Syria and Israel: Fragile Ceasefire? Despite the recently announced ceasefire between Syria and Israel, the southern Syrian province of As-Suwayda remains a hotspot of tension. The conflict, which erupted on July 13 between the Druze minority and Bedouin tribes, has claimed at least 940 lives — including civilians and medical workers — and forced 87,000 people to flee their homes. On July 19, with U.S. mediation, Syria and Israel agreed to a ceasefire. Damascus withdrew its forces from As-Suwayda, allowing Druze militias to take over local security. However, clashes resumed just hours later. The ceasefire remains largely symbolic. A fragile calm has set in — but for how long is unclear.

My comments on DW News: " The civilians will benefit from it (ceasefire), because the Syrian Arab army are now approaching Kurdish majority areas and I think there're gonna be a lot of sectarian tensions and violence if the Syrian army is allowed to enter those areas. And we saw also before that when the Syrian Arab Army moved into minority areas, like from Alawite and Druze, there were like thousands of people killed."
