Crisis summit in Jordan: Search for peace and stability for Syria

After the fall of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the situation in Syria is becoming increasingly complicated. The UN reports unstable conditions in some areas, and despite the change of power, the situation for religious minorities, especially Christians and Drusen, remains precarious according to the Islamic scholar Guido Steinberg. While the capital Damascus seems to be stabilized slowly, things look different in the northeast of the country. The cleanup and humanitarian care are still difficult there. Reports about landmines and explosive war residues, which recently demands the life of civilians, reinforce the concern about the security situation, as can be read in the live blog of Tagesschau

In the still battered country there are always violent clashes. In the past few days, several attacks have been reported in which civilians were again affected. According to the news agencies Reuters and AP, an Israeli air raid on the Nuseiriri refugee camp in the Gaza Strip has requested at least 20 to 25 fatalities. These attacks show the ongoing tensions in the region and the difficulties that arise from the military interventions of various actors - including Israel and the transitional government in Syria. Experts warn that Israel takes measures to prevent military resources from getting into the hands of extremists, as in the report by ZDF explained.
