US and Allies Call for Inclusive Government in Syria
High-ranking diplomats from the United States, Turkey, the European Union, and Arab states agreed that the new Syrian government must respect minority rights, as stated by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken following talks in Jordan. The discussions emphasized support for a representative government and urged Israel to withdraw from the neutral zone along the Syrian border. The meeting excluded Russia and Iran, key backers of Bashar al-Assad, as the coalition seeks a peaceful and inclusive political transition in Syria.
