from Hindustan Times Podcast · host HT Smartcast
Syria’s civil war is over. Assad is gone. But a new chapter has begun, one that’s raising eyebrows across the Middle East. The United States is lifting sanctions. Israel is pushing for peace. And Syria, broken and broke, is being nudged toward normalisation with a country it once called its enemy. So what’s really going on?In this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta breaks down how Trump flipped U.S. policy overnight, why Israel is piggybacking on the opportunity, and what Syria could lose in the name of “peace” including the Golan Heights. From backchannel deals via the UAE to raw anger on Syrian streets, we unpack the real motives behind the diplomacy, the risks Syrians now face, and the uncomfortable trade-offs ahead. Is Syria selling its sovereignty for sanctions relief?Will the Golan Heights be the price of reintegration?And who benefits the most - Damascus, Tel Aviv, or Washington?#Syria #Israel #Trump #GolanHeights #MiddleEast #GreyZone #Geopolitics #Normalization #AbrahamAccords #Damascus #Assad #HTS #AlJolani #Iran #Russia #USForeignPolicy #SanctionsLifted #ArabWorld #UAE #BasharAlAssad #MiddleEastPolitics #PeaceDeal #IsraeliFlag #Diplomacy #SyriaWar #AnanyaDutta
