There is a coalition of 83 countries focused on ISIS. That&#8217;s our legal basis,&#8221; McGurk added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with <em>Carnegie Connects<\/em> McGurk pointed out that the basis for the Coalition and &#8220;having partners and we are there for ISIS.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Over the last week, there was an attempted Prison Break in Hasakah, and our forces lend assistance to the Syrian Democratic Forces to retake the prison from ISIS fighters,&#8221; the US diplomat noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On January 20, ISIS sleeper cells carried a series of&nbsp;attacks on al-Sina\u2019a prison in the city of Hasakah, northeast Syria, where thousands of ISIS members are detained, to break their ISIS inmates fellows out of the prison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clashes between the SDF and ISIS caused a mass displacement of the residents of the neighborhoods surrounding the prison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;And just as a reminder, ISIS remains a very serious threat. That is why we&#8217;re there [Syria].
