Thank you for that.
We all saw, in negative terms, how destabilizing the Syrian war became through millions of Syrians fleeing the war, radicalization and all of the negative ways that unfolded. Syria now has an opportunity to be, basically, the reverse of that. It is, as others have mentioned, an island of stability in a region at war right now. It has a chance to become a success story. Its leadership does need to be engaged conditionally, as others are saying, but constructively, the country needs material support.
In a world where so much seems to be getting worse, Syria is a place that is actually getting better, relative to how horrible things have been over the last 15 years and beyond. It is worthy of your investment, even in a time of ever more constrained resources.
