Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has met Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in Dubai, the Syrian presidency said in a statement, in his first visit to an Arab state since the Syrian war began in 2011.
Assad has also met Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the state news agencies of the United Arab Emirates and Syria reported on Friday.
When asked about Assad’s visit to the UAE, US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Washington was “profoundly disappointed and troubled by this apparent attempt to legitimise Bashar al-Assad, who remains responsible and accountable for the death and suffering of countless Syrians, the displacement of more than half of the pre-war Syrian population, and the arbitrary detention and disappearance of over 150,000 Syrian men, women and children.”

The US is increasingly becoming irrelevant
USA is the biggest murderer of the world, the world must stop trusting USA, and take there position as per there national interest
Arabs must stay united or else we can see what happens to other countries that go against US
They are “disappointed and troubled by an attempt to legitimize a leader responsible for atrocities” yet they plan to purchase oil from Venezuela and bargain with Iran 🤦🏻♂️ These hypocrites are ruining our countries reputation
Who is US..???
the both are criminals, and don’t respect any human rights
Bashar Asad is a big criminal
al jazeera a tool of imperialists obviously not happy at assads visit
America gets irritating when they see it
Uae doesn’t need anyone’s permission to do things
Slowly and steadily, the US and its stooge the UK will be shown their rightful place, which is way down the ladder
Finale the get brain
Thanks Russia for occupying the evil forces, maybe its time for those disapointed midle eastern countries to get united and forget about the satan and its allies that survives and only boom when those countries are in enmity. Let there be peace with all expecially with super Iran.
Russia has won over every Islamic powerful economic and military powers 😂 Turkey Pakistan Saudi Egypt 😂 not to forget China and Iran 😂
We see the death of the Petrodollar.
Russia China Turkey Pakistan Saudi UAE now are delivering this plan
This is called power of moscow at your back . See 😂😂😂 all moscow allies are standing still in their leadership
Gulf states should dith the dollar. adopt the yuan. its for the US’s own ultimate good that things like this happen. even though it might not seem that way now.
There were may be a lot of depressing lies and very sad actions going on and he and his wife were so proud,hopeful of their then suffering country and people ! At least they survived !
America preaching hate
They don’t talk about peace only war
America need to stop making boogeyman
I wish all Muslim umma stay with strong bond
درود بر سوریه درود بر بشار اسد زمانی را به یاد دارم که وهابی های عربستان و امارات به دستور غرب سوریه را نابود کردند ولی الان طعم تلخ شکست را چشیده اند
UAE are a disgrace
If you’re not a born again Christian then chances are that you’ll be unable to place your right palm on the Holy Bible KJV and say these words once only—> I refuse to be deceived by the devil.😱

The war has exposed them all! Middle east need to reunited and become one ! Don’t let anyone split you !
im a journalist living and working in middle est for couple of years… i just want to say after this long, THUMBS UP to iran.. they living to be a boss… hopefully soon the sanctions gone from them, so they can change the rules in this shameful area and situation
Nice stop fight each others because of fitnah dajjal
Here we go, US says Assad has committed atrocities 😳😳😆😆!! Is this a form of mental illness?? How about Iraq, Libia, Afghanistan, Syria….
Thats good step may all Arab countries united InshAllah ya rab.
It would be better if you wrote Bashar al-Assad instead of Syria al-Assad
traitors, that Bashar Assad is killing innocent Turkmen turks in Syria. Shame on you👎👎👎
MAY ALLAH BLESS ASAD AND SYRIA ARMY
war criminal
when 2 war criminals unite they are planning to commit more crimes
They are two Arab brothers good step for peace
All leaders should be replaced as none of them can ever do anything good for humanity, just kill it for their own needs. Let’s get them all removed.
Half of Africa has abstained from voting in the UN resolution to condemn Russia. Gulf states are not alone in choosing their own direction.
They condemn peace and unity in the middle east
😂UAE aka LVA(Las Vegas Arabs)…friends of Israel and Assad have never dared play hard ball with their American protector.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🐷🐷🐷🐷
Why can’t the USA just mind their own business instead of pocking their noses where it doesn’t belong, these are all Arabs some blood they speak the same language and same everything in common, they not white with blonde hair as they just said about Ukraine.
Syrian didn’t invaded any country so what others try to give lecture gulf nation they should remember their attacks on others nation and destroyed the entire infrastructure.
Proxy war over. Good Assad for visit.
