At a high-stakes AI Summit in Washington, President Donald Trump declared the U.S. will do "whatever it takes" to dominate the global artificial intelligence race. As part of his bold AI Action Plan, Trump unveiled sweeping executive orders aimed at cutting regulations, accelerating data center construction, and eliminating so-called "woke" influences in AI development. The move signals a dramatic shift in U.S. tech policy, with an aggressive push for global AI supremacy — and zero tolerance for ideological bias. Trump’s message is clear: American tech will lead, no matter the cost.

Iran is secretly rearming its regional proxies after the ceasefire with Israel, plotting a “silent revenge” against the U.S. and its allies. Houthi rebels have resumed Red Sea attacks, Hezbollah is regrouping despite major losses, and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are targeting vital oil fields. With Assad’s fall blocking key supply routes, Tehran is racing to rebuild its network of influence. U.S. officials warn Iran could use these proxies as leverage in future nuclear talks, raising fears of a renewed wave of proxy wars across the Middle East.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

#AhmedAlShara,
Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.

This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel.
