Biden to see Russia FM, Syria opposition

The White House says Biden is scheduled to meet with Lavrov and Khatib on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in order to discuss the situation in Syria.

The US vice president would reportedly raise the issue of getting more humanitarian aid into Syria and would also discuss the political way forward in the Arab country gripped by more than 20 months of unrest.


The upcoming negotiation would take place after a reported Israeli attack on a research center in Syria.

On Wednesday, the Syrian army said two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a research center in Jamraya, near the capital, Damascus. Israel declined to comment on the incident.

Earlier on Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement expressed deep concern about the Israeli attack, which it described as “unacceptable.”

Russia condemns the “unprovoked” aggression of the Tel Aviv regime if the information proves true, the statement added.

“If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked strikes against targets located on the territory of a sovereign state, which brazenly infringes on the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motive used for its justification,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.

The Syria unrest began in March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the violence ever since.

The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.
