Syrian President Bashar al-Assad meets with Syrian army soldiers.

Content from the Brookings Doha Center is now archived. In September 2021, after 14 years of impactful partnership, Brookings and the Brookings Doha Center announced that they were ending their affiliation. The Brookings Doha Center is now the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, a separate public policy institution based in Qatar.

Ranj Alaaldin, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center, discusses the prospects of peace-building in Syria and what to expect from the Assad regime after the latest airstrikes from a U.S.-backed coalition.
