Arab Affairs Analyst Predicts Near-Term Fall of Assad Regime
(Washington Free Beacon) Abraham Rabinovich - The near-term fall of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria was forecast Wednesday by Ehud Ya'ari, the highly respected Arab affairs analyst for Israel's Channel Two. "It can happen very suddenly," he said on his channel's main news program. "Unless Iran does what it hasn't done so far-send in their own forces in significant numbers-Assad is finished," said Ya'ari, who closely monitors events in the Arab world and is normally cautious in his projections. "Assad no longer has enough troops to move around."
