    The Spin

    Pro-establishment narrative

    The new Syrian leadership represents a pragmatic shift toward regional stability, demonstrating a willingness to address security concerns and join the Abraham Accords framework, which could lead to economic recovery and normalized relations with Israel and the U.S.

    Associated PressWashington Post

    Pro-Israel narrative

    Syria's new government has deeply problematic jihadist components and it's justified to be skeptical about the regime's true intentions. Israel is correct to maintain military pressure through airstrikes and establishing a buffer zone to protect both Israel's national security as well as minority groups in Syria.

    Newsweek

    Pro-Palestine narrative

    Syria's pursuit of normalization with Israel amidst ongoing aggression undermines the Palestinian cause and regional resistance. Engaging diplomatically with an occupying force actively bombarding Syrian soil and committing atrocities in Gaza is a betrayal of justice.
