Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa arrived in Doha after visiting Saudi Arabia. He is expected to meet Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani as part of a broader Gulf tour.
‘Any country's recognition of Israel's claim to the occupied Golan Heights is invalid and illegal because this is a right belonging to the Syrian people.
The Golan is Syrian land. It is not for any state to give away or recognize.
More than 134 countries from around the world recognize that the Golan Heights are unequivocally Syrian territory, occupied by Israel.’
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa says of Russia’s military presence: only two bases remain, which Syria is trying to convert into army training centers.
Any disturbance in the Red Sea or in the Strait of Hormuz, Syria constitutes a safe haven for the safety of supply chains through its strategic location.
European countries will suffer from the interruption of energy supplies from the Arab Gulf.

Report on Reshet Bet:
With no clear end to the Iran war and growing energy and supply disruptions, regional players are moving to reshape trade routes.
Turkey and Syria under Ahmad al-Sharaa (Jolani) are pushing a rival corridor linking the Gulf to Europe, potentially bypassing Israel.
The war has reinforced the importance of IMEC, originally meant to run from India through Gulf states, Jordan, Israel, and into Europe, and tied to Israel Saudi normalization.
Now Ankara and Damascus are advancing an alternative route via Syria and Turkey. Plans include a high-speed rail line from Saudi Arabia through Jordan to Syria, and oil pipelines to Syrian ports.
Saudi Arabia has also launched a new land logistics route from its eastern ports through Jordan to northern neighbors.
If Israel is excluded, losses could reach billions.
Gideon Bromberg of EcoPeace says Saudi Arabia now sees IMEC as essential, but can choose routes via Haifa, Syria, Turkey, or Egypt, and would only use Haifa if tied to a broader political deal involving the Palestinians. @kaisos1987
