WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 05th June, 2019) Reports of a potential deal between the United States, Russia and Israel to end the ongoing civil war in Syria lack credibility, US Special Representative Jim Jeffrey said during an event.
On Monday, the Saudi edition of Asharq Al-Awsat, citing Western diplomatic sources, reported that the United States and Israel intend, at a trilateral meeting in Jerusalem, to offer Russia recognition of Assad's legitimacy and the lifting of sanctions from the Syrian authorities if Moscow agrees to restrain Iranian influence in that country.
"There has been no agreement by anybody on... that laundry list of, I don't know whether to call them claims, accusations or assertions that I also saw in that same media. I wouldn't give a lot of credit to it," Jeffrey said during an event at the middle East Institute in Washington on Tuesday.
