Saudi Arabia has emerged as a central player in efforts to address regional issues in the Middle East, signaling a shift in its foreign policy approach. The Kingdom is taking proactive steps to redefine its role as a stabilizing force in the region, particularly in engagements with Lebanon and post-Assad Syria. Saudi Arabia aims to bring Syria back into the Arab League fold and normalize ties with Damascus, in an effort to foster a new regional order led by Arab states. In Lebanon, the Saudis have reengaged to help shape the political landscape and promote stability and economic recovery. These proactive roles reflect a broader shift in Saudi Arabia's regional strategy, driven by the Saudi Vision 2030 project and the recalibration of US policy in the Middle East.
