**Türkiye’s Support for Rebels Increases Influence in Syria: “Reconstruction Cooperation”**
As the civil war ends after 13 years, Syrian refugees are flocking to the borders, aiming to return home.
**[Mohamed Al Hamid / Syrian Refugee: We hope for safety and security in Syria, for it to regain its former state and begin reconstruction.]**
Finally, Türkiye is able to send back millions of Syrian refugees. With the victory of the rebels it has supported, Türkiye can now expand its influence over Syria in the Middle East.
The anticipation for Syria’s reconstruction has even led to a surge in the stock prices of construction companies.
In contrast, Iran, which has supported the Assad regime, is in a difficult situation. After suffering severe losses in the Gaza conflict and the collapse of the Syrian regime, the pro-Iran “Axis of Resistance” in the Middle East faces the risk of crumbling.
Russia, which had granted asylum to President Assad and his family, also faces significant setbacks. Russia’s naval base and military airfields in Syria, serving as its gateway to the Mediterranean, face uncertain safety.
**[Dmitry Peskov / Kremlin Spokesperson: Of course, our military is taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of Russian military bases in Syria.]**
Israel is benefiting from this situation. It has seized the opportunity to occupy the buffer zone in the Golan Heights and advance into Syrian territory.
Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Israel’s role in the downfall of the Assad regime due to the war and is optimistic that this will aid in hostage negotiations.
Amid these developments, the US White House National Security Advisor is also expected to visit the Middle East, raising attention to whether there will be any progress in the Gaza war ceasefire negotiations.
