The simultaneous meetings in Ankara have sparked questions about the motivations behind these moves and whether Turkey is actively reshaping the regional landscape in its favor, particularly in light of recent developments in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Al-Sharaa\u2019s visit to Ankara comes just days after his first trip to Saudi Arabia, highlighting Turkey\u2019s role in supporting the new leadership in Damascus after Assad&#8217;s fall. Meanwhile, the arrival of Egypt\u2019s foreign minister in Turkey reflects the ongoing improvement in ties between Cairo and Ankara, following years of strained relations that began after the ousting of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is Turkey Mediating Between Egypt and Syria\u2019s New Leadership?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The timing of these meetings raises speculation about whether Turkey is acting as a mediator between Cairo and the new Syrian government, especially since Egypt has yet to officially declare its stance on Syria\u2019s leadership after Assad\u2019s removal. However, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi\u2019s recent congratulatory message to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/02\/04\/from-rebel-to-president-ahmad-al-sharaas-historic-visit-to-saudi-arabia\/\">Ahmad Al-Sharaa<\/a> on his appointment could indicate that Cairo is preparing to turn a new page in its relations with Damascus, following years of diplomatic estrangement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12217\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12217 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/10.25.jpg\" alt=\"Saudi-Syria relations\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/10.25.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/10.25-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/10.25-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/10.25-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ahmad Al-Sharaa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Erdo\u011fan\u2019s Pragmatic Approach to Regional Politics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Turkish foreign policy has always been driven by strategic interests, and Erdo\u011fan has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to adapt to shifting regional dynamics. His handshake with Sisi after years of political hostility and media attacks between the two sides is a clear example of this flexibility. Now, it appears that Erdo\u011fan is applying the same strategy in dealing with Syria\u2019s new leadership, aiming to bolster Turkey\u2019s influence in Damascus while avoiding direct confrontation with Egypt, which remains a key player in the region.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10667\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10667\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10667 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u0636\u0627\u0643\u0636\u064a-\u0624\u0627\u0636\u0642\u0636\u0636-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"New Syria\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u0636\u0627\u0643\u0636\u064a-\u0624\u0627\u0636\u0642\u0636\u0636-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u0636\u0627\u0643\u0636\u064a-\u0624\u0627\u0636\u0642\u0636\u0636-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u0636\u0627\u0643\u0636\u064a-\u0624\u0627\u0636\u0642\u0636\u0636-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u0636\u0627\u0643\u0636\u064a-\u0624\u0627\u0636\u0642\u0636\u0636-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u0636\u0627\u0643\u0636\u064a-\u0624\u0627\u0636\u0642\u0636\u0636.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ahmed al-Sharaa\u2019s government<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The crucial question remains: Are we on the verge of a rapprochement between Cairo and Damascus under Turkey\u2019s mediation?
