Historic U.S.-Syria Diplomatic Breakthrough
Syria's Foreign Minister, Asaad al-Shibani, arrives in Washington for the first high-level visit in over 25 years, signaling a major diplomatic shift. The U.S. aims to lift sanctions and mediate between Syria's new administration and Israel amid efforts to integrate Kurdish allies with the central government.
In a significant diplomatic development, Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani touched down in Washington on Thursday, marking the first official visit of its kind in over a quarter-century.
The visit, part of a U.S. policy shift favoring Damascus, involves discussions on lifting sanctions and mediating between Syria's new leadership and Israel. Sources confirmed the trip while Senator Lindsey Graham emphasized upcoming talks on U.S. sanctions.
The U.S. seeks to integrate Syrian Kurdish allies with Syria's central administration under President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who will soon appear at the UN General Assembly in New York. Efforts between Israel and Syria could see progress towards a security pact, signaling new diplomatic horizons.
