Part 7/9:
Concerns have been raised about external powers exploiting internal tensions. Iran's influence remains prevalent, but the potential for other nations, such as Israel, to take advantage of instability exists as well. The risk of a partitioned Syria has grown, fueled by events happening in southern cities as international players maneuver for leverage under the guise of protecting minority groups.
The perceived urgency for international intervention risks overshadowing the underlying harmony historically present in Syrian society. Analysts caution against amplifying these divisions, urging both authorities and the broader population to highlight positive narratives and build on common ground.
