On November first, a significant development in Middle Eastern diplomacy unfolded as the United States Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, announced that Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa is expected to visit Washington soon. This visit could mark a turning point for U.S.-Syrian relations, with American officials hoping Syria might join the coalition fighting the Islamic State group. Sharaa's upcoming trip would be his second to the United States, following his UN General Assembly speech in September. Since taking power, Sharaa has been rebuilding Syria's relationships with world powers, aiming to end years of isolation. However, concerns remain about a possible Islamic State resurgence, and all eyes are on Sharaa's Washington visit to shape the region's future.
