Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held urgent talks late Tuesday to address Syria's escalating crisis, following President Bashar al-Assad's resignation and flight to Russia. 🌍 The call, confirmed by both nations, highlighted a shared push for a 'comprehensive political process' to restore stability in the war-torn country.
Abdelatty stressed Egypt's support for Syria's sovereignty and condemned Israel's control over the Golan Heights buffer zone, calling it a breach of international law. Meanwhile, Blinken emphasized a 'historic opportunity' for Syrians to rebuild but urged protection of human rights and minorities.
The talks come days after Syrian militant groups toppled Assad's government, marking a dramatic shift in the decade-long conflict. With Assad seeking asylum in Russia, global eyes are on whether this chaotic exit will pave the way for lasting peace—or deeper chaos.
