Beyond Syria - The Grand Strategy

The Middle East has always been a crucible of strategic competition, its significance underscored by its historical role as the cradle of civilization and its modern importance as a nexus of energy resources and trade routes. The revelation by General Wesley Clark about a U.S. plan for regime change in seven countries highlights the calculated strategies employed to shape this region's future. However, beyond this narrative lies a broader and more ambitious vision: the expansion and consolidation of Israeli power under the long-term goal of Greater Israel, as envisioned by Theodor Herzl. This Machiavellian strategy, often obscured by immediate conflicts, integrates historical ambitions, economic imperatives, and geopolitical maneuvering to reshape the Middle East.
