DUBAI - Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said consensus was building in the Arab world that isolating Syria was not working and that dialogue with Damascus was needed “at some point” to at least address humanitarian issues, including a return of refugees.on Saturday mark a shift from the early years of Syria’s 12-year civil war, when several Arab states including Saudi Arabia, backed rebels that fought Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The minister said without a path towards “maximalist goals” for a political solution, another approach was “being formulated” to address the issue of Syrian refugees in neighbouring states and suffering of civilians, especially after the devastating earthquake that hit Syria and Turkey. Asked about reports that he would visit Damascus following visits by his Emirati and Jordanian counterparts after the earthquake, Prince Faisal said he would not comment on rumours.
Shunned by the West, Mr Assad has been basking in an outpouring of support from Arab states that normalised ties with him in recent years, notably the United Arab Emirates, which aims for Arab influence in Syria to counter that of Iran.Kuwait’s foreign minister told Reuters in Munich his country was not dealing with Damascus and was providing aid through international organisations and Turkey.
