Mossad funded foreign fighters and al qaeda to create an interim government in syria with a weak, almost nonexistent military.

The goal is for Israel to take syria while minimizing the possibility of Iranian or russian backlash, and with syria having no army to speak of.

Assad knew what was happening and knew he would have ended up like Gaddafi and his country would have ended up like Libya regardless of what he did, so he jumped ship to keep him and his family safe. No reason to sink with that ship. He saw what happened when Saddam and Gaddafi were martyred.

But its not entirely because these groups are funded by the west alone. The Syrian Baath party made some pretty egregious errors in the 60s that set the entire movement on a crash course towards absolutely fucking dooming itself. If syria, Iraq, and Egypt (and, ideally, the Arab world at large, but let's not get ahead of ourselves) did not have a tumultuous fallout with baathist infighting, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and nasserite Egypt would still be here today and Israel may well not even exist. It'd be a lot harder for the west and Mossad to bring those "uprisings" to fruition. The fight was against world jewry in the middle east. The Syrian Baath party, in particular, lost sight of that for a time, and fucked their relations with Iraq.

I'll give some more background too, explaining the reasons behind this:

Hafez Al-assad was the head guy of the far left faction of baathism (even though it's already a leftist ideology). If we compare Saddam Hussein to hitler, Assad was his Strasser.

It still remained anti jewish of course, as we can see and have seen quite a few times, but assad flirted with marxism extensively. The Syrian baathist party is just an arm of a big tent party in syria, National Progressive Front, which is essentially a united front. It's a mixture of baathists and communists. This was the beginning of hostilities. Baathism is a leftist ideology, but it was never friendly with marxism, despite being influenced by it. Saddam maintained this belief. Hafez did not.

Now, granted, syrian baathism remained anti jewish to a T, I cannot fault them for that. That being said, they completely abandoned arab nationalism and unity with Iraq (Egypt went full retard after the Yom Kippur war, they were a complete lost cause), made ties with Iran (an Israeli asset at the time) and essentially said "fuck you" to Iraq by doing so, and wussed the fuck out of the prospect of getting back at israel after the Yom Kippur war, when Iraq by the 1980s had an army that could have smashed Israel on its own, let alone with both countries allied (or, better yet, united). Iraq held onto the belief that they might be united one day until the late 80s when they changed the meaning of the stars in their flag.
