The United States condemned recent attacks by radical Islamist groups in Syria, urging Syrian authorities to hold perpetrators accountable. Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized the "radical Islamist terrorists," including foreign jihadis, responsible for killing civilians in western Syria.
Rubio reaffirmed U.S. support for Syria's religious and ethnic minorities, who remain at risk amid the violence. The attacks have raised concerns about the growing influence of extremists in Syria. Rubio emphasized the U.S. commitment to addressing the threat of terrorism and ensuring the safety of all Syrians.
While the U.S. has condemned the violence, it continues to push for a peaceful resolution to the Syrian conflict, focusing on protecting vulnerable groups and stabilizing the region.
