The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom to discuss the current situation in northwest Syria.
We are closely monitoring developments in Syria and urge de-escalation by all parties and the protection of civilians and infrastructure to prevent further displacement and disruption of humanitarian access. The current escalation only underscores the urgent need for a Syrian-led political solution to the conflict, in line with UNSCR 2254.
