Arab decision-makers are now well aware that resolving the Syrian crisis and stopping its repercussions on various Arab countries requires the return of Damascus to its Arab environment, and that this crisis is the result of tensions and internal conflicts provoked through interventions, and therefore Arabs must play their part to get out of this crisis. Many Arab countries have taken the initiative to open up to Damascus to seek ways to resolve the Syrian crisis, which is a complex external and internal crisis, because the Syrians need to establish peace in their country in order to cut the path of negative interference. , and it is here that the need for the Arab role emerges to stop these interventions and block their way. What happened in Jeddah is the culmination of all this and opens the door to an end to the Syrian crisis and the suffering of its people, because it will later be necessary to end forms of foreign military occupation of certain parties of Syria by regional and international powers, which contribute to escalating the conflict and pitting Syrians against each other, and jeopardizing the unity of their country and the whole of it.
