Description
Will the alliance between the militant Palestinian Islamic Hamas Movement and Syria be shaken by the fallout from the unprecedented movement of public protests against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad? Also, will Hamas' landmark reconciliation pact earlier this month with its rival, the moderate Fatah movement, push the militant group to walk out of the Iranian-Syrian axis? If Assad manages to defeat the most serious challenge to his 11-year rule, the popular uprising, that began on March 15 with calls for political reforms and has now evolved into public demands for the toppling of his regime -- the alliance will emerge unscathed. But if the Assad regime is finally brought down by street demonstrations, this is likely to create shockwaves and lead to unraveling alliances in the region. Analysts say the ramifications and fallout of a regime change in Syria will be particularly felt in Lebanon and Palestine, and greatly affect the country's strategic alliance with Iran. Likewise, any regime change in Syria would affect one way or another the 10 militant Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, based in Damascus.
