No. Syria is a failed state because of over a decade of Russia's inept interference. Israel and the US had little to do with Syria during this time-frame. Much less than what Russia was doing. Now, Saudi Arabia was a major player in supporting Syrian rebel forces who sought to overthrow the Assad's regime. Russia was propping up the Baath minority's brutal power regime devoting a huge amount of its resources to this endeavor.Cannonpointer » Yesterday, 4:12 pm » wrote: ↑ The terror state alliance - US, SAUDI ARABIA, ISRAEL, succeeded in Syria. It is no longer a country. It's a failed state where a Christian genocide is taking place - by the "moderate rebels" (yes, out state sponsor of terror government used the word moderate to modify the word rebel). I'd say they're drawing the wrath of Egypt and Iran, too. Perhaps they will get genocided.
Israel didn't see Assad as any better or worse than whatever new Islamic regime took its place. All Israel really cared about was stopping Hezbollah and IRGC military installations inside of Syria. Other than that, Israel eat popcorn until it got a hardon spotting IRGC logistics and weapons stockpiles. The US was a bit more involved (ineffective) in trying to steer Syria to rid itself of all of this foreign influence, at the time, mostly because of our interests in Iraq.
