Senior Assad commander reveals plan to destabilise Syria to 'fake Israeli agent'

Leaked audio recordings reportedly reveal a senior commander from Syria's former Assad government, Suheil al-Hassan, discussing plans to destabilize the country. In the recordings, published by Al Jazeera, Hassan is heard speaking with a person he believes is an Israeli Mossad agent and expresses openness to coordinating with Israel. The alleged plot involves carving up Syria between Assad remnants and Israeli forces, with Hassan also implicating Syrian tycoon Rami Makhlouf. These revelations come after the fall of the Assad government and Israel's expansion of territory in southern Syria.
