"This government is weak and divided. It has died and is collapsing internally. Thousands of its leaders and members of its security forces are ready to secede. Its proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, have reached a dead end. Assad has fallen. This government is in international isolation more than ever before in modern history."
