Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The United States on Monday named a new envoy to Syria, the third since the beginning of the war four years ago.

Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that Michael Ratney, an Arabic speaker who served as US consul general in Jerusalem, and as a diplomat in Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco as well as Qatar, replaces Daniel Rubinstein, who has been tapped as US ambassador to Tunisia.
