The Syrian regime will become increasingly isolated if it continues to make and break promises to end the violence against its citizens, the United States said Thursday as security forces reportedly killed more than 20 people, DPA reported.
"It's now incumbent on the Assad regime to prove it - first to the Arab League, and secondly to the larger international community - that it meant what it said when it committed to this deal," State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said a day after Syria agreed on a deal with the Arab League to end the violence.
"The Arab League will obviously draw its own conclusions if today, tomorrow, the next day, all of these promises that were made are again broken."
The number of countries that have pressured Syria to no avail will continue to lose the regime friends and increase the pressure on Damascus, she said.
"We will predict that if (Assad) doesn't meet his promises to the Arab League, the Arab League is going to feel that they had promises made, promises broken, and they're going to have to react," she said.
