Some reports said al-Sharaa was also sharing Reels, but the footage itself does not establish what he was watching or whether he was messaging anyone.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>The moment came as nearly 130 heads of state and government gathered in New York for the 81st UN General Assembly&#8217;s high-level debate.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Erdogan addressed the gathering on Tuesday, speaking about issues including Gaza, Palestinian statehood and reforms to the UN Security Council.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Al-Sharaa&#8217;s second UNGA appearance<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The viral moment came ahead of al-Sharaa&#8217;s own appearance at the UN. His visit marks his second attendance at the General Assembly after he became the first Syrian representative in nearly six decades to address world leaders at the UNGA in 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Al-Sharaa became Syria&#8217;s interim president in January 2025 after leading the offensive that overthrew longtime president Bashar al-Assad. Since then, his administration has sought to rebuild Syria&#8217;s international ties and engage with Western and Arab governments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Al-Sharaa&#8217;s phone moment contrasted with the major diplomatic issues surrounding his appearance in New York.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Syria&#8217;s new leadership has been seeking international engagement as the country attempts to recover from years of war and political upheaval. Al-Sharaa has also been involved in discussions concerning Syria&#8217;s relations with Israel and the status of the Golan Heights.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The footage of the Syrian leader scrolling on his phone quickly became one of the lighter moments from the opening days of the UNGA.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/watch-syrian-president-ahmed-al-sharaa-caught-scrolling-instagram-reels-during-erdogans-un-speech\/articleshow\/134431635.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa was caught on camera scrolling through Instagram Reels at UN meet.
