I have also raised the south Syria transit question and propose it as a future possibility in AMH8.
I gave a talk on the weekend mentioning this and was told by a guy just back from there (NGO?) that yes, it's safe enough in the south but you can't get in - or even a visa? without an invitation from the right source.
Get that, pay enough and, as EO says, they may well do it. Its only 200km - doable in a day, even bundled in the back of a pickup.
The Mersin? Duba ferry sounds like the alternative dodge, especially now that Saudi is inching in from the cold.
Afaik, Sudan has never been a problem with Israeli evidence-of-visit.
Iran definitely will be - and even more closed to Americans than the other 2, also afaik.
