New article for Karam Shaar Advisory Limited’s Newsletter: “The New Syrian Government and the Current Status of the Islamic State and al-Qaeda in Syria”
Posted on
Nearly six months after the fall of the Assad regime, Syria’s new government faces immense challenges following fourteen years of civil war. One key issue is the ongoing threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and al-Qaeda, both a domestic security concern and a test of the Interim Government’s (IG) credibility in the eyes of Western powers. The US-led Global Coalition has spent nearly a decade combating ISIL in Syria and continues to target al-Qaeda operatives. If Damascus can demonstrate competence in countering these groups, it may ease international concerns rooted in the IG leadership’s past ties—having broken with ISIL in 2013 and al-Qaeda in 2016. The current leadership, once part of Jabhat al-Nusrah and later Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has now been unaffiliated with ISIL for twelve years and al-Qaeda for nine.

Check out my new ‘Policy Alert’ for The Washington Institute: “The Islamic State Attacks the New Syrian Government”
Posted on
For the first time since the fall of the Assad regime, the Islamic State successfully struck the new Syrian government, targeting a security post in the eastern town of Mayadin with a May 18 car bomb attack that left five dead. Intentionally or not, the strike coincided with several other significant developments in the Syria file—it came one day after government forces clashed with an IS cell in Aleppo (the first such sting operation since March), less than a week after President Trump met with President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh, and subsequent to a U.S. military drawdown in Syria that began in mid-April. Although the local IS presence is nowhere near as strong as it once was, the trend lines point to a persistent threat that cannot be ignored.
