In a surprising turn, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Ahmad al-Shara—best known by his alias Abu Mohammed al-Jolani—has pledged that Syria will no longer act as a threat to Arab nations. In an interview with pan-Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat, he declared the end of Syria's 'revolutionary period' and promised a new era of economic collaboration.
'We won’t allow Syria to attack or unsettle any Arab or Gulf country,' al-Shara emphasized, framing the war-torn nation’s future around Gulf-inspired development models to revive its economy. Think Dubai’s skyline meets Syrian resilience —a bold vision for a country rebuilding after years of conflict.
While details remain scarce, al-Shara hinted at a nationwide dialogue to draft a new constitution, signaling a potential political reboot. Could this mark Syria’s pivot from battlefield to boardroom? Investors and regional partners are watching closely.
