According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Israeli forces have launched over 800 strikes on Syria over the past week. Meanwhile, the Israeli government has approved a plan to expand illegal settlements in the occupied Golan Heights. "Israel is setting new precedents in the Middle East," says Al Jazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bishara. "It's acting so lawlessly against Syria, as a rogue state basically." Bishara also discusses Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the Syria strategy of other actors in the region, including neighboring U.S. allies that had previously attempted to normalize relations with Assad and extremist groups that have formed partially in response to U.S. aggression.
