The Syrian government has declared a comprehensive ceasefire in the southern city of Sweida following days of intense clashes that have resulted in hundreds of deaths. The presidency urged all parties involved to immediately commit to the truce to restore peace and security in this Druze-dominated region.
The ongoing violence between Druze and Bedouin groups has displaced tens of thousands, creating a severe humanitarian crisis. To quell the hostilities, Syrian forces are planned to be deployed on the ground.
Key developments include:
- Israel agreeing to a ceasefire and permitting limited access for Syrian troops into Sweida as part of the peace efforts.
- The United States ambassador to Turkey confirming the ceasefire agreement.
- Support from neighboring countries such as Turkiye and Jordan for the ceasefire.
Despite these measures, sporadic fighting persists, leaving the situation fragile. The United Nations has called for an end to the bloodshed, which has resulted in over 700 deaths, including numerous executions.
This crisis highlights the complex regional dynamics involving Syria, Israel, and surrounding powers. The Syrian presidency has stressed that any breach of the ceasefire will be viewed as a violation of national sovereignty.
Efforts continue toward achieving lasting peace, with the goal of stabilizing the region and preventing further casualties. For ongoing updates, stay tuned to Questiqa World News.
