The Call: How Will the Downfall of Syria's Assad Reshape the Middle East?

In this edition of The Call, we discuss how Syria, now led by Abu Mohammed al-Golani, faces a pivotal inflection point akin to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in the Middle East. If this government shift materializes into something more substantial, it could end decades of isolation, redraw Middle Eastern trade routes, and disrupt global power dynamics. On a special rapid response episode of the Call, Jennifer Miel, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Vice President of Middle East, Central Asia, and Türkiye, joins host Jay Sapsford to offer context and the best guideposts to watch as this story unfolds.
