Syria's Fate and Survival
The book by journalists Sami Kleib and Omar Kayed, *Syria: The Fall of Forever—Can the Country Survive?*, traces the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024, linking it to the disintegration of state institutions and the personalization of power, as well as shifts in the regime’s relations with Turkey, the United States, Iran, and Russia. It also examines the domestic and external factors that paved the way for Operation Deterrence of Aggression. The authors argue that the opposition’s rapid advance resulted from a combination of penetrating the leadership structure, targeting operations rooms, disrupting communications, and operating behind regime lines, alongside the use of air assets and efforts to blunt Russia’s effectiveness. They tie Syria’s survival to the new regime’s ability to confront Israeli, institutional, sectarian, military, economic, and regional challenges, as well as the remnants of the former regime. The book concludes that only the future will determine whether the country survives or sinks into “a new forever.”
