Over the past few days, there has been renewed talk about replacing “in-kind subsidies” or “consumer subsidies” with what is being called “cash compensation” or “cash support”.

The “step for step” project, sponsored by the US, for which it employs the Europeans and some Arabs as a front, is still the main password for interpreting many details of what is happening in the Syrian file at the local, regional, and international levels.

Despite the enormous complexity of the scene and its details, the picture of the conflict that the Palestinian resistance is waging is becoming clearer. Among the complex details of the scene, the following basic aspects can be noted:

The Syrian situation becomes more tragic with every additional day that passes without starting a real political solution based on UNSC Resolution 2254.

The Rafah file is almost the number one file, not only at the Palestinian or regional levels, but also at the level of the entire international conflict.

Washington continues its unlimited support for Tel Aviv, including through attempts to suppress American students protesting the genocide, in a continuous and painstaking search for a way out of their common predicament.

The history of student movements in Western countries, and also in the world, teaches us that their deepest causes have always been internal, not external. Although their trigger was often related to foreign policies, as in the case of Vietnam, South Africa, and now Palestine, their deep foundation was always linked to internal crises, especially their socioeconomic and political-democratic dimensions.

Two opinions are being promoted in some media outlets, and within Syrian political and general public circles, regarding the Iranian attack on “Israel” on April 14. The first opinion considers what happened to be mere theatrics directed by the US and performed by both Iran and Israel”, in a similar style to “Tom & Jerry”. The second opinion is that we, as Syrians, have no business in this conflict, and nothing will come to us from it except losses.

Over 190 days have passed since the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation started, followed by the barbaric aggressive war on the Gaza Strip, and all that is happening in parallel of criminal retaliatory behavior in the West Bank and strikes on Syria and Lebanon. It is by far the longest war in the entire history of the Zionist entity, and it has not achieved any of its declared goals. Moreover, its predicament at the various levels is becoming deeper and more complex, while carrying the seeds of a comprehensive change in the entire system of the region. The unprecedented direct Iranian strikes on the Zionist entity are only one feature of that change.
