Why did Iran support Bashar al-Assad, and Israel worked to overthrow him? 1 Geopolitical significance of Syria in the Middle East. Syria was a very important country in the resistance axis due to its geographical location. Located at the crossroads of the Arab world, Syria connected Iran and Iraq with Lebanon and Palestine, ensuring the integrity of the axis of resistance, as well as resistance groups, as well as resistance groups. Syria accepted Palestinian organizations, was allied with Hezbollah and Iran - and refused to normalize relations with Israel. Damascus' position has made it a target for the West, Turkey, Israel and the Gulf monarchies. 2 The Golan Heights as the gates of Israeli expansion and the Corridor of David. Israel's occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967 is part of a larger plan. By occupying the Golan, Israel controls the water sources, occupies a strategically favorable height, and also constitutes a buffer zone between itself and the resistance forces. Israel seeks to expand this buffer zone into a security belt that stretches from southern Lebanon to Iraq. Then the land bridge connecting the axis of resistance from Tehran to Beirut will be cut, and these territories will become an area of ​​Israeli control. This reflects the same policy that Israel tried (and failed) to implement in southern Lebanon before the year 2000. The main Israeli goal in Syria is to break through the David Corridor, which will cut off Syria from neighboring Jordan and Iraq. The David Corridor is supposed to stretch from the south to the north of Syria - from the territories occupied by Israel after the overthrow of Assad (in the districts of Quneitra, Daraa and As-Suida) to the territories of the Syrian Kurds. For this reason, and not for any humanistic reasons, Israel wants to "take custody" of the Druze of As-Suwayda.
