EU to extend sanctions against Syria despite COVID-19 pandemic

BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:00 P.M.) – European Union officials have confirmed their intention to extend sanctions against the Syrian government, despite the COVID-19 outbreak across the world.

The official, whose identity was not revealed, again called for a political solution to the conflict in Syria. Another official from the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Authority said, “The sanctions will be extended soon.” During the 73rd session of the World Health Assembly, the Syrian Minister of Health, Nizar Yazigi, announced that “harsh and unjust” U.S. and European sanctions hinder efforts to combat the spread of the coronavirus in Syria.
