Ceasefire in Sweida: A Glimmer of Hope

Syria's internal security forces initiated deployment in Sweida, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the country's interior ministry on Saturday.

This move coincided with an announcement by the U.S. envoy that Israel and Syria have reached a ceasefire agreement. The accord comes after severe clashes and bloodshed in the predominantly Druze area of Sweida, offering a temporary respite to the region.

The ceasefire marks a significant diplomatic achievement for the U.S. envoy who tirelessly negotiated to bring about a peaceful resolution after days of escalating violence.
