Not as a title, but if i recall correctly, the first first article of the old constitution states that the Syrian Arab Republic is a Democracy. Also for what it’s worth, the Baath party was also officially “socialist”.
The lack of a monarchy isn’t enough to qualify as a republic, the people need to also hold some sort of power.
2 out of the 4 countries boardings Israel, Jordan and Egypt, have peace treaties with Israel. The Arab gulf nations were in the processes of normalizing relations.
Lebanon(Hezbollah) and Syria were basic Iranians proxy.
The only country that’s hellbent on wiping Israel off the map, beyond just lip service, is Iran.
