U.S. Envoy Announces Syria-Israel Ceasefire Agreement Amid Regional Tensions
Nada Mustafa U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, announced that Syria and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire following several days of escalating tensions, including Israeli airstrikes targeting Damascus and Syrian military sites, allegedly to 'protect the Druze.' In a statement posted on Platform X today (Saturday), Barrack said, 'The agreement has been welcomed by Turkey, Jordan, and other neighboring countries.' He also urged 'the Druze, Bedouins, and Sunnis to lay down their arms and cooperate with other minorities to build a new, unified Syrian identity, one that lives in peace and prosperity with its neighbors.' Neither Syria nor Israel has issued an official statement confirming the agreement. The ceasefire follows Israeli air raids carried out last Wednesday, which Israel claimed were intended to safeguard the Druze population. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
