It has just been announced that Assad has fled Damascus and that rebels have entered the presidential palace. I remember when Aleppo fell in 2016, and the desolation I felt. This whole week has seemed like an unbelievable dream.
I hope that what is ahead for Syria and Syrians is better than the past, that the different rebel groups can work with each other in rebuilding the country, and that Syrian refugees who want to return will be able to go back to their old homes.
The more than a year that has passed since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 has been a bloody horror with very little light. It seems like the fall of the Assad regime would not have happened without Israel smashing Hamas and Hezbollah, and engaging in open fighting with Iran, along with Russia throwing most of its forces into the war against Ukraine.
