Several Israeli media outlets have said, “The idea of dismantling Syria is no longer realistic”, adding, “The long and stable rule of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which brought stability to Syria, is an ironclad fact."

The Israeli "Makor Rishon" website underlined, in an article, the Gulf Arab regimes' current openness to Syria after acknowledging their failure to fray Syrian-Iranian ties.

The website highlighted the fact that Saudi Arabia is conducting a dialogue with Syria to normalize relations, while the Emiratis and Bahrainis are working with the Syrians for a variety of reasons, including a desire to "weaken Iranian power."

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett vowed to keep working to "wind down the Iranian presence in Syria," reiterating “Israel's” commitment to maintaining its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.

Bennett's remarks came as some Arab countries launched negotiations with the Syrian government on a variety of issues, the most recent of which was the restoration of contact between Damascus and Amman, as well as an agreement between the UAE and Syria to expand economic cooperation.
