At this pivotal stage, it is important that the message reaches the Syrian people clearly and accurately. What was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in recent days may have been misunderstood or misinterpreted in a way that does not reflect the reality of the American position.
The truth is that Secretary Rubio’s statements are fully consistent with supporting Syria’s stability, unity, and recovery. As clarified within American decision-making circles, the United States faced two options with no third alternative.
Either ignore the situation in Syria and let it collapse – a path that would inevitably lead to failure
Or engage with the understanding that the outcome is not guaranteed – but without engagement, failure is certain
Therefore, the decision was made to support Syria’s stability and work with Syrian national entities
The data indicates that Syria was on the brink of division and civil war, and that uncontrolled armed groups continue to threaten local and regional stability. Accordingly, Syria’s stability has become an international security necessity
The message from Washington is clear: support the transitional government in Damascus, consider Syria’s stability a priority, and encourage the international community to contribute to economic recovery as quickly as possible
Syria is not alone
The Syrian people are not alone
The path to recovery requires trust, unity, and will. The coming phase may bring positive developments
