US Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaged in discussions with officials from Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Egypt to address the ongoing situation in Syria. These talks followed a previous conversation with the Turkish counterpart on Monday.
Blinken emphasized the US's commitment to supporting a new Syrian government that is democratically chosen by the Syrian people and upholds four key principles. These principles include respecting the rights of minorities, facilitating humanitarian aid, preventing Syria from becoming a hub for terrorism or posing threats to neighboring countries, and ensuring the safe disposal of any chemical weapons.
