A well-informed Syrian source described the move as part of broader efforts to gain Western support during Syria\u2019s transitional phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A French diplomatic source noted that Paris, in coordination with Germany and with support from Saudi Arabia, worked to persuade Syria\u2019s transitional president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, to submit a new request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move was seen as a potentially significant step toward advancing the transitional process and improving acceptance by Western powers, especially the United States, the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a Syrian official told the newspaper that the Coalition had not approved the request, stating there were no sufficient grounds for acceptance. The Coalition leadership reportedly left the request unanswered, effectively putting it on hold for a limited time\u2014interpreted by some as a deadline for Damascus to meet specific conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, a diplomatic source in Washington, an American of Arab origin, remarked that Damascus continues to rely on unrealistic expectations to secure political recognition from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source added that Washington had submitted a list of high-ranking Syrian military officers with foreign nationalities whose continued presence in leadership positions was viewed as a security concern. Their removal was seen as a prerequisite for serious engagement, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the sources cited by An-Nahar, Damascus\u2019s insistence on retaining foreign officers in top positions is seen not only as a challenge to Washington but also as a sign of reluctance to dismantle the supranational structures that have long supported its power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Abdulsalam Khoja<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Sources told the Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar&nbsp;on Saturday that the U.S.-led Global Coalition has declined the Syrian transitional government&#8217;s request to join its campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS).
