Nearly 300 Syrian 'White Helmets' Leave for West

AMMAN (Dispatches) – Around 300 Syrian ‘White Helmet’ workers who fled Syria for Jordan last July have left for resettlement in Western countries, a Jordanian foreign ministry statement said.
The kingdom has accepted their evacuation with the help of Zionist troops and Western powers after getting guarantees their stay would be temporary and they would be given asylum in Canada, Germany and Britain, officials said.
The so-called "aid group,” is accused of working with terrorists and launching false-flag gas attacks in Syria. In July, the White Helmets, fleeing advancing Syrian government troops, slipped over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights frontier and into Jordan with the help of Zionist troops and Western powers.
Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the time he had helped the evacuation at the request of U.S. President Donald Trump and other Western leaders.
The White Helmets have operated in terrorist-held areas in recent years.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on October 10 that chlorine canisters had fallen in the hands of Daesh terrorists after they attacked the headquarters of the White Helmets and al-Nusra Front terrorists in northern Syria.
Damascus says the so-called volunteer group staged the suspected chemical attack in the town of Douma in Syria's Eastern Ghouta on April 7. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has also described the White Helmets as "a branch of the al-Qaeda and al-Nusra" terrorist groups and a "PR stunt” by the United States, Britain and France.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed terrorism since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Zionist regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups wreaking havoc in the country.
Syrian army troops, backed by allied fighters from popular defense groups, have recently made major territorial gains in battles against Daesh and other foreign-sponsored terrorist groups, almost capturing the entire southern part of the country after securing the capital Damascus and other key areas.
The major militant stronghold remains in the northwestern province of Idlib, where government forces were preparing to launch a full-scale military operation.
