Syria's Sharaa unveils regional strategy, seeks Israel security arrangement
Ahmed al-Sharaa presented Syria's emerging foreign policy: closer ties with Washington, continued engagement with Moscow, eventual security arrangements with Israel, avoidance of regional conflicts
Assessment
Syria's new leadership is signaling a pragmatic shift away from its long-standing posture of confrontation. By publicly prioritizing security arrangements with Israel and seeking ties with Washington, Sharaa is attempting to reset Syria's regional position after years of isolation. The balancing act with Moscow suggests he wants to maintain Russian support while opening new diplomatic channels. The key question is whether Israel and the U.S. will view these overtures as credible enough to engage.
