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.

Since Israeli Occupation attacks prevented Syrian government forces from entering the Druze-majority Sweida province in southern Syria, calls for secession led by Hikmat al-Hijri have intensified.

Another round of consultations is expected to restore relations between Russia and the U.S. to normal, a development that could have implications for foreign affairs in countries where Moscow and Washington continue to influence political and security stability, notably Syria.

Although talk of truce negotiations persists, the Israeli Occupation continues to act as an occupying power in southern Syria, carrying out near daily violations that include ground incursions, land clearing, the arrest of civilians, and the confiscation of property.

As the new Syrian state works to restore order in Sweida, a predominantly Druze province, “Israel” has revealed its intention to open a corridor to the area in southern Syria.
