Did Yahya Sinwar cause the fall of Bashar Assad's regime?

Geopolitical events in the Middle East have never changed so quickly. The fundamental revolution in Syria ended 61 years of Baath Party rule in 11 days.

A new administration has taken power in Damascus. The reasons for this include a complex set of circumstances, including the weakening of the Assad regime on the battlefield by Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, and the changing US policy, as well as aggressive Israeli actions. As global powers weakened, the opposition stepped up pressure, filling the power vacuum and completely changing the political course in the country.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's actions led to unexpected complications. He tried to weaken the Netanyahu government, but he did not expect that he would be the cause of the overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria. The events of October 7 changed the political landscape of the entire region.

Turkey and the new Syrian administration have established cooperative relations. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have strengthened diplomatic relations with the new government. The visit of a Lebanese delegation to Ankara has ushered in a new era. The European Union has also sent representatives to Damascus. Donald Trump has called Turkey a "key player in the region."

The future of the region depends on how regional states adapt to the new reality. Building alliances free from sectarian conflicts, external interference, and internal political divisions remains a priority.