Respect from the U.S.
hahahaha Assad doesn’t care what US thinks.
two criminals. Those two men are killers. They kill their own people left and right.
Another day another blow to the failing Biden administration.. this is The New normal.. elections have consequences..
🤔 1) How can “Russia help contain Iran’s ambition” when they helped Assad bombed and used chemical warfare on his own people to remain in power in the first place? 2) Isn’t it more profitable and advantageous for Saudi Arabia to have Europe and US buy their oil than Russia’s?
Middle east is middle east’s land, external forces should be out.
This will make US very desperate. This is the time that US does not care about Syria and UAE’s sovereignty. It’s too inconvenient. Hypocrisy is cooking and it’s cryspy chicken.
It is great that UAE big boss meeting himself,with the guy who destroyed his country with his own hands, in stead of sending some junior minister…
Assad👹👺👿 😡🤬🤬
You get freedom only when you make the US happy 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣 literally everybody jumping ship 🚢 🤣🤣 i mean only the countries that are truly free not the slaves in Europe they are still tied down to their master in the US and there’s no escaping that unfortunatelly for them 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️👌👌👌
The future of Middle East is not with west but China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran
I am the President of which country!
I believe that Bashar al-Assad has also done illegal work in his country. A gun has been fired at his own people in association with Rasiya.
Putin is the turning tide we all needed.
WHOTUS:……Our POTUS, past, present and tomorrow had been trying to “regime changed” this guy. And this!!! Now we have to do it all over again, from the get go!!!!!! Someone has to pay for this!!!
(.. somewhere in that egg shaped room, near that recovered shipwreck wood desk, a voice was heard wisphering… pssh! let stick this to that senile and sleepy McDonjoe, no one will noticed!!!!)
Its a very good step
Arabs don’t have shame at all
“Sorry we destroyed your country and tried to kill you……No hard feelings, right?”
When lion roars without biting, understand its meeting its fatal end
Now all the countries wjho are not pleased with US are joining together.
The west will Always betray you
USA is blaming Syria of atrocities
what a world
Lamoo usa
I wanted to laugh as soon as I heard the very nation that created ISIS chose to condemn Assad for human atrocities. 😄
Long life assad
They should come out of those women clothes.
Israel syria same thing double standards again by the west
Ut oh , USA better watch out. Obama 3rd term , Muslim Obama , got the Middle East turning their backs on USA. Ut oh
Inshallah everything is good and peace in Syria 🤲🤲
Syria’s Assad is our hero. Greet from RUSSIA.
THANK YOU SAUDI FOR NOT SUPPORTING THE INSANE U.S.
Let’s go, boys, join Russia in our fight the West
Never in life see evil people in my life
Uae looking for new profitable business
Is it at least possible? Giving the child the owner of a goatee a suit according to his size😂🤣🤣
Mount of my respect 🙏🏻for the Arab Community with the Struggle of Syria sovereignty over the world of the Nato invading.
It’s not just the religious beliefs since your independence and laws rights on your support for the world community 🙏🏻. How’s democratic in race for you .
Still the old ” atrocities” allegation from the USA…
This is a master stroke of UAE…
P.S. US put them on grey list of FATF
US is isolating itself faster than isolating Russia and China lol now Asian countries are ganging up to counter the EU and US supremacy 😂
Good
Well the Americans skin …..is thick.
Who did that to Assad
There’s no our way is the right way to do it
Blocking that eagerness for our brother
Alkalb visits UAE after destroying his land for what? Get lost
Two of Satins little helpers
Super …das ende von europa,usa kommt näher… aber biden, und die dummen europäer begreiffen gar nichts,….,!
I like this, let everyone takes responsibilty. And all oil producing countries will not increase output, we`ll not.
Lebanon, Yemen, Syria if in 5 years I pray these countries have peace and stability.
Suriah dan UEA mereka semua saudara- saudara kami , salam hangat buat Suriah dan UEA dari Indonesia
This monster should be kicked OUT..EVERYWHERE. He killed so many people and kids in SYRIA
If anyone brought democracy to middle east then we can see pease in middle east.
Shamefull for the UAE the day on its prince sit with a terrorist who is responsible for killing of millions of syrian people….UAE is scared of houthi drone attacks might badly impact its tourism industry in future hence UAE using back channel to protect country from hauthi drone attack 😂😂😂 by hosting one of houthi terrorist ally.
