  • Saudi Arabia announced with the starting of the change of the field’s balances in favor of the Syrian army of forming the Islamic alliance for the war on terrorism.
  • The Americans welcomed the alliance which is led by Saudi Arabia, and they considered the priority of the countries of the region for the war on terrorism a way for confronting the terrorism.
  • The Saudis forgot their alliance and they sank into the game of making use of the Syrian opposition in order to sabotage the political track of Geneva, thus the response was in the field, the sites of the groups of Saudi Arabia and Turkey were fallen in the north of Syria
  • The Saudis remembered their alliance and said that they will send ground forces to Syria, but after the American clarifications they added that the intension is the war on ISIS, and then they added that this will be through the Islamic alliance, but they did not receive any response about an American readiness for the ground participation for leading this intervention.
  • The Americans said that the work against ISIS must be in coordination among all the involved forces in the war, this needs coordination through the UN or American Russian coordination.
  • Saudi Arabia announced that the alliance which it leads will be held after more than a month to discuss the necessary steps; their leaders said that after taking decision, the matter needs six months in order to give the forces their tasks.
  • It is too late.
