Foreign Policy
Syria's foreign policy is in flux following the fall of the Assad regime. Historically, the Assad government aligned with Iran and Russia, maintained hostility toward Israel, and supported Hezbollah. The new transitional authorities are navigating relationships with Turkey, Gulf states, and Western nations while managing the presence of multiple foreign militaries on Syrian soil. Key issues include reconstruction financing, refugee return, counterterrorism, and the status of the Kurdish-led autonomous administration in the northeast.
