Swiss Paper Warns of German Deportations
Germany intends to issue directives to revoke the protection status of Syrians residing on its territory, after nearly two years since the fall of Bashar Assad's regime. Currently, fewer than 10,000 Syrians remain voluntarily in their homeland. The move to revoke the protection status is driven by the increasing number of Syrians whose residence rights have been withdrawn, with cancellations accounting for 23% of protection status reviews in the first half of 2026. This has become a significant administrative burden for the authorities. Approximately 450,000 Syrians live on social assistance after their protection status was revoked, with many continuing to integrate into the labor market, particularly in sectors that require workforce. If these directives are implemented, the revocation of residence permits may become routine, which is expected to lead to a substantial rise in the number of people leaving or required to leave the country.
