The fall of Bashar al-Assad is a historic moment for the Middle East. It’s too soon to know its full consequences. It is not too early to assert that the war Israel has waged against Iran and its proxies in the past year has yielded astonishing results. Hamas is decimated, Hezbollah degraded, Iran stymied, and now the Syrian tyrant has fled. Russia, the primary power behind Assad, retreats to the sidelines. What a hand for a new American administration.
