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.

I think the Syrian people, when they marched in 2011, wanted the same thing, and they still want the same thing.

Our top-line goal for a Syria that we and the international community can live with is one that does not support terror...

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