The Israeli Occupation’s economy suddenly became a silent battleground, driven by European consumers and some governments increasingly using economic pressure instead of diplomatic complicity.

While the new Syrian administration seeks to revive the economy and pave the way for a long-term reconstruction phase, top priorities include reforming state-owned enterprises, managing public debt, and enhancing financial market infrastructure.

Despite previous efforts to reinstate Bashar al-Assad after his return to the Arab League, Syria's new administration chose Saudi Arabia as its first foreign destination following the ousting of Assad's regime on December 8, 2024.

In a surprising announcement, Saudi Arabia revealed the exit of Nadhmi al-Nasr, the longtime CEO of NEOM, one of the world’s largest construction projects.
