US Will Recognize Syria If It Renounces Terror, Protects Minorities

The Biden administration has announced its intention to recognize and support a new Syrian government that disavows terrorism, eliminates chemical weapons, and upholds the rights of minorities and women. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that the U.S. would collaborate with various groups within Syria and regional allies to ensure a smooth transition from the ousted regime of President Bashar Assad. However, he did not specify which groups would be involved.

Blinken reiterated that the future of Syria should be determined by the Syrian people, with other nations encouraged to support a transparent and inclusive process without interference. He assured that the U.S. would recognize and fully back a Syrian government that emerges from this process, offering support to the country’s diverse communities.
