behind the American sanctions that remain in place.

Until now, there is no sign of what Mr. Syria's policy will be, apart from the expected withdrawal of American troops from the Kurdish areas. They have no Syrian policy, said Al-Bahra. So far, they don't even have their Syrian team in place.
