Germany Eyes 80% Syrian Refugee Return in 3 Years
Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz aims for 80% of Syrian refugees to return home within three years, a plan discussed with Syria's interim president. While viewed as a potential win-win for rebuilding Syria and easing Germany's burden, the proposal faces scrutiny over economic impacts and conditions in Syria. President al-Sharah's visit, despite his controversial past, signals a step towards international engagement and potential refugee repatriation.
