Syrian Regime Collapse: A Blow to Putin,Says Former EU Diplomat
Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell hailed the fall of the Syrian regime,calling it a “tyrannical” entity responsible for immense suffering.

Speaking to reporters, Borrell described the regime’s downfall as “a major military and geopolitical failure” for Putin. He also expressed cautious optimism about the new rebel leader,acknowledging a “clear jihadist past” but noting a recent shift towards a more moderate stance.
“He says his goal is to govern his country, not export his ideology, and that he doesn’t question Israel’s existence,” Borrell explained. “is it credible? Is it a facade? nobody knows. But the choreography, even his way of dressing and speaking, suggests they want us to stop considering them a terrorist organization.”
while Borrell didn’t explicitly advocate for immediate removal of the rebel group’s terrorist designation, he emphasized the need to assess the current situation.”His past is his past, but his present is his present,” he stated, urging a deeper understanding of the forces behind the swift victory.
Borrell, who recently concluded his tenure as the EU’s top diplomat, expressed satisfaction with the bloc’s unified response to the war in ukraine. Though,he lamented the lack of similar unity in addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“The world reproaches Europe for focusing on Ukraine while seemingly indifferent to the deaths in Gaza and Palestine,” Borrell lamented. “Brussels has merely pleaded with Netanyahu to halt the destructive path,but to no avail.”
