The House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa and Global Counterterrorism held a hearing Thursday on “10 Years of War: Examining the Ongoing Conflict in Syria.”
While the subcommittee chairman, Democrat Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida, began the virtual event by calling for a “political solution” to the 10-year-old civil war, and Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad remains in control of key parts of the country, options for regime change were also discussed.
