Assad: Trump could be “natural ally” against terrorism
On Wednesday, heavy bombardment of the rebel-held eastern districts of the besieged city of Aleppo continued, as part of a new offensive by Russian Federation and Syria. The young patients and their parents cowered alongside in one of the few hospitals still operating in rebel-held parts of Aleppo. “They’re not”, he said. Syria’s Civil Defense, known as the White Helmets, recorded at least 150 raids, more than double the number of attacks on Aleppo on Tuesday.
Survivors described the horrific assault and videos posted on social media showed rescuers working through the afternoon to pull victims from the rubble of bombed buildings.
“Life is upside down here”, said Zaher Azaher, a resident of eastern Aleppo, who added that his home had been hit for a second time. “Me and my staff and all the patients are sitting in one room in the basement right now, trying to protect our patients”, Hatem said in a statement obtained by CNN through SAMS. We are going to continue to try to find humanitarian steps that can reach the people there. “Pray for us please”. After the two men spoke by phone November 14, Russian Federation renewed its air campaign against rebel-held parts of Aleppo in Syria.
Trump said Friday that he was likely to abandon the American effort to support “moderate” opposition groups in Syria who are battling the government of President Bashar al-Assad, saying “we have no idea who these people are”.
When he was asked about Mr Trump’s campaign comments suggesting the USA should focus more on fighting Isis than the Syrian regime, Mr Assad remained cautious but said he would welcome such a move. “Bombing Aleppo and its population is not fighting against terrorism, as the regime pretends.What the regime and its allies are doing in Aleppo is actually fueling terrorism, it’s fueling radicalization”.
The Syrian President’s comments come after a television conversation between Mr Trump and Vladimir Putin, during which the pair reportedly agreed to work together to tackle worldwide terrorism and extremism.
It says incursion was meant to engage the Daesh Takfiri terrorists in the Syrian-Turkish border area as well as Kurdish fighters, who were themselves fighting Daesh.
“Now is not the time to ease up on the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism”, said Republican lawmaker Leonard Lance, according to The Associated Press.
“I think that our far bigger problem than Assad is ISIS, I’ve always felt that”.
“We’ve always believed along with our USA partners that the long-term solution here is a political solution that leads to a transition away from Assad”, Prime Minister Theresa May’s official spokesperson said.
After a brutal crackdown by security forces, it descended into a four-sided civil war that has driven nearly 5 million people from the country and left another 6.5 million internally displaced, according to United Nations figures.

The nuclear agreement attracted wide bi-partisanship criticism with the Iranian Regime being seen as untrustworthy and having gained too many concessions during the deal.
