Brief:<\/b><\/p>

With the withdrawal session, the Middle East is also anticipating a US exit from Syria where hundreds and thousands of US troops are still serving. The Biden government has indicated that it is eager to look away from Gulf Arab states bracing relations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad rather than vigorously averting them from doing so. This marks a slight but significant shift in US policy, as signified by the 2019 Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act. With Washington showing a lessened appetite for imposing military means to isolate Syria, some Arab countries are starting to bring Syria in from its diplomatic isolation.\u00a0 In recent months, Gulf Arab states especially, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia have extended their commitment with the Syrian government. The Gulf Arab states will endure to pre-position themselves at different strides and in ways that are unswerving with existing sanctions on Syria ahead of a political settlement in the country. The question of when such a settlement comes will depend on the United States. Given Biden\u2019s hard-nosed realism in Afghanistan, it\u2019s easy to imagine the president concluding that US troops in northeast Syria don\u2019t serve US interests. The debacle of the US exit from Kabul and its sheer inhumanity may persuade Biden, however, that reaching a deal with Russia is better than simply walking away and abandoning its allies in Syria.<\/span><\/p>
