One US senator said the move 'ensures the reemergence of ISIS'

Tánaiste Simon Coveney has issued a rebuke of Turkey's military operation in Northern Syria.

The Kurdish peshmerga troops, who were crucial in the defeat of ISIS, had been allies of the United States, and many have described Trump's latest policy on the matter as a betrayal. "I am deeply troubled by Turkey’s announcement earlier today of the launching of a military operation in north-eastern Syria," Coveney said on Wednesday evening."The fight against ISIS made decisive progress earlier this year. Any unilateral military action against those groups which played a decisive frontline role in the fight against ISIS risks undermining this progress. Such action could also lead to further protracted instability and have serious humanitarian consequences.
