US says it will support new Syrian leaders who protect women and renounce terrorism - eviltoast

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.

    How come Syria has to protect women, but US federal and state governments don’t?

        Look at the anti female healthcare laws that are being enacted across the US.

        Start with Florida and Texas as some of the more glaring examples.

          Could you be specific about which laws? I’m not saying you’re wrong I just want to know specifically what you are saying the government is doing that removes protections from women

          Unfortunately I can’t read people’s minds to figure out what their argument is.
