Israeli media touched on the photo of the handshake between Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), suggesting that it was a "victory for Al-Assad."

The media considered that "it is more correct to say that the Arab League has returned to Syria, not the other way around."

It stressed that what is happening is undoubtedly "a massive victory for Syria and its leader," pointing out that all that remains for Syria is to restore relations with Turkey to their previous state.

During his speech earlier today, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad considered this summit "a historic opportunity to rearrange our [Arab] affairs with minimum foreign interference, which requires repositioning ourselves in this emerging world so that we can become active members of its order."
