A new Syrian peace plan appears likely to go nowhere after it was rejected by both sides and watered down due to differences between the United States and Russia. While there were reports that Moscow’s policies at the conference indicated some softening of its support for the Assad regime, the peace plan could actually make the Syrian crisis worse, at least in the short term.
UN-Arab League Syria peace envoy Kofi Annan convened a conference in Geneva, Switzerland on June 30 in response to the spiraling violence in Syria and to salvage his failed peace plan. The conference issued a vague communiqué in which the attendees agreed to push Syrian parties toward a transitional government.
