In Washington this week, Syria’s interim President, Al-Charaa, continued his diplomatic rehabilitation operation. In Algeria, Boualem Sansal was pardoned. Germany played a major role in this outcome. Finally, in France, the November 13 anniversary reignited emotions as authorities warned of the continued high terrorist threat.
