A coalition of civic and faith-based leaders is urging President Joe Biden to put Syria’s decadelong civil war at the top of his foreign policy agenda and appoint a personal envoy to push for peace.
“We are writing to you not only as the President of the United States of America but as a person of faith striving for justice at home and abroad,” read a letter obtained by Al-Monitor sent this month to Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
