I'm giving that comma in the hed some serious side-eye. I get Al-Jazeera isn't an English-native publication, but they usually do better than this. In this context, the comma is saying the two are unrelated. An "as" or "with" fixes the issue.

Would a semi-colon work, to tie the two phrases together?

I’d probably replace it with the word “after”

I mean, that could work as well. A comma in a hed replaces "and" -- semicolons are very rare, though.
