Syria and Israel agree to a ceasefire • FRANCE 24 English
There are exchanges of heavy gunfire between Drew’s militia men and Sunni Bedawin tribes in Sueda, southern Syria. The renewed clashes are causing chaos in the streets, killing and wounding scores of people. Nearly 80,000 have been displaced as a result of the conflict. After pulling troops out of Seda on Thursday due to Israeli pressure, Syria’s government says it will send a dedicated force to end the clashes. But the Bedawins are now being supported by other tribal groups streaming into the area. Tribal forces are still arriving from all Syrian provinces. God bless the young men. In response to the violence, Syria’s neighbor, Israel, carried out large air strikes in Damascus earlier in the week. Israel said it was to protect the Drews minority. Both countries have now agreed to a ceasefire. Breakthrough. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmed al- Sharah supported by the USA have agreed to a ceasefire embraced by Turkey, Jordan and its neighbors. We call upon the Drews, the Bedwins, and Sunnis to put down their weapons and together with other minorities build a new and united Syrian identity, building peace and prosperity with their neighbors. Fractured by years of civil war and dictatorship, the fighting this past week poses a significant political and security challenge to Syria’s new government.
The Syrian presidency announced on Saturday an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire following days of bloodshed in the predominantly Druze province of Sweida that has left over 700 people dead, according to a war monitor. The US envoy to Syria earlier said that Israel and Syria had agreed to a ceasefire following Israel’s intervention this week in support of Druze armed groups that clashes with Bedouin clans and government forces.
