Syrian Envoy to UN Does Not Expect US Withdrawal to Impact White Helmets Actions

The withdrawal of US troops from Syria is not expected to affect the activities of the White Helmets organization in the country, Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar Jaafari told Sputnik.

On Thursday, Jaafari participated in a UN roundtable discussion on the White Helmets’ activities in Syria, including human organs theft, looting, building fortifications for terrorists, and corruption, as presented in a research by the Foundation for the Study of Democracy.

When asked if the White Helmets’ provocations in Syria would stop after the pullout of US forces or would they expand to bring American troops back, Jaafari said, “These two issues are not related.”
