flag Syria’s new government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, gains rapid international recognition and sanctions relief amid concerns over foreign fighters, extremist ties, and foreign influence.

flag Syria’s transitional government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, has swiftly gained international recognition and sanctions relief, surpassing the Assad regime’s diplomatic reach in just a year. flag While countries including the U.S., China, and Russia have engaged formally, Israel and Iran oppose the shift. flag The government promotes stability to attract foreign investment, but reports reveal the formal integration of thousands of foreign fighters, including Uyghurs linked to the TIP, into the New Syrian Army. flag Foreign funding, particularly from Gulf states and China, risks supporting extremist elements, despite conditions tied to counter-terrorism and anti-narcotics efforts. flag Meanwhile, ideological changes in education and Israeli military influence in key regions raise concerns about sovereignty and long-term stability.
