Amman – The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has welcomed the steps announced by the United States to begin procedures for removing Syria’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. Amman considered this shift a positive and significant development that would contribute to supporting efforts to achieve stability and enhance chances for comprehensive recovery in Syria after years of crises.
Supporting Sovereignty and Alleviating Humanitarian Suffering
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed its keen interest in following the American moves regarding the Syrian file, emphasizing that any efforts supporting Syria’s stability and preserving its territorial integrity and sovereignty directly and positively reflect on the security and stability of the entire region. The ministry called for the necessity of unifying international efforts to provide a conducive environment for reconstruction and improve economic and humanitarian conditions to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people, paving the way for a new phase of peace and rebuilding.
Jordanian Commitment to Political Solutions and Refugee Return
Amman renewed its firm stance supporting comprehensive political solutions to the Syrian crisis based on international resolutions, stressing the importance of maintaining the cohesion of Syrian state institutions to ensure sustainable security. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry indicated that achieving this stability is a fundamental condition for creating appropriate and encouraging circumstances for the safe and voluntary return of Syrian refugees to their homeland.
New Horizons for Regional Diplomacy
This Jordanian position follows Washington’s announcement of starting the legal procedures preparatory to removing Syria from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a legal path that could reshape US-Syrian relations. Political observers believe that these steps could open broad horizons for intensive diplomatic movements, coinciding with serious regional and international endeavors to reintegrate Damascus into its Arab and international surroundings, and turn the page on a conflict that has cast its shadow over the region for more than a decade.
