This gesture was widely understood as a sudden shift in Abu Dhabi\u2019s stance towards the new Syrian leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"828\">Al-Sharaa met with Mohammed bin Zayed at the Al-Shatie Palace in Abu Dhabi, after being greeted by Emirati Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed upon his arrival at Al Bateen Airport. During the meeting, bin Zayed emphasized that \u201cthe UAE supports Syria in facing the challenges of the transitional phase,\u201d adding that \u201cSyria\u2019s stability is in the interest of the entire region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"1162\">Despite the official and positive diplomatic statements, the reactions on social media were fiery and full of questions. Many pointed out the clear contradiction between the UAE&#8217;s official positions now and the previous online campaigns of incitement and attack led by Emirati electronic trolls against al-Sharaa since he took power.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13822\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13822\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13822 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ahmad500.jpg\" alt=\"Al-Shara\u2019s UAE Visit Sparks Debate Over Political Intentions\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ahmad500.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ahmad500-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ahmad500-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ahmad Al-Sharaa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"43\" data-end=\"105\"><strong data-start=\"43\" data-end=\"105\">Emirati Stance Shift Fuels Suspicion Amid Al-Shara&#8217;s Visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1526\">Previous tweets from prominent figures in the Emirati scene, such as Abdulkhaleq Abdulla and Mohammed Taqi, had fiercely criticized al-Sharaa and questioned his legitimacy. However, these tweets suddenly shifted to welcoming and praising remarks after the visit, a change exposed by users comparing old and new screenshots that clearly show the flip in positions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1819\">The new Emirati stance didn\u2019t convince everyone; it only fueled suspicions among observers about the true intentions behind this sudden opening. Some considered the step to be an attempt to politically reposition in the Syrian file, following changes in regional and international equations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"2054\">While the UAE promotes the visit as part of efforts for \u201cArab rapprochement\u201d and \u201creconstruction,\u201d others see it as just a new deal of interests being managed above the table, after years of incitement campaigns conducted beneath it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2163\">So, is this the beginning of a new alliance?
