The increase in tensions between the Syrian tribes and the Qasd militia in the northeast, specifically in Deir Ezzor and Hasaka, especially after the assassinations that targeted the sheikhs of the Al-Akidat tribe, in addition to the blatant violations of the rights of citizens in the northeastern region in general in the areas of the presence of the American forces, which support the Qasd militia To make the general situation in the region require intervention from other parties that have met consensus to resolve the dispute, especially since the United States is aware of the importance of these Syrian Arab tribes, and their role in turning the tables on the American and Qasd together, so it brought 20 Saudi soldiers to the Al-Shaddadi military base located In the outskirts of the city of Hasaka.
According to news sources, the Saudi soldiers entered with a convoy of the American coalition, which withdrew from the Taji military base in Iraq and settled in the Al-Omar oil field, which is controlled by the Kurds in eastern Syria.
Not forgetting one of the political tensions between several international and Arab parties, since Turkey, since its occupation of northern Syria, has invoked what it is doing as to protect its national security from the Kurds, and with the spread of the epidemic of terrorist wars in the region, these differences have dissolved as happened between Turkey and Saudi Arabia The two countries are fighting over the succession in the Middle East. As a result of the terrorist war, the Syrian arena has become a hotbed of political robbery, so what is the strategic goal of the Saudi intervention in northeastern Syria?
Among the above, we can summarize the American move to push Saudi Arabia into northeastern Syria, in terms of several aspects:
* Washington’s desire to contain the existing conflict between the Syrian tribes and the Qasd militia, in order to be able to finish its tasks related to the theft of Syrian oil, fearing a popular uprising that may lead to forcing it to leave forcibly from northern Syria.
* Presenting the Saudi soldiers as advocates of peace, using the kinship between the Arab tribes historically, to be an indirect mediator in easing and calming the situation.
* It is an attempt to deter Erdogan from his advance in the northeast, to show the Saudi and Kurdish sides that it is a strong ally for them.
* Exploiting the situation by entering Saudi soldiers to pressure Erdogan in other international files.
* Demonstrating goodwill to provide supplies and funds to Syrian citizens from the tribes and others, at the expense of Saudi Arabia, as Trump previously stated.
* Empowering Saudi Arabia in the Syrian east on the basis of border protection, in terms of being a partner to the Kurds in preventing Iranian expansion across the border.
* Exploiting the existing conflict to prolong the political solution in Syria, and preventing the tribes from seeking refuge in the Syrian Arab Army and the Russian ally.
* The possibility that Washington, with the approach of the US presidential election, wanted to replace its forces with Saudi soldiers, after it had supported the Kurds with equipment, convoys and military vehicles, to be supervising workers and technicians plundering Syrian oil.
From the above it becomes clear to us that the struggle for control is the method that Washington uses to consolidate its control through its Kurdish and Gulf proxies, as it did in its terrorist war on Syria and Yemen.
In the end, what is happening in northeastern Syria is an inevitable result of the dependence of some Kurds with the West, which has complicated the northeast file, despite the attempts made by the Syrian leadership through the Russian ally to deter the Kurds from continuing their alliance with Washington, and that the only solution is Through the Syrian-Syrian dialogue, which refutes the rumors that the Kurds are not Syrians, but rather they are Syrians and the ball is in their court, but the one who kicks it is the American.
