Contrarily, Rai al-Youm, led by Palestinian journalist and supporter of the Syrian regime, Abdul Bari Atwan, reported, based on undisclosed sources, that the Saudi crown prince intends to visit Damascus in the near future, aiming to convene a summit with President Bashar al-Assad.
The report suggested that the timing of the visit may coincide with the conclusion of the Israeli war in Gaza or following the implementation of a ceasefire between Hamas and Tel Aviv.
It speculated that the anticipated visit of the Saudi crown prince to Damascus could mark a significant milestone in bilateral relations between the two nations. Additionally, it could potentially influence the Syrian regime’s efforts to restore its Arab relations and address the ongoing economic challenges in Syria.
