Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera's senior political analyst, discussed Israel's extensive airstrikes on Syrian installations, comparing them to historic Israeli actions justified as security measures. He criticised the hypocrisy of Israel’s security pretext endorsed by Western powers. Bishara explained that Israel aims to destabilise and weaken neighbouring countries for its own security. He noted that the new Syrian administration is overwhelmed and unable to respond effectively. Bishara highlighted that regional powers like Egypt and Saudi Arabia have condemned Israel’s actions.
