EU must 'step up direct engagement' with Syria leaders: European Commission President says

European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen said Tuesday Brussels would intensify its "direct engagement" with Syria's new Islamist-led rulers after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.

"Now we have to step up and continue our direct engagement with HTS and other factions," she told a news conference in Ankara, referring to the HTS rebels who ousted the Syrian strongman.
