By BEN HUBBARD and JAMAL HALABY, Associated Press BEIRUT (AP) The leader of the Western-backed Syrian opposition coalition resigned Sunday, citing what he called the lack of international support for those seeking to topple President Bashar Assad. The resignation of Mouaz al-Khatib deals a blow to the most credible body seeking to represent the opposition, which remains deeply divided and continues to struggle to present a united front two years into Syria's bloody uprising. Al-Khatib, a respected preacher who has led the Syrian National Coalition since its creation late last year,toms outlet, said in a statement posted on his Facebook page that he was making good on a vow to quit if certain undefined "red lines" were crossed. "I am keeping my promise today and announcing my resignation from the National Coalition so that I can work with freedom that is not available inside the official institutions," he said. He also blamed world powers for providing insufficient support for the rebel cause and complained that many "international and regional parties" insisted on pushing the opposition toward dialogue with the regime. Most opposition leaders and activists say Assad's regime has killed too many people to be part of a solution to the conflict. "All that has happened to the Syrian people from destruction of infrastructure to the arrest of tens of thousands to the displacement of hundreds of thousands to other tragedies is not enough for an international decision to allow the Syrian people to defend themselves," the statement said. Al-Khatib was chosen to serve as president of the Coalition, which was formed in November under international pressure to serve as the opposition's official liaison with other countries and coordinate anti-Assad forces inside and outside of Syria. Despite electing a new, U.S.-educated prime minister to head a planned interim government last week, the Coalition has failed to establish itself as the top rebel authority on the ground in Syria, where hundreds of independent rebel brigades are fighting a civil war against Assad's forces. The Coalition did not immediately respond to al-Khatib's resignation. Al-Khatib's spokesman, Ali Mohammed Ali, confirmed the authenticity of the statement in a phone call with The Associated Press. He declined to discuss any issues inside the Coalition that could have influenced al-Khatib's decision. Speaking on Al Arabiya TV, the former head of the Syrian National Council, which preceded the coalition, said that he and other coalition members were surprised by the resignation. Burhan Ghalioun also said he assumed the resignation was a protest against world powers that have not provided the opposition with the aid it needs, unnamed countries that have interfered in the coalition's work and other coalition members who have impeded al-Khatib's work.
