The secret of the convergence of the Arab world with Syria.
At the height of the Syrian war and the terrorists had reached the walls of Damascus, the Arab League approved the suspension of Syria’s membership by a majority vote, under the assumption that Bashar al-Assad’s government would soon fall. About 12 years after the start of the Syrian crisis that led to the civil war in this country and after the suspension of this country’s membership in the Arab League due to this crisis, a number of Arab countries have resumed their relations with Damascus or are on the way to resuming relations.
In the latest position, Ahmad Abul Ghait announced yesterday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad won the war as soon as he gained military superiority and the opposition failed to occupy Damascus.
While criticizing the decision to suspend Syria’s membership in the Arab League and describing it as hasty, he said: I believe that the member states should have given the Syrian authorities a chance.
Abol Ghait’s acknowledgment of Bashar al-Assad’s victory in the current situation is a significant acknowledgment. While some countries such as Qatar, Kuwait and Morocco have not yet shown a desire to communicate with Syria, Saudi Arabia, representing the Arab countries, along with the UAE, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, are preventing the efforts of other countries to isolate Syria. . During the meeting of the foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council member states in Jeddah, the return of Syria was discussed.
The story of the suspension of Syria’s membership in the Arab League
With the intensification of the Syrian crisis and the suppression of protests, on 22 February 1391, the majority of foreign ministers of the Arab countries voted to suspend Syria’s membership in the Arab League in an emergency meeting held in Cairo.
In that meeting, 18 countries voted in favor of suspending Syria’s membership in the Arab League, while three countries opposed this action, and Iraq also abstained from this resolution. A process that provoked the protest of the Syrian government.
The West’s anger at the convergence of Arab countries with Syria
The process of rapid changes in the position of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council countries regarding the return of relations with the Syrian government has led to the anger of the West and the United States, who are against the normalization of relations with the Syrian government.
The proximity of the countries of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council to Syria has drawn attention to another side, and that is the position of the West in opposition to the proximity to the Syrian government; This may cause a new crisis between the countries of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council on the one hand, and America and the West on the other hand, while the current crises due to oil and the war between Russia and Ukraine still exist.
