Assad’s Israeli friend
Alliances between states do not require meetings between leaders, exchanges of ambassadors and declarations of support and affection. Mutual interests that the parties understand and act upon are sufficient.

the Syrian president “must go.” Netanyahu settled for mentioning the
carnage in the neighboring state without naming those responsible or
saying anything about political change in Damascus.
