The Arab Summit-Syria’s Summit

Undoubtedly and irrevocably the spotlight was on Syria in the last Arab Summit that was held on the 19th of May in Jeddah.And undoubtedly and irrevocably Syria delivered well.As if twelve years of absence had never been.Syria a founding member of the Arab League sat in its rightful place welcomed by all.
Every single Arab leader who took the stand and delivered a speech unfailingly mentioned Syria welcoming back to its proper place .
President Assad in his succinct speech shed light on Arab cooperation and the right to govern without external interference.

“I hope that it marks the beginning of a new phase of Arab action for solidarity among us, for peace in our region, development and prosperity instead of war and destruction,” he told delegates.

“Today is an historic opportunity to rearrange our affairs with the least amount of foreign interference,” he added.

How did all this come about?

Diplomatic shifts had accelerated in the Arab arena after a sudden Chinese-brokered agreement announced on the tenth of March, which resulted in the resumption of relations that were severed between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Less than two weeks after announcing the resumption of relations, Saudi Arabia said that it had started talks about resuming consular services with Syria. ,  before announcing the decision to reopen its missions in Syria.

In the statement they issued on May 7, in which they announced the return of Syria to its seat in the League, the Arab foreign ministers affirmed “the keenness to launch an Arab leadership role in efforts to resolve” the Syrian crisis and its repercussions, including refugee crises, drug smuggling and the “threat of terrorism.” The meeting decided to form a ministerial committee that would work on continuing “direct dialogue with the Syrian government to reach a comprehensive solution to the Syrian crisis.”

Al-Miqdad, talking about   “conditions for reconstruction and the return of refugees,” said  “We did not beg, and we will not do so (…), and we waged a war against terrorism. Anyone who wants to help is welcome,” refusing to talk about “conditions.”. Al-Miqdad said,  “We stressed that the Syrian refugees must return to their homeland, and this return needs capabilities.” About 5.5 million registered Syrian refugees live in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, according to the United Nations. United.

All’s well that ends well?

In Syria all will be well when the Americans and Turks leave the Syrian  land they occupy-when the blood of its  martyrs doesn’t go to waste and  Syria’s sovereignty is untarnished and unchallenged-when the reconstruction process flows smoothly and what was destroyed by a terrible terrorist war is rebuilt-when reconciliations take place without interference and those who erred are embedded back within the mosaic of Syria’s social fabric.

Only then can all be well that ends well
