Jordan is stepping up its diplomatic moves to support the new Syria in navigating the transitional phase and rebuilding the neighboring country worn down by years of war.

Islamic State is regrouping after al-Assad’s fall, reactivating cells and mounting attacks, raising warnings of a persistent cross-border threat.

Because currency is a core marker of national identity, overhauling the Syrian financial and banking sector that has been in decline for 14 years requires a new currency, analysts said.

The new Syrian state continues to intensify efforts to cut all arms supply lines from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon and to shut them down completely, given their impact on the country’s stability.

The SDF is delaying its integration into the Syrian state by organizing conferences, mobilizing minorities, and leveraging resources to pressure Damascus into accepting decentralization, though Arab tribes, Damascus, Ankara, and the U.S. largely reject its approach.
