During world war 2 kate im open has more on the development. Denounce the decades of war by the United States and said that he intended to deescalate and bring u. S. Troops home from around the world at this point as trump has announced that u. S. Forces have withdrawn from northEastern Syria where they were intermingled with the kurdish fighters he also announced that the captured i still fighters will be transported out of the region we have no soldiers in the area. Weve been talking to turkey for 3 years theyve been wanting to do this for many years as you know theyve been fighting each other for centuries we were put into this battle interjected it was supposed to be a 3030 day period and weve been there for many many years we are. Taking some of the most dangerous isis fighters out weve taken him out and were putting them in different locations where its secure donald trump has faced Harsh Criticism for his decision and its being widely reported that he seems to be turning a blind eye on turkeys offensive against the s. D. F. Fighters who were allies of the United States now trump has responded to this criticism by pointing out that the kurds did not support the United States during the 2nd world war and were not involved in the invasion of normandy has been accused by any political figures in the United States of a centrally abandoning a longtime ally of the United States but trump has said that the United States really had nothing to gain by supporting these Kurdish Forces now its being reported that the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke to mike pompei o the u. S. Secretary of state and that they have reached a common understanding regarding their operation against the kurdish militias in northEastern Syria now there has been a strong reaction from a number of European Countries that do not approve of turkeys recent decision and took as will. To be free street and to scope. Pollutions. As we are speaking on the way. This action is looked leading to good results the secretary general is very concerned by the recent developments in northeast syria any military operation must fully respect the u. N. Charter and International Humanitarian law the turkish offensive in the northern Eastern Syria is a danger he danger to the safety of the currents it danger because it helps dies who have been fighting for 5 years it needs to stop so france has brought the matter to the Security Council now theres been a strong reaction from a number of middle Eastern Countries as well jordan lebanon and other countries have spoken up denouncing turkeys move weve also heard from the president of iraq the iraqi president said that this was a grave escalation that will cause untold humanitarian suffering and empower terrorist groups throughout nato secretarygeneral stoltenberg has said that turkeys response should be proportionate to the threats that it faces our ally turkey is at the forefront of the crisis in the house looked at the concerns it has suffered horrendous terrorist attacks on thursday there is expected to be a u. N. Security Council Meeting regarding the situation with the turkish offensive against kurdish Kurdish Forces in northEastern Syria tensions remain high in the region as the United States has withdrawn its forces and turkey has swung into action but we also discussed it took a separation and its potential consequences for the region with a number of analysts. The kurds have been a natural ally for the united state and for the united stated for the World Community and the u. N. Looks to me that the donald trump does not understand his Security Team his national Security Team in his own administration he does not understand the complexity of the issues the kurdish issues the Kurdish People exist in that region and many folks disagreed with him from our matters to bolton and others so i think this is a problem for him he makes a decision in trying to come up with excuses to convince himself and this is wrong the Kurdish People deserve and they be half of the humanity to crush isis and now donald trump is going to let them loose we are talking about displacement and effectively genocide of innocent kurdish civilians innocent communities within that region so it is absolutely terrifying to know how you know the communities are feeding as they are continually being bombarded by the turkish offensive the kurds have always been on the defensive but now they know they must defend themselves and their families which means that unfortunately they may not be able to police the the camps that hold isis and the isis prisoners and also you know there are reports that actually within the camps there are some rebellions you know some isis rebellions going on so unfortunately the Security Threat is there for then raised and you know it is now going to cause a big vacuum and a significant problem in terms of security in turkish main port is. That turkey has modeled and political and military are already gazed on to bring these Syrian Refugees here in turkey and since many years back to their counter turkey trying to control the area. That y. P. G. Forces could not fill this area and prevent that these Syrian Refugees cannot come back so this areas not kurdish territory the territories belong to state and turkey together with iran and russia. To protect the territorial integrity of. State to be an army should be the one who actually takes care of the security situation i think the turks have been 3 allies that theyre taking advantage of the fact that the americans withdrew from the area to actually bomb the kurds and this is only going to create more bloodshed you know and this is all coming from of the american confusion because it seems like mr the lover of said today the contradictions are actually indicate that there is no Clear Strategy or policy for the americans and that creates chaos and that chaos is dangerous for human lives and suffering and will actually lead to more destruction.

K. s National CounterterrorismSecurity OfficeChris Phillips believes the fact that the tactics placed on the jewish holiday may have been significant. Just one day a year that could have been chosen but of course it is a significant day we often see terrorist attacks take place on significant occasions religious occasions and i suppose well soon find out who the suspect the people all that did this but the fact that a turkish combat child has been attacked as well tends to lend to this is probably some something of the right wing extremism that its on this well theres always the possibility of prevention but that comes from good intelligence and clearly thats not always going to be successful the interesting point here is that synagogues do take security seriously and and i think the fact that they are unknown and aware of the dangers that they face when there are a prayer except are probably prevented the deaths of.
