Qatar has urged the rapid lifting of international sanctions on Syria in the wake of the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The call was made by Majed bin Mohammad Al Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a regular press briefing. He emphasized the importance of supporting Syria’s transition by fostering an inclusive political process and ensuring free and fair elections.
“Qatar stands firmly behind efforts to promote peace, stability, and democracy in Syria,” Al Ansari said, underscoring the need for collaborative action to rebuild the war-torn country.
On Monday, a high-ranking Qatari delegation visited Syria and held discussions with representatives of the transitional government. The visit is seen as a significant step toward strengthening diplomatic engagement and exploring avenues for Syria’s recovery in the post-Assad era.
While Qatar’s appeal for the removal of sanctions reflects its commitment to Syria’s reconstruction, it also highlights the challenges facing the transitional government in uniting the country and addressing pressing humanitarian needs.
Observers believe that Qatar’s initiative could pave the way for broader regional cooperation to rebuild Syria and stabilize the region.
