This documentary study aims to construct a comprehensive picture of the challenges Syria faces under the Israeli divisive trajectory, which is inseparable from the Zionist vision of fragmenting the Arab region as a whole and establishing independent ethnic, religious and sectarian entities that require Israel’s support and protection, or at least its acquiescence.
The study, prepared by Ibrahim ‘Abdul Karim and published by al-Zayotuna Centre for Studies and Consultations, examines aspects of the early Zionist efforts to partition Syria within a colonial context, providing illustrative examples drawn from traditional Israeli plans for dividing Syria, the strategic considerations and implications perceived by Zionism and Israel, and some Israeli partition proposals during the Arab Spring and Syrian revolution (crisis) and the subsequent post-Assad period. It further analyzes the case of the “Salahuddin/ David’s corridor,” a revived older formula that has been reintroduced into discourse.
The study explores Israel’s prospective bets on Syria’s partition and the “realistic” options available to the Syrian regime in response.
Although discussions have emerged regarding the possibility of reaching a security agreement between Israel and Syria, this study assumes that such an agreement would neither generate an internal restraint nor an external deterrent compelling Israel to abandon its partitionist project. Israel would not adhere to any limitation, given the inseparable relationship between its ideology and practice and the consistency of its strategic approach toward Syria.
