By Micah Halpern
Syrian President Bashar al Assad arrived in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for an official visit. On this trip, the Syrian president was accompanied by his wife Asma al Assad. Long isolated by the Arab world, more and more Arab states have signaled an openness to easing the isolation of Damascus. This visit was marked with more ceremony than the trip Assad paid to the UAE last year. Last year was Assad’s first to an Arab state since the Syrian civil war began in 2011. During that war Gulf states, including the UAE, backed the rebels fighting to overthrow Assad and his regime.
