Assad’s fate is sealed (Israel Hayom)
– “There are two dates in history that sealed the political fate of Syrian President Bashar Assad: July 21, 1994, the day his brother, Basel, (who was then the apparent heir of their father, Hafez Assad) was killed in a car accident – a day that paved Bashar’s way to the presidential palace; and March 15, 2011, the day the riots against his rule began. The second day also marked the beginning of the countdown to his political end.”
