Syria: A Nexus of Geopolitics, Trade, and Historical Ambitions

The Middle East, often labeled the cradle of civilization, continues to be a focal point of global geopolitical tensions. Syria, a country with a rich cultural history, finds itself at the crossroads of these conflicts. While the mainstream media highlights the ongoing civil war, terrorism, and humanitarian crises, there is a significant, often overlooked dimension: the role of Syria and its neighbors in the drug and oil trade, facilitated by powerful international players. These dynamics intersect with broader geopolitical agendas, including the contentious vision of Theodor Herzl’s "Greater Israel" and recent developments under Israeli leadership.
