💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump will meet Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who recently overthrew Bashar Assad, to discuss easing sanctions and normalizing relations. Al-Sharaa, a former insurgent, took power after a surprise offensive in Damascus. Gulf Arab leaders support this move, seeing it as a counter to Iran's influence, but Israel remains skeptical due to al-Sharaa's extremist past.
