The Hoover Institution Working Group on the Middle East and the Islamic World held a meeting on Syria's Earthquake, Normalization, and Frozen Conflict: The Syrian Opposition's Views on the Current Crisis on Friday, April 28, 2023, at 10:00 am ET.
Despite the Assad regime's ongoing human rights violations, sponsorship of terrorism, and large-scale narcotrafficking, some Arab governments are exploring normalization with Damascus. How does the opposition view these challenges, especially in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake that devastated many opposition-held areas? These and related topics will be addressed in an in-person podium discussion with Syrian opposition leader Badr Jamous and Joel Rayburn.
