He added that the US violation of the cessation of hostilities proves its indecisiveness in its claims about fighting terrorism and endeavors to find a political solution, affirming that fighting terrorism in Syria must be in coordination with the Syrian government.

“Syria is a sovereign country, and President al-Assad is the elected leader who was chosen by the Syrian people,” she added.
