Arab capitals (Saudi, Gulf, Egypt) moved first with investment and recognition trajectories; Western capitals followed with calibrated sanctions easing and high-level visits; Russia negotiates base continuity; Ukraine made a symbolic security-talks visit. The shared logic: realism over purity tests, pull Syria out of the Iranian orbit, fund reconstruction, stabilise the Levant. Prescription: continue calibrated engagement, condition relief on reform milestones, fund reconstruction, maintain dialogue.

UkraineIsraeli right, Iranian state media, and Western conservative voices frame each act of engagement — Saudi investment deals, sanctions relief, head-of-state meetings with al-Sharaa, Russian base preservation, Ukrainian Damascus visit — as whitewashing a former al-Qaeda operative and rewarding extremism. The image of world leaders shaking the hand of a designated terrorist is itself the harm. Prescription: maintain terrorist designation, halt sanctions relief, refuse high-level engagement, sanction enablers.
