The focus, however, is not on Tehran or Moscow this time, but squarely on Washington. The interim Syrian government is seeking an \u201cexistential\u201d deal that, if achieved, could overturn the balance of power and place the credibility of the U.S. administration under a relentless test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The diplomacy of the interim Syrian government, backed by Turkey and the Gulf states, is centered on a dual objective: first, to obtain full political recognition that includes the removal of all sanctions imposed on Syria; and second, to persuade Washington to end its strategic alliance with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Syria, replacing them with its own affiliated armed factions under the title of the \u201cSyrian Army\u201d as Washington\u2019s sole and legitimate partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This scenario does not merely reflect a shift in the balance of power; it represents a fundamental reconfiguration of U.S. alliances across the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Field reports indicate that the \u201cDamascus government\u201d is now experiencing a fragile state of strategic paralysis, awaiting the outcome of interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa\u2019s visit to Washington, scheduled by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack for November 10. As a result, negotiations with the SDF have been suspended, the Sweida file frozen, and the coastal regions left vulnerable to jihadist groups that are exploiting global silence and the absence of protection to carry out looting, kidnapping, and killing operations unchecked. No decisive decisions are being made, nor are any major military operations launched, pending the outcome of these critical Washington talks. In this equation, the United States is not a mere mediator but the holder of the key to \u201cinternational legitimacy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greater danger lies in linking this pursuit to broader regional interests. Reports suggest that the Washington deal could be sealed by signing, or pledging to sign, agreements before the end of the year, possibly in coordination with or under the sponsorship of Israel. If concluded, this unexpected alliance would not only grant the Damascus government the green light to act but would also transform Syrian geography into a stage for a programmed and all-out military escalation under the pretext of \u201ccounterterrorism.\u201d The paradox, however, lies in Damascus\u2019s radically altered and distorted definition of this term. \u201cTerrorism\u201d is no longer limited to ISIS or jihadist groups once affiliated with the so-called Syrian Army, but now encompasses key political and military opponents who reject absolute central control without constitutional guarantees safeguarding the rights of minorities and various sects. These groups are now officially labeled \u201cterrorists,\u201d with all state media targeting them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The regions newly branded under this label include the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, Washington\u2019s closest local ally and the primary rival over territory and resources, which eradicated the ISIS caliphate, liberated northern and eastern Euphrates, and established a stable civil governance system to serve citizens\u2019 needs. They also include the popular movement areas in Suwayda, which broke free of Damascus\u2019s control following massacres committed by jihadist factions against the Druze community, who defended themselves and formed a nucleus for local self-administration. Similarly, the coastal region, predominantly Alawite, still lives under the shadow of massacres committed during the early days of al-Sharaa\u2019s rule in Damascus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, references to \u201cISIS,\u201d the \u201cMuslim Brotherhood,\u201d and \u201cJabhat al-Nusra\u201d have conspicuously vanished from official rhetoric as designated terrorist entities under international classifications. This glaring contradiction underscores that the priorities are no longer ideological or security-driven but purely geopolitical, aimed at eliminating Damascus\u2019s local rivals with an \u201cAmerican-sanctioned legitimacy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are thus facing a profound moral and political dilemma. The test is not directed solely at the Damascus government but at the U.S. administration itself. Washington has long raised the banners of democracy, human rights, and countering extremism, yet this potential deal places those very slogans on the auction block.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Washington adhere to its principles and refuse to grant legitimacy to entities that are ideologically and practically indistinguishable from the groups it claims to combat? Or will narrow interests and the pursuit of swift regional deals lead it to overlook this fundamental contradiction?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decision Washington makes in the coming period will have consequences that extend far beyond Syria. It will either reaffirm American principles or expose that the \u201cwar on terror\u201d has become a negotiable commodity in the marketplace of global politics, even if the price is legitimizing extremist forces in the heart of an Arab capital. Such a move risks igniting yet another sweeping conflict in the region, one that could ultimately rebound against American interests themselves, just as history has shown in Afghanistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content with-share\">\n<div class=\"content-inner  jeg_link_underline\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The views expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect those of +963 association.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hussein Omar From the heart of Damascus, one of the most intricate political games in the contemporary Syrian landscape is being orchestrated.
