On Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement condemning the escalating violence and civilian deaths in Syria, particularly the recent attacks carried out by radical Islamist terrorists. Rubio expressed strong condemnation of the terrorists, including foreign jihadis, who have murdered civilians in western Syria in the past days.
In his statement, Rubio affirmed the United States’ unwavering support for Syria’s minority communities, including Christians, Druze, Alawites, and Kurds. He offered his deepest condolences to the families of those affected by the recent violence. Rubio further emphasized the United States' commitment to standing with Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities during these challenging times.
The Secretary of State called for Syria’s interim authorities to take swift and decisive action in bringing those responsible for the massacres to justice. He urged that the perpetrators of such heinous acts be held accountable for their crimes against Syria’s vulnerable communities.
The recent wave of violence in Syria has led to increased fears for the safety of religious and ethnic minorities in the region, further complicating the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Rubio’s statement calls for both immediate action and long-term efforts to ensure the protection of these communities.
This condemnation follows a series of incidents in which civilians, particularly from minority groups, have been targeted in attacks believed to be carried out by radical elements within the conflict.
