Qatar has launched a humanitarian initiative, directed by its Emir, to supply Syria with natural gas via Jordanian territory. The initiative, announced by Qatar's ambassador to Damascus, aims to address the acute shortage in electricity production in Syria, starting with a supply of 400 megawatts and increasing gradually. This move involves the import of Qatari LNG through Jordan. The initiative has been approved by the United States, with multiple sources confirming that Qatar will begin supplying gas to Syria to help alleviate the country's power shortages. This development comes at a time when Syria, under the leadership of the interim government led by Ahmad al-Shara, has been suffering from an energy crisis following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. The Qatar-Türkiye Natural Gas Pipeline project, which was a $10 billion initiative aimed at reducing Europe's reliance on Russian energy, was not realized due to opposition from Assad. This new initiative, however, is seen as a significant step forward amid continued sanctions.
