Carving Up Syria

 Epoch magazine says that Turkiye and Israel are holding conversations in Azerbaijan over their respective areas of influence in Syria. Just now, I am rereading the book about the Sykes-Picot line that marked the mandates of France and Britain after WWI.  In the last hundred years, Turkey has rebuilt itself as a regional hegemon, and the insubstantial Zionist movement has grown into a strong state in the Middle East. The old imperialist powers, Britain and France, have enough Arabs and little interest in acquiring more.
