Syria’s opposition needs more help in its struggle against President Bashar al-Assad and Washington wants to find ways to speed up a political transition, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Wednesday.
The Washington Post reported this week that the White House was considering a shift in policy and could send the rebels body armor and armed vehicles and provide military training. The report said U.S. officials still oppose providing arms.
“We are examining and developing ways to accelerate the transition the Syrian people seek and deserve,” Kerry told a news conference with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
He said Washington wanted the Syrian opposition’s advice on how to speed up a political solution which would be the best way to end the bloodshed and protect the interests of the Syrian people.
