The United Kingdom, together with France, the USA, India, and Israel, are crafting a way of dismantling the current Syrian government and partnering with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for new candidates and a new ruling system. 

This Saturday, 24th of February, the UK, together with the countries of France, the United States, India and Israel, has proposed the idea of dismantling the current government of Syria and partnering with the SDF for new presidential candidates, claiming that that is the only way to change the country’s current situation. However, the Syrian state, together with the Russian Federation, has stated that the government itself won’t be remodeled; nevertheless, they plan on implementing new regulations against the terrorist events that have often been taking place in the country.  

During Russia’s speech, the country stated that the real issue in Syria is the terrorist attacks and is, together with Syria, denying the possibility of disarmament of the military. Their claims on how the conflict should be resolved is by sentencing terrorists and people related to the attacks to confinement, and community service. Furthermore, the UK has claimed that “If the Syrian government doesn’t agree to a ceasefire and leave power position, the UK and the US will be implementing military force to ensure that the current Syrian government is dismantled so that our new ideals will be implemented. Additionally, the UK has mentioned multiple times that it will be providing humanitarian aid for the citizens and the reconstruction of the country and that they have no interest in taking a piece of the country for its own benefit, as its actions are “honest and purely for the benefit of Syria”. Moreover, the UK is also willing to end terrorism; however, they believe that the real core of the problem is the government itself. Russia has also made a point stating that the country has already tried multiple ceasefires in the past; however, none of them has worked, and said that “if it didn’t work then, it wouldn’t work now. We need other solutions”. 

To conclude, the UK and the US are planning on implementing military attacks on Syria to prevent the government from continuing to harm the population. Whilst Syria will deny those attempts, and as they are now allied with Russia, they can seek more protection.
