uh NO.
Iran and russia are propping up assad.
China is seeking to stay out of the conflict, but support Assad's rebuilding after the war out of economic interest
Saudi arabia is against Assad
Israel just wants to keep the war going and is against assad but is more interested in letting the sunnis and shiites kill each other than taking sides

also turkey is kind of at a weird truce with assad where they just want to exterminate the kurds and are tacitly arming the rebels and letting them cross the border, but not engaging assad directly and instead playing nice with Russia despite being on supposedly opposite sides of the conflict. And the kurds meanwhile are against everyone

thanks i was just checking if someone was about to correct it

Israels primary concern is not letting the Iranians set up shop in Syria. Last thing they want is for the Iranians to start building military bases, provide gift baskets to Hezbollah, etc.

It's going to be interesting how this conflict plays out and who's left running the show.

yeah but they still have to accept the fact that the shiites won the sectarian conflict so Iran's sphere of influence is expanding, they're making a point of striking hezbollah in syria partly to hedge against iranian influence and partly just to weaken hezbollah and exploit their overextended position. Israel is definitely more aligned with the sunnis, but mossad is always happy to let muslims kill each other instead of killing jews
