Bashar al-Assad was killed in 1994 in what the Syrian government described as a car accident.

Bashar was the next oldest son of the late Syrian dictator, Hafez .

Bashar 's fall was a blow to Moscow and Tehran , but the flip side of this is the liberation of Syrians who joined with HTS , in particular, to carry on the uprising they began in the spring of 2011 .

For Israel , the collapse of Iran ’s position in the region is no doubt satisfying, but now Jerusalem is confronted with the possibility of an Islamist -led government in Damascus .

The Israelis regarded Hafez al-Assad , in particular, as a formidable foe, but one that understood the importance of stability along the Syrian -Israeli frontier.

Turkey is the only neighbor to potentially gain from Assad 's fall.

To get involved in the revolution unfolding in Syria is unlikely to help Syrians or advance American interests.
