We are making sure that ISIS does not reconstitute: Antony Blinken | The Express Tribune

#usa #antonyblinken

US President Joe Biden’s senior aides, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, are making high-level visits to the Middle East to further U.S. diplomatic efforts. Their mission focuses on securing a Gaza ceasefire and advancing a hostage deal, as well as facilitating a political transition in Syria following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad. Blinken is set to visit Jordan and Turkey, while Sullivan’s stops will include Israel, Qatar, and Egypt.

Blinken emphasized that a critical U.S. objective in Syria is preventing the reemergence of ISIS. He also discussed how Assad’s sudden fall was influenced by reduced support from Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah, which had been exacerbated by various challenges in the region. The ongoing efforts by Blinken and Sullivan could play a pivotal role in shaping President Biden's foreign policy legacy, especially as his term nears its end.
