In a significant move towards peace, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a crucial discussion Tuesday night about the evolving situation in Syria. 🤝🌍
The two leaders emphasized the need for a comprehensive political process that includes all Syrian national components and parties. This inclusive approach is seen as essential for paving the way to restore stability and peace in the region.
Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's unwavering support for Syria's sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity. He strongly condemned Israel's control over the demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights, labeling it an occupation of Syrian territories and a blatant violation of international law. ✊🇸🇾
The Egyptian FM called on the international community to take responsibility and halt any assaults on Syria, highlighting the urgent need for global intervention to support peace efforts.
On his part, Secretary Blinken highlighted a \"historic opportunity\" for the Syrian people to build a better future. He stressed the importance of all actors in Syria respecting human rights, protecting religious and ethnic minorities, and upholding international humanitarian law. 📜✨
Adding to the gravity of the situation, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has resigned and sought asylum in Russia following a sweeping offensive by Syrian militant groups that led to the collapse of his government on Sunday.
