Vollste Solidarität mit Muriel Asseburg! MA ist eine der integersten und kenntnisreichsten Expertinnen zum Nahostkonflikt in D und weit darüber hinaus. Die persönlichen Angriffe/haltlosen Unterstellungen sind eine Schande und haben in einem demokratischen Diskurs nix verloren!
Muriel Asseburg ist eine ausgewiesene und angesehene Nahost-Expertin. Die aktuellen Unterstellungen und persönlichen Diffamierungen weisen wir zurück. Wir unterstützen unsere langjährige Kollegin vorbehaltlos und erwarten Respekt und Höflichkeit im Umgang.

Excellent thread about the recent UNSC vote on cross border assistance for #Syria
(THREAD) Do you know the difference between 12 & 6+6? In Maths, there is no difference. In diplomacy, the difference is call a "constructive ambiguity". That's what just helped finding a compromise to keep the Bab el-Hawa cross border (XB) access for another year in NW #Syria.

Also shows how tremendously important the renewal of the cross-border resolution is. Otherwise, millions of lives are at stake, since no one misappropriates more humanitarian aid in Syria than the regime.
A very good illustration of some of the problems related to « crossline » assistance from the UN agencies based in Damascus and supposed to send humanitarian aid to civilians throughout the country. If the info below is confirmed, this raises at least two questions :

The humanitarian needs for 2021 for Syria and the region are $10 billion. With the overall result of just $3.6 billion the outlook on the rest of the year is rather bleak. #SyriaConf2021 #Syria
Honoured to announce the total #SyriaConf2021 pledge is €5.3 billion.

Of this, €3.6 billion for 2021 and €1.7 billion in multi-year pledges for 2022 and beyond.

International financial institutions and donors also announced €5.9 billion in loans on concessional terms.
