Over 1,000 participants from approximately 60 countries attended the fair, themed \"Syria Shines Again.\" Western companies and entities were present amid Syria's efforts to reconnect with international markets. However, Lt.-Col. Sarit Zehavi, founder of the Alma Research and Education Center, cautioned that the demonstration could strengthen Israel's resolve to maintain its buffer zone in Syria, suggesting it was a reflection of the new government's hostility.",
