Against the backdrop of a rapid offensive by jihadists and pro-Turkish forces, the authorities of Jordan and Egypt proposed that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad leave the country and form an interim council, which will include representatives of the opposition, writes The Wall Street Journal, citing its own sources.
Isabel Coles and Summer Said said that as of Friday, December 6, Bashar al-Assad remained in Syria. Last week, his children and wife went into slavery, and his son-in-law went to the United Arab Emirates.
The U.S. Embassy in Jordan in Washington denies that Jordanian officials have urged Assad to leave the country.
Official Damascus does not comment on this publication.
