Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa offered condolences to UAE Vice President and Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum following the death of his brother, Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on Monday. Dubai has declared 10 days of official mourning following his death.
The condolences come days after al-Sharaa met Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid in Dubai, where they discussed strengthening Syria-UAE relations and cooperation.
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has been diverting most of the country's resources toward building a large standing army and acquiring weapons systems, according to Israeli security assessments.
