Ben Wolfgang The Washington Times, Feb. 21, 2023 Second of three parts “He’s in danger of being outflanked by the very political constituency he created.

Vivian Salama and Stephen Kalin WSJ, Feb. 8, 2023 “Humanitarian aid that goes through Damascus has been weaponized for years.” The U.S.’s longstanding refusal to engage with Syria’s government, along with limited access to areas hit by catastrophic earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, has raised fears that Syrian victims could be denied lifesaving aid.
