Ryder made his words in a press briefing in which he stressed the resumption of the joint operations between the SDF and the US-led Global Coalition to secure the absolute defeat of ISIS.

On Nov. 23, the SDF announced suspending its mission against the ISIS due to the latest Ottoman Turkish escalation in the SDF-held areas that started on Nov. 20.

Ferhad Shami, head of the SDF Media Center, quoted the forces’ Commander in Chief Mazloum Abdi as saying, "Due to our forces’ preoccupation with addressing the Ottoman Turkish occupation, they cannot continue their mission of pursuing ISIS cells. Currently, we’re forced to be preoccupied with confronting Ottoman Turkish aggression."

Ryder noted, "The partner operations with the Syrian Democratic Forces have resumed in full on December 9."

He stressed that the aim behind such kind of operations is to "prevent the reconstitution of ISIS."
