US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Syria’s new leaders “have said that they have no interest in a war with Israel.”
“They have no interest in becoming a playground to export revolution. What they want is to build a country… and that’s what we’re willing to help them do,” Rubio tells a Congressional panel, explaining the US decision to remove sanctions on Syria.
