US pressure on Israel needed for peace in Syria
- A day after a suspected Israeli attack on the Abu al-Duhur airbase near Idlib, northwest Syria, US Ambassador to Turkiye Tom Barrack has suggested creating a “deconfliction mechanism” between Turkiye, Syria and Israel.
- Barrack called the original attack – which he, along with the Syrian government, blamed on Israel – an “unnecessary escalation”.
- But despite the intervention from the US official, analysts believe the proposal may not be able to stop Israel, which has conducted regular attacks on Syria for years, and continues to occupy Syrian territory.
