Syria's Jolani May Send Troops To Yemen To Fight Houthis
Syria is said to be "cautiously" considering sending troops to assist Saudi Arabia in the fight against the Houthis in Yemen, Reuters and others are reporting Wednesday.
An anonymous US official described that this was a focus of conversation between Syria's self-declared President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the two met in Riyadh on Tuesday.
Ironically it was the Saudis that heavily supported Sharaa's rise and overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in the first place. Sharaa, previously known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani was the founder and leader of Syrian al-Qaeda (Nusra Front, later Hayat Tahrir al-Sham). He had also fought Assad while initially under ISIS, and had taken control of Idlib.

Iraq Formally Requests Syria Act As 'Hormuz Bypass' Route For Its Crude
Syria's geography has long given the country huge economic opportunities as a major energy transfer hub connecting Middle East states to the Mediterranean.
But as the last decade plus of proxy war which resulted in the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad demonstrated, Syria has also long been target of foreign machinations bent on seeing a puppet state installed in Damascus. The US-Gulf allies broadly waged war against the so-called 'Shia crescent' represented in the old Baghdad-Damascus-Hezbollah axis.
Henry Kissinger famously stated of its opportunity-rich geography, "you can't make war in the Middle East without Egypt and you can't make peace without Syria." The historiographical term Pax Syriana also captures this concept: as goes Syria, so goes the whole region.

Instead, they launched an arrest campaign against local men who gathered to defend the town with sticks and knives. They arrested two local Christian men, Shadi Nassab and Amjad Lyous.
