Lebanon's Surrender to Assad's Regime: A New Low for Regional Stability The recent handover of former Syrian army general Major General Adel Issa to Damascus marks a disturbing shift in regional power dynamics, threatening to undermine what little stability has been achieved since Bashar al Assad's regime fell.
This development speaks volumes about Lebanon's willingness to prioritize its relationship with its eastern neighbor over the interests of its own people.
The transfer itself is not surprising, given months of pressure exerted by Damascus on Beirut to act against former government officials who fled their country in search of refuge.
