Summary
The Biden administration announced it will support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, protects women’s and minority rights, and dismantles chemical weapons.
This follows the ouster of Bashar al-Assad by the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which the U.S. designated as a terrorist organization in 2018.
While the U.S. may reassess HTS’s status, ongoing concerns about ISIS resurgence and regional instability persist.
Meanwhile, Israel has seized the Golan Heights buffer zone amid condemnation, and Biden is coordinating with allies, including Israel, on the evolving situation in Syria and Gaza.
The irony in this is almost too much. How can we say this while also supplying the arms to Israel so they can continue to kill women and children while also terrorizing places they have no business being. It’s all a fuckin joke.
You’re 100% correct. I mean… Mideast policy hypocrisy like this has been the norm all the decades I’ve been alive.
