That's true Asad was a disaster, however What do you think of current Syrian leader & setup with respect to Syrian people specifically and do you think they are pro Israel as some commentary has suggested? How popular they are in Syria, and are people hopeful of future with this new regime?. Has Israel taken some Syrian territory ?
I know Iran played negative rule supporting a dictator, but in current Iran - Israel war, which side an average syrian is supporting ?
tbh its way too early to know what the new Syrian government will really look like rn, they are in a transition period, no permanent government has been setup yet, and the interm goverment is on a charm offensive to show the world that they will be responsible state actors, most people are cautiously optimistic but its impossible to tell since they've been in control for only 6months and are still dealing with separatist marxsist Kurds occupying the east of the country and alot of its wealth, backed by American firepower.
People however are very optimistic about the future for the first time in generations, we already know what we got with Assad, we dealt with his criminality for 50 years, at least now we have an opportunity at a better life and hopefully progress now he's gone. No one knows for sure it will be better, but it can't be any worse. The new government is definitely not pro-Israel, thats just some BS alot of Iranians are using to justify their intervention and their support for their criminal Assad, they will throw that label on literally anyone that opposes them or their allies, its the only schtick they have to garner support of ignorant Muslims around the world, but it certainly is not true.
Israel has invaded us and taken some territory in the south at the very beginning when Assad was toppled, they claim its a buffer zone but we know its BS and they're taking the opportunity in the chaos of regime overthrow to steal even more land. They also went on a massive country wide bombing campaign to destroy whatever military assets were left over, mostly AD and airforce stuff, also large ammunition depots.
The average Syrian right now hates Iran as much as they hate Israel. Prior to Iranian intervention in our civil war Syrians were all mostly very pro-iran but the mood understandably shifted they got involved on the wrong side of history and our war dragged on, leading to immense damage to our nation. But at the end of the day, all Syrians understand Israel is out eternal enemy, they always been and will always be, so mood can shift to prewar sentiment over time and generations. Right now however, most are just sitting on the side lines, this memes best describes the Syrian peoples mood about this conflict:
