The fall of Assad’s regime and its global impact
Dec. 11
The collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime has prompted a punishing military response from Israel, which has launched airstrikes at military targets across Syria and deployed ground troops both into and beyond a demilitarized buffer zone for the first time in 50 years.
During a rare press conference on Monday, December 9, 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the collapse of Assad’s regime was “a new and dramatic chapter.”
Professor Daniel Rothenberg, Center Co-Director and Professor of Practice for the School of Politics and Global Studies at ASU, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the global implications.
