SUMMARY: Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized the need to maintain sanctions on Syrian officials involved in war crimes but advocated for a “smart approach” to aid the Syrian population following the overthrow of President Bashar Assad. Germany announced €50 million in humanitarian aid. European leaders seek an inclusive government in Syria, with involvement from all religious and ethnic groups, including women.
