In a region long defined by instability and hostility toward the Jewish state, a dramatic shift is underway — and it did not happen by accident.
A recent survey in Syria indicates that nearly half of Syrians now favor normalizing relations with Israel. Even more striking, a large majority reportedly supports disarming Hezbollah — Iran’s most powerful proxy in the Levant. This would have been unthinkable only a few years ago.
Meanwhile, Iran stands at its weakest point since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The regime faces mounting internal dissent and a global exile community that openly demands change. Inside the country, brave citizens have repeatedly risked — and in many cases sacrificed — their lives in pursuit of freedom from clerical rule.
Tehran’s ability to project power across the region has been severely degraded.
