US Syria Envoy acknowledges the so-called “Caesar Act” aims at stopping the progress of the Syrian Arab Army in Idleb
The US Special Envoy for Syria James Jeffry has acknowledged that the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed on Syria and its allies, most recently , the so-called “Caesar Act”, aim at stopping the progress of the Syrian Arab Army in Idleb.
“It is one of the weapons and means to implement the US strategy in Syria,” Jeffry said, ignoring that such coercive measures target the living of the Syrian citizens, prevent them from rebuilding what terrorism had destroyed and hinder the return of displaced citizens.
He pointed out that there would be more political, security and military tools used to put pressure on the Syrian state.
The US envoy claimed that his country is concerned over the situation in Idleb, saying that the United States has plans to put huge diplomatic and economic pressure on Syria and Russia to stop their advance in Idleb, thereby supporting the terrorist groups there.
In a bid to solicit Turkey and deal another blow to the US-backed Kurdish militia, called the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) or (Qasad in Arabic), Jeffry expressed his country’s support for the Turkish military intervention in the region.
According to the Damascus-based “al-Watan” newspaper, the US diplomat said that Washington’s policy in Syria is based firmly on “making deep and huge political change in the structure of the ruling system in Syria, on realizing full Iranian withdrawal from the country and on defeating Daesh terrorist organization.”
Jeffry’s statements indicate that the United States wants to form a government in Syria from its tools, including the opposition forces that can help Washington implement its schemes in the region and they are ready to sign a “peace” agreement with the Israeli occupation.
During his visit to Turkey, Jeffry met Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, Turkey’s Presidential Spokesman Ibrahim Kalin and the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Sadat Onal to discuss with them the situation in Syria and developments in the region
