"The German government's tightrope act Al-Sharaa is accused of serious human rights violations dating back to the period before the overthrow of long-time ruler Bashar Assad and in some cases even afterward."
"Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that a 'joint task force' would be established and a German delegation would visit Syria 'in just a few days.'"
"More than a year after Assad's ouster and the end of the civil war, the general conditions in Syria have 'fundamentally improved,' Merz said, adding that anyone who no longer had a right to residency in Germany should."
Germany hosted Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa, despite his controversial past involving human rights violations and leadership of the al-Nusra Front. Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier welcomed him, emphasizing the importance of cooperation for Syrian repatriation. Al-Sharaa's visit was met with mixed reactions, with some media labeling it the year's most controversial state visit. The German government plans to establish a joint task force and send a delegation to Syria soon, citing improved conditions in the country post-civil war.
