I studied the Syrian war when it was happening.
I think of Assad as protecting the legitimate religious minorities in Syria including Christians.
Any incoming government resulting from the "rebels" will probably be Salafist and will at least repress and probably ethnically cleanse minority groups as has happened in areas under their control historically.
Israel and Turkey and the US deep state care not about Syrian Christians, Yazidis, Druze, Alawites.
In fact these other countries would probably prefer the minorities to be murdered.

I think you may be right.
