Syria's interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, made his first international trip to Saudi Arabia, signaling a strategic shift away from Iran's influence. His arrival, alongside the foreign minister, on a Saudi jet and the display of the Syrian flag, underscores this new alignment. They aim to discuss lifting international sanctions on Syria, marking a crucial step in shaping a new political landscape post-Assad. Al-Sharaa, previously aligned with more militant groups, now symbolizes a transitional government that may foster alliances for stabilization and support in the Gulf region.
Al-Sharaa's first trip abroad signals a reorientation of Syria's foreign policy towards the Gulf states, moving away from reliance on Iran's support.
The emphasis on dialogue with Saudi Arabia indicates a strategic shift to gain international support for lifting sanctions against Syria.
