Germany's Foreign Minister visits Syria; Baerbock captured in photos.

This was reported by Bild on Sunday, January 5.

Retouched Photo of Baerbock

In the photos published on the Almharar Telegram channel, Baerbock's face is blurred using a "blur" effect. However, she can be recognized by her clothing.

Unlike Baerbock, her French colleague Jean-Noël Barrot is depicted without alterations.

He is shown in the photo alongside Syrian politicians and other officials.

"Almharar is linked to the Free Syrian Army, the largest opposition movement in Syria to date, which has just taken power. This means the channel is close to the new rulers but is not an official Syrian news agency.", writes Bild.

This instance of censorship raises doubts about the attempts of Syrian leaders to present themselves as moderate and open to international cooperation.

Baerbock Did Not Shake Hands

In addition to the "blur" in the photo, Baerbock refused to shake hands with the new Syrian leaders.

The leader of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, extended his hand only to Jean-Noël Barrot. However, he greeted Baerbock differently—placing his hand on his chest.

It is worth noting that after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, Syrians fleeing the war began to return home en masse.

Additionally, Russia is preparing for a significant relocation of military equipment and weapons from Syria to Libya. The arrival of Russian ships at the naval base in Tartus is expected for the evacuation of troops from the country.
