Conflicts: US emits: Israel and Syria agree to ceasefire

According to the US, according to the Israeli air strikes against Syrian government troops as a result of the violence between Drusen and Bedouins, both neighboring countries have agreed on a ceasefire. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa had approved with the support of a ceasefire, said the US ambassador in Turkey and special sentences for Syria, Thomas Barrack, on platform X.

In the past few days there have been fighting between Drusian militias on the one hand and Sunni Bedouins and government forces on the other. Israel had intervened in the conflict and had bombed the convoy of the Syrian government army on the way to Suwaida, but also a government building in Damascus. Israel justified his intervention by protecting the Druze. At the same time, Israel does not want to tolerate military forces in southern Syria after the fall of the Syrian ex-power holder Bashar al-Assad.

The US specialist Barrack wrote: “We call on Druze, Bedouins and Sunnis to put down their weapons and build a new and united Syrian identity together with other minorities that create peace and prosperity with their neighbors.” Barrack wrote about a “breakthrough”. According to observers, more than 500 people were killed in the fights in the Syrian province of Suwaida.

The Drusen are a religious minority that emerged from Shiite Islam. They live in Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan. In the Syrian city of Suwaida, they present the majority, in the province they live in settlement areas. Armed confrontations had already been given there in the past few months. The most recent fights are the most violent.
