In Syria, Israel’s role was limited to airstrikes targeting Iranian and Hezbollah forces near its northern border. These actions were not aimed at overthrowing Assad but at containing Iran’s military entrenchment. The regime change was driven by a mix of internal opposition and the involvement of powers like Russia, Iran, and Turkey. Israel neither supported jihadist rebels nor played a leading role in the conflict’s outcome. In Iraq and Libya, Israel was not a participant. The 2003 invasion of Iraq was a U.S.-led initiative focused on toppling Saddam Hussein. While Israel viewed Saddam as a threat, it had no direct role in the invasion or occupation. Similarly, during the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, Israel was absent. The effort to remove Gaddafi was led by the United States, France, and the UK, with no evidence of Israeli involvement or strategic interest in the operation. The emergence of ISIS and al-Qaeda is rooted in the collapse of state authority in Iraq and Syria, as well as long-standing sectarian divisions. Israel has treated these groups as threats and taken military action against affiliates when necessary, particularly in the Sinai and Golan Heights regions. Accusations that Israel supported jihadist factions are once again unsubstantiated. Its focus has remained on curbing Iranian influence rather than enabling Sunni extremists. In Yemen, Israel’s role has been minimal. It conducted airstrikes in 2025 on Houthi targets after missile attacks linked to Iran. These operations were a direct response to threats against its territory, not part of the broader Saudi-led intervention. Overall, Israel’s military actions in the region are shaped by specific security concerns rather than efforts to dominate or destabilize neighboring countries. The idea that it is responsible for most Middle East violence is not supported by the available evidence. These broad statements that have no nuance seem biased to me. In a region that has been in conflict since its inception I find it strange to blame the only democracy while absolving all of the genocidal terror states and dictators.
