They now control key regions in northwestern and central Syria, including strategic cities, and are advancing toward Damascus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts suggest that the opposition\u2019s unified and large-scale offensive could mark a pivotal moment in the Syrian conflict, as government forces face increasing pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Osama Ibrahim&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Kardo Roj<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 On Saturday, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump strongly criticized Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the ongoing chaos in Syria, emphasizing that the United States should avoid involvement in the conflict.
