Washington, February 22 (QNA) - US Administration expressed its support for a call by the International Committee of the Red Cross for a humanitarian ceasefire in Syria to allow aid to reach the affected civilians by the repression campaign waged by the Syrian regime against its opponents. White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a press conference "The reprehensible actions taken by the Assad regime, the brutal violence perpetrated by the Syrian leader against his own people has led us to this situation where humanitarian supplies are very scare, and therefore action needs to be taken."
Asked about the possibility of arming the rebels, Carney said that the United States is not planning to arm the Syrian rebels, but that the White House will consider all options. We still believe that a political solution is what is needed in Syria." (QNA)
