Syria’s Profound Internal and Foreign Challenges

Less than two weeks after Bashar el-Assad fled Damascus for Moscow and the IDF destroyed the bulk of the Syrian air, naval, missile, and research and development power, future prospects for Syria both internally and externally remain vague. Who will eventually control it? Will Syria become a sovereign nation in fact and not only in title, as it was when Assad’s rule rested on Russian and Iranian support? Will Turkey call the shots? Can peaceful pronouncements vis-a-vis Israel co-exist with Jihadi ideology?

To explore all of these issues we are joined by:
- Host : Jonathan Hessen : Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute and Host of TV7 Israel News
- Analyst : Amir Oren : TV7 Editor at Large and Host of Watchmen Talk
- Col. (Res.) Dr. Anan Wahabi: ICT Research fellow at Reichman University, Lecturer at Haifa University, former Strategist for PM Office
- Prof. Russell Berman: Senior Advisor in the US State Dept; Director of the Middle East Project, Hoover Institute*
