White House: Biden administration is closely monitoring ‘critical events in Syria’
According to Reuters, with the official announcement of the fall of the Syrian government and the departure of President Bashar al-Assad from Syria, US National Security Council spokesman Sean South announced that President Joe Biden is currently monitoring the “extraordinary events in Syria.”
He issued a statement announcing that President Biden and his team are closely monitoring the extraordinary events in Syria and are in constant contact with regional partners.
US President Joe Biden is “closely monitoring the extraordinary events in Syria,” the White House said late Saturday as anti-regime forces entered the national capital of Damascus.
Biden and his senior officials are “staying in constant touch with regional partners,” National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett said on X.
It came after anti-regime forces began to enter Damascus early Sunday after it had been lost by the Assad regime.
Protesters rose against the regime late Saturday in neighborhoods, while regime forces pulled out from critical sites such as the Defense Ministry, Interior Ministry, and the international airport.
With the entry of protesters into crucial areas, the regime had lost most of its control over the capital.
