(by Pasquale Preziosa) The defeat of the Islamic state (ISIS) in Syria, has begun the consolidation of alliances in order to reposition itself on the geopolitical level
The Hezbollah formation, from Lebanon, has been heavily involved in anti-ISIS fighting in support of Bashar Al Assad's Syria.
As early as last October, Hezbollah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah met with the Syrian President in Damascus to promote political consolidation between the new head of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar and Syria.
The proposed rapprochement presented by Hamas would consist in the reopening of its representation in Damascus.
This office, already present in Syria up to 2011, was transferred to Qatar with the beginnings of the revolutionary anti-Bashar revolts.
The great change in attitude between the two organizations was supported by the head of the Pasdaran, Qassem Suleimani, who as early as February 2017 had expressed appreciation for the appointment of Sinwar as head of Hamas.
Suleimani supported Iran's geopolitical need to expand its country's influence on the Mediterranean.
The visit of Nasrallah in October, had a fruitful following as followed by the visit, in the same month, of the deputy of Hamas, Salah Al Azuri, in Teheran.
During the meetings in Iran, Al Azuri met the head of the Majlis (parliament), the advisor of the supreme guide Khamenei, and other notables of the regime.
As a result of this new strategic alliance between Hamas, Syria and Iran, the new operational structures in the region, consisting of not demobilization of the Shiite militia forces in Iraq after the ISIS defeat.
It will remain as a reserve force for generic defensive missions.
These militias, according to the head of the Pasdaran, could constitute reinforcement for Hezbollah in case of conflict with Israel.
As a result of these operational determinations, the chief of the Shiite militias in Iraq, Qais Al Khazali, visited southern Lebanon, while paramilitary exponents of the Mahdi army, a force created by the well-known Muqtada Al Sadr since 2003, had contacts, always in Lebanon, with representatives of Hezbollah.
From a geopolitical point of view, Hezbollah emerges from the much strengthened conflict in Syria, has reported a political and military recognition on the battlefield against ISIS of loyalty to Syria and Iran.
Consequently, it gathers the most explicit support for its policy, which is more consistent in terms of forces trained in Iran by Syria and Iran.
The Middle East fall point is always Israel, which will face Hizbullah formation, strengthened by new strategic alliances and greater welding with Hamas (it is strengthened), Syria much more deployed than in the past and Iran with the constant anti-Israeli politics, therefore a more compact Shiite education.
On the Sunni side, Israel will enjoy a relaxation of political pressures in its area of interest.
With these premises, the possibility that Israel may be involved in a new conflict is higher.
The hot spots, to be activated according to the political convenience of the moment, are Hamas and the Gaza strip on one side and the south of Lebanon on the other.
Geopolitics has resumed its path for some time and is accelerating more and more.
