U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed that the United States is committed to supporting its regional allies, including Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Israel, in case any threats arise from Syria during the transitional phase following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Biden stated in official remarks that the U.S. administration is closely monitoring the situation in Syria, noting that the transitional period may witness security challenges that require international cooperation to ensure stability in the region.

The Importance of U.S. Support

• Strengthening Border Security:

Biden emphasized the importance of protecting Washington's allies' shared borders with Syria from any potential infiltration by extremist elements or armed groups.

• Preventing Chaos:

He pointed out that the transitional phase must be managed carefully to avoid creating a security vacuum that terrorist groups like ISIS could exploit.

Regional Coordination

Biden explained that the United States is working closely with governments in the region to ensure full coordination, providing security and intelligence assistance if necessary.

Long-term Commitment

The U.S. President affirmed that supporting America's allies in the Middle East is a core part of its strategy to ensure the stability of the region and achieve security and peace.

These remarks come amid rapid developments on the Syrian front following the fall of the Assad regime, where neighboring countries are expected to face significant security and economic challenges.
