Rebuilding Syria requires much more than bricks and mortar
Rebuilding Syria after more than a decade of devastating conflict is no simple task. As the global community keeps a close eye on Syria’s new leadership to ensure a smooth transition, it must also send a clear and forceful message to Israel. The global community may hesitate to fully lift sanctions due to uncertainty about Syria’s new leadership. Syria’s new rulers must prioritise supporting and strengthening Syrian civil society to ensure a healthy and successful reconstruction. Syria could benefit from hosting a comprehensive reconstruction conference, bringing together international donors and the new Syrian government to align reconstruction priorities, ensure transparent collaboration, and begin rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure and social fabric.
