Syrian Civil War and The future of Syria after liberation

We don't have those ISIS prisoners anymore, they were all transferred to Iraq a few months ago, there are only a handful of them now from recent arrest due to ongoing security operations.

Yeah I remember that but they have been rounding them up again like you said maybe hundreds they’re active again for sure if that maybe not at the height of the Syrian war and again it’s just one theory but why wouldn’t Syria send people they consider undesirable out of the country best move if they did for Syria at least like I said I really don’t see them sending their own people to go to war for Saudi Arabia which isnt lifting a finger to protect them from Israeli attacks or land encroachment but getting paid to send several thousand guys to Yemen that they don’t want I don’t see why not win win

That's what would be interesting to see and what we are all waiting to find out. At least it can strengthen our hands somewhat in dealing with the them. In what form exactly remains to be seen, but any support and strengthening of a coalition on our side against Israel is welcomed news for us.

I’m sorry unless they actually back words with action not going to happen and Israelis aren’t going to let anyone build up any serious military infrastructure in Syria

Because it would reflect poorly on the government, and they've been trying hard to clean up their image internationally and present themselves as responsible state actors. That would go against all the efforts they've done and prioritized to foster and quickly tarnished all the progress they've made so far, and reintroduce the threat of sanctions which will scare away much potential investments and funding.

We already know the Israelis don't want to see Syria ever rise and become strong, and that is what we are trying to overcome. This is an effort to try and see if this would strengthen our hand with a few regional allies directly backing us and committing to it, at least on paper. It's still a significant signal, even if its only that at the moment. Maybe it works, maybe not, but at least we need to try and see how it develops.

I hope Egypt formally joins the Pact at the same time too, that would be another much needed heavy weight, and very strategically situated.
