WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Tuesday it will recognize and support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, destroys chemical weapons stocks and protects the rights of minorities and women.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that the U.S. would work with groups in Syria and regional partners to ensure that the transition from President Bashar Assad’s deposed government runs smoothly.
He was not specific about which groups the U.S. would work with, but the State Department has not ruled out talks with the main Syrian rebel group despite its designation as a terrorist organization.
The qualified pledge of support for a post-Assad Syria comes as the Biden administration targets Islamic State fighters to try to prevent the group from reemerging as an international threat and maintains support for Israel as its forces conduct their own operations inside Syria.
The sudden ouster of Assad has left President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration to delicately maneuver through yet another volatile moment in the Middle East, while President-elect Donald Trump demands that the United States stay out of the fray.
US fails to do both domestically
Inb4 KKK becomes a legal political party and women becomes property…
KKK is already a legal political party, they’re just called Republicans
What if they denounce Israel and it genocide, or perhaps it’s unilateral attacks on their country without declaration of war, or their occupation of Syrian territory? I think we know how things are going to go for Syria.
As expected no word about Israel’s aggression.
For about six weeks.
By this Summer, Orange Man will will get orders from Vladimir to liberate Syria for Assad
