There was a brief period when the Muslim Brotherhood controlled Egypt. Hezbullah controls a big chunk of southern Lebanon. Hamas controls Gaza. Maybe the facts are getting in the way of your point a little...

In the thats in the past. However they didn't break the peace agreement with Israel.

> Hamas controls Gaza

Gaza is not a country.

> Hezbullah controls a big chunk of southern Lebanon.

True on that but without Israel there Hezbollah would have little reason to oppose the US.

At the same time the reality is that Syria is militarly over, Jordan has made peace, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are basically allies, Turkey has no interest in attacking Israel, Egypt is incapable of true forign policy at the moment.

So we have basically all major powers, and Hezbullah.


Iran.

Iran has physical presence in Syria (Besides the Hezbullah proxy in Syria).

Gaza is an autonomous neighbor ruled by an Islamic terror organization being a country or not does not change the fact that missles are being launched at Israeli civilians every week.

There is still ISIS in Sinai. (And although the Islamic brotherhood lost control of the country, they are not gone)

yes. Jordan is quiet.

"True on that but without Israel there Hezbollah would have little reason to oppose the US." -You really have no idea how religious extremist work. Hezbullah has something against all non-(their kind of)-muslim

"the reality is that Syria is militarly over" -not really. ISIS is pretty much gone there but there is still a lot of fighting and it's not like the winners are the nice guys
