U.S.: New Authorities in Syria Must Adhere to Key Conditions

ARK News.. The United States has expressed hope that the announcement of Syria’s new government will mark a step toward building an "inclusive and representative Syria," emphasizing that the interim authorities must meet a set of essential conditions.

During a press conference, U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce acknowledged the suffering endured by the Syrian people for decades under the "authoritarian and oppressive rule" of the Assad regime. She expressed hope that the formation of the new government would signal a positive shift toward broader representation of all segments of Syrian society.

Bruce stressed that the interim Syrian authorities must "reject terrorism in all its forms," exclude foreign fighters from holding any official roles, and prevent Iran and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory.

Furthermore, she urged the new government to take verifiable steps to dismantle the chemical weapons arsenal previously controlled by the ousted regime and to contribute to uncovering the fate of missing Americans and other foreign nationals in Syria.
