لم تعد الرياض عاصمة القرار العربي فقط، بل أصبحت نقطة ارتكاز في ميزان السياسة الدولية، وحلقة وصل حقيقية بين المتخاصمين، وصانعة للقرارات الصعبة التي لا يصنعها إلا الكبار.
قام الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترامب بزيارته الأخيرة للمملكة، وتمثل الحدث الأبرز فيها بإعلان رفع العقوبات المفروضة على سوريا، وهي خطوة مفاجئة أعادت خلط الأوراق في المشهد الإقليمي.
القرار الذي جاء من قلب الرياض إلى قلب سوريا والعالم لم يكن ليحدث لولا إدراك واشنطن لأهمية الدور السعودي وصاحب السمو الملكي الأمير محمد بن سلمان في تقريب وجهات النظر وصياغة مسار جديد يعيد لسوريا عافيتها ومكانتها العربية.
صفق الأمير محمد بن سلمان للقرار وصفقت سوريا والعالم العربي في نفس الوقت، وارتفعت اللافتات تحية للقرار، وقال جبل قاسيون كلمته تحيةً للسعودية عندما وُضِعت «تحية للسعودية» على الجبل.
إن إعلان ترامب، من الرياض تحديداً، كان موقفاً صريحاً يحمل أبعاداً سياسية وإنسانية وأمنية جاءت تتويجاً لحوار عميق قادته المملكة.
وحملت الزيارة رمزية سياسية كبيرة، إذ أراد أن يُظهر التزام بلاده العميق تجاه حلفائها التقليديين في الشرق الأوسط، وعلى رأسهم السعودية-العظمى، وتُعد الزيارة نقطة تحول مفصلية، إذ دشنت عهداً جديداً من العلاقات، وجسّدت طموحات سعودية شابة بقيادة صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير محمد بن سلمان.
وكانت العلاقات السعودية-الأمريكية قد شهدت تحولات استراتيجية عميقة على مدى عقود اتسمت بالتعاون الوثيق والمصالح المتبادلة في كافة المجالات، إلا أن الزيارة الأخيرة للرئيس ترامب كانت إعلاناً عن تحالف استراتيجي متجدد.
وشكلت الاتفاقيات التاريخية التي تم توقيعها «حقبة ذهبية» للشراكة بين البلدين، كما وصفها بيان البيت الأبيض، وبفضل الرؤية السياسية للأمير محمد بن سلمان تحوّلت هذه العلاقة إلى شراكة متعددة الأبعاد تنطلق من مصالح مشتركة وتطمح إلى مستقبل أكثر استقراراً وازدهاراً.

من قاسيون أطل يا وطني
وأرى دمشق تعانق السحبا

Riyadh is no longer just the capital of Arab decision-making; it has become a pivotal point in the balance of international politics, a true link between adversaries, and a maker of difficult decisions that only the great can make.
U.S. President Donald Trump made his recent visit to the Kingdom, with the most significant event being the announcement of lifting the sanctions imposed on Syria, a surprising step that reshuffled the cards in the regional scene.
The decision that came from the heart of Riyadh to the heart of Syria and the world would not have happened without Washington's recognition of the importance of the Saudi role and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman in bridging viewpoints and shaping a new path that restores Syria's vitality and its Arab standing.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman applauded the decision, and Syria and the Arab world applauded at the same time, with banners raised in salute to the decision, and Mount Qasioun expressed its greeting to Saudi Arabia when "Greetings to Saudi Arabia" was placed on the mountain.
Trump's announcement, specifically from Riyadh, was a clear stance carrying political, humanitarian, and security dimensions that crowned a deep dialogue led by the Kingdom.
The visit carried significant political symbolism, as it aimed to demonstrate his country's deep commitment to its traditional allies in the Middle East, foremost among them the great Saudi Arabia. The visit marks a pivotal turning point, inaugurating a new era of relations and embodying the ambitions of a young Saudi leadership led by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Saudi-American relations have witnessed profound strategic transformations over decades characterized by close cooperation and mutual interests in all fields; however, President Trump's recent visit was an announcement of a renewed strategic alliance.
The historic agreements signed represented a "golden era" for the partnership between the two countries, as described by the White House statement. Thanks to the political vision of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, this relationship has transformed into a multidimensional partnership that stems from shared interests and aspires to a more stable and prosperous future.
In conclusion:
From Qasioun, I gaze, O my homeland
And I see Damascus embracing the clouds
