James Jeffrey: “What we really need in Idlib and throughout the rest of the country is a cease-fire.”

We think that this regime needs to subject itself to the U.N. process, free and fair elections, a new constitution or at least a reformed constitution, and a nationwide cease-fire.

It's unpleasant, it's transactional, it's ugly, but we and Turkey have very similar strategic goals.

This regime has used chemical weapons repeatedly.

We would do everything short of military force to try to hold off a Turkish incursion.
