Gulf, Egyptian and international engagement in post-conflict Syria and Libya, covering political transitions and unification efforts, reconstruction and investment, oil and gas pipelines and energy corridors to the Mediterranean, and competition among regional powers for influence.
Syria and Libya have become arenas where Gulf capitals, Egypt, Turkey, France and the US compete to shape post-conflict transitions and new energy corridors to the Mediterranean.
On Syria, this topic page tracks the UAE's conditioning of strategic trust on President Ahmad al-Sharaa's institutional progress, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed's mediation between Turkey and Israel over Syria, Damascus's bid to bring back European oil companies, the US-backed Iraq-Syria pipeline revival, and Syria's plan for an energy corridor linking Iraqi crude to the Mediterranean with Gulf participation.
On Libya, it follows US envoy Massad Boulos's unification initiative, the UAE's conditions and talks with Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh and Saddam Haftar, the Haftar-Macron meeting in Paris, the Tobruk-Alexandria crude pipeline with Egypt, and the Cairo Quartet's coordination on Libya and Syria.
