According to the Saudi newspaper Elaph, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has reached out for Israeli assistance in his ongoing war against Syrian rebels. The report states that one of Assad’s aides, currently in Europe, conveyed the message to Israeli political and security officials.
As per the report, Assad requested support from Israel in his struggle against the rebels operating within Syria. In return, he reportedly offered cooperation in exchange for Israeli backing to help him maintain his rule in the face of opposition forces.
Israel, in response, set a condition of its own: the withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria. As of now, it remains unclear whether any understanding has been reached on this matter.
