لكي لا يقال تركت السعوديه حلب
Since uprisings began in 2011, Riyadh has been a major backer of Sunni Arab opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Saudi Arabia’s staunch and enduring anti-Assad position stems from the Syrian strongman’s close relationship with Iran – Saudi Arabia’s long-time regional and sectarian rival – and from Assad’s brutalization of the Sunni Arab population. Saudi involvement has often been coordinated with both its Arab and other Sunni allies, and in some respects with the United States.
As early as June 2012, The New York Times spoke with unnamed U.S. and Arab intelligence officials who said that Saudi Arabia, along with Turkey and Qatar, was paying for weapons being funneled through secret channels to Syrian rebel fighters. In February 2013, the Times reported sizable small arms shipments that Saudi Arabia financed and – through third parties – provided to anti-Assad fighters in Syria. Notably, this material support was directed towards nationalist, moderate Islamist, or secular groups, largely under the banner of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
In May 2013 Reuters reported that Riyadh had secured primacy vis-à-vis Syria policy among the Gulf States and other allied Sunni countries. “Saudi Arabia is now formally in charge of the Syria issue,” as a Syrian rebel commander put it. According to unnamed Syrian opposition sources, Prince Salman bin Sultan and his brother Prince Bandar direct all private and state support for the Syrian rebels.
As the war continued, Saudi Arabia provided increasingly powerful weapons, such as U.S.-made TOW anti-tank missiles, to Syrian opposition forces. According to Syrian government and NGO sources, Saudi support enabled rebels to hold back Assad’s forces in several areas during 2015. Often, the unnamed sources who provide journalists with information about shipments of Saudi weapons have also indicated that Riyadh frequently cooperated with the CIA to facilitate the shipments. Riyadh also has participated openly but intermittently in the U.S.-led air campaign against ISIS in Syria, and the kingdom has been involved in training and equipping Syrian opposition militias at camps in Jordan.
