Summary

70% Informative

Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the US has been in contact with the rebel group.

He did not give details on when the contact was made or at what level.

The US also shared the principles expected of a new Syrian government, including that rights of all Syrians should be respected, that the country must not become a base for terrorism.

A US official said Friday that Blinken intends to make clear to his Arab counterparts that Israel told the US that the incursion is temporary — and that the US expects it to be. That policy could change, however, next month when the Trump administration takes office, this official conceded. This story has been updated with additional information.
