The summit comes amid a backdrop of tense Iraqi-Syrian relations, especially following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's government, which led to the flight of hundreds of Syrian regime soldiers into Iraqi territory. These soldiers reportedly feared reprisals from hardline opposition groups, particularly the Syrian HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham), now gaining influence in post-Assad Syria. Tensions further escalated after Iranian-backed armed groups in Iraq mobilized near the Syrian border, calling for intervention to support their counterparts in Syria—moves that provoked a strong reaction from the new Syrian leadership.

The Doha summit yielded several important outcomes, including a mutual agreement to reopen borders, resume bilateral trade, and extend an official Arab League summit invitation to Syria.
