US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday voiced concern after ally Israel struck Syria’s army headquarters and said the violence impeded efforts to bring stability to the war-torn country. “We’re talking to both sides, all the relevant sides, on this and hopefully we can bring it to a conclusion, but we’re very concerned,” Rubio said when asked by a reporter about the Israeli strikes. In fuller comments afterward, Rubio did not directly reference Israel but spoke of the clashes in majority-Druze city of Sweida that Israel cited for its intervention.
