Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa is set to make a historic first visit to Washington around November 10, potentially joining the US-led coalition against Islamic State. This unprecedented diplomatic engagement comes as Syria's transitional government works to rebuild international relationships and negotiate security agreements with Israel, marking a significant shift in US-Syria relations following Ahmed Sharaa's rise to power after deposing Bashar al-Assad last December.
