I would also say arrogance and internal rivalries but this is typical of all leadership and deep states. In Europe/West/democracies the constant tyrant is the state bureaucracy or in the US the industrial military complex. Regardless of democrats or republicans or political parties those institutions largely stay the same.Biggest problem is non aligned foreign policy, all other things are less problematic.
I don't know how serious the Syrian opposition is about fighting Israel. But it is clear that Israel takes this threat seriously, because Israel continues to attack Syrian weapons depots and violate its borders. And I think that in the long run, HTS and its leaders will be eliminated by the US and Israel themselves.My friend, do you have a short memory? The territory that Israel has taken were guarded/"protected" by the SAA and Russians. Both of those left without a fight? Why? How is that the fault of the Syrian opposition when they did not even have any forces there? We are talking about some mountains with no permanent population. Look at the Israeli videos. Barren mountains.
Did you expect Iraqis in 2003 after the fall of Saddam to somehow expel a potential Israeli annexation of say areas of Al-Anbar next to Ar-Rutbah? It makes nonsense.

Politics are dirty, I agree and I don't like the role of UAE in the region of late under MbZ. But remember, Dubai is just 1 city in UAE with mostly foreigners. There are Emirates in the UAE that are conservative and Islamic, very peaceful and who mind their own business. Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman etc.
As I see it it is mostly just one man (MbZ). His father was one of the most respected rulers in the region for a reason.
Anyway UAE and Turkey have buried the hatched.
Look at the portrayals of official Turkish media:
![]()
Türkiye-UAE relations have made significant strides in all areas: Turkish ambassador to UAE
Over 50 agreements have been signed between the 2 countries over past 3 years, Tugay Tuncer tells Anadolu - Anadolu Ajansıwww.aa.com.tr
Ideally KSA would just annex all those small GCC states, lol.
Syria as a whole do not have the capability to fight Israel after 13 years of civil war. Just like Iraq did not have such capability in say 2017, after 14 years of war and conflict.I don't know how serious the Syrian opposition is about fighting Israel. But it is clear that Israel takes this threat seriously, because Israel continues to attack Syrian weapons depots and violate its borders.

Out of curiosity, how real was the UAE support for the coup in 2016. Do we have any actual solid evidence? Also what was the reason for the hostility to begin with as far back as 2016? From what I recall UAE and Turkey were on the same page in Syria during that time. There was no trouble in Sudan. Libya was also a largely new "thing". So what the hell was going on?Yes, the Turkey vs UAE fight ended in a statemate(or Turkey won in some areas or UAE in others, depending on opinions)
Turkey changed course b/c the situation required it and there was risk of being cornered on multiple fronts out of the tension, so Turkey made peace, but no one has forgotten how brazen Bin Zayed was in actually trying to support a coup inside Turkey or his other schemes, for now Turkey just moves past it, like the tensions with Russia where they killed Turkish soldiers in an airstrike.
