US special representative for Syria set to travel Israel, Jordan, Turkey

The State Department said the new US special representative for Syria, James Jeffrey, would travel to Israel, Jordan, and Turkey a from Saturday to Tuesday on his first official trip abroad.

 

Jeffrey and his delegation will “underscore that the United States will respond to any chemical weapons attack perpetrated by the Syrian regime,” the State Department said in a statement.

 

They will also “address Russia’s specious allegations of international plans to stage a chemical weapons attack in Syria,” the statement said.

 

The United Nations on Thursday called on Russia, Iran and Turkey to forestall a battle in Idlib which would affect millions of civilians and could see both militants and the government potentially using chlorine as a chemical weapon.
