Al-Majali noted that a military resolution of the Syrian crisis would be "unacceptable." Jordan has always supported the political settlement of the conflict in Syria and the international efforts to end the civil war in its neighbor state, the ambassador added. Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups. A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire came into force across Syria on February 27, but it does not apply to terrorist organizations active in the country, such as the Daesh and Nusra Front, both outlawed in Russia. Jordan has been a part of the the Friends of Syria format, a group of countries and international organizations that convene to discuss the topic of the Syrian crisis outside the UN Security Council.
