In a telling flurry of tweets, UAE security advisor and former Dubai police chief General Dahi Khalfan came out swinging - backing the Syrian state just as Hikmat al-Hijri’s narco-warlord militias shattered the ceasefire again, even mid-prisoner exchange. Khalfan doesn’t freelance regional policy - his tweets align with UAE positions, public or private. And this one? It reads like a signal: enough is enough.

Behind closed doors, even Jordanian diplomats admit al-Hijri is impossible to mediate with as he displays “erratic, unhinged, irrational” behaviour on phone/video calls.

The consensus across regional capitals - minus Israel - is shifting: al-Hijri is the problem. The longer the conflict drags, the more indefensible it becomes to support him.
