9 December 2024 19:33 GMT
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday warned that the Islamic State group will try to use this period to re-establish capabilities in Syria, but that the United States is determined not to let that happen.
He added that the Syrian people have to be the ones to choose their future, saying that statements by rebel leaders toward building inclusive governance are welcome, but that the real measure will be in the actions they take.
