United Nations Security Council members will work on a statement on Syria in the coming days, U.S. and Russian diplomats said on Monday, after a closed-door meeting over the rebel seizure of the capital Damascus and ousting of President Bashar al-Assad.

The article from MSN discusses the recent developments in the UN Security Council regarding the situation in Syria. Diplomats have noted a rare moment of unity among the Council members, particularly in their response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the civil war. The focus has been on ensuring aid delivery to northwest Syria through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing from Turkey, which had previously been a point of contention. The Council's unity comes after a period of discord, with members agreeing on the necessity of humanitarian access without political conditions. This consensus was influenced by the dire humanitarian needs following the devastating earthquakes in February 2023, which underscored the urgency of aid. The article highlights that while the agreement on aid is a positive step, the broader political and military issues in Syria remain unresolved, with ongoing discussions about sanctions, political transitions, and the fight against terrorism.
