Syria's interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa called on Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes to commit to a ceasefire to end clashes with Druze-linked militias. Despite his plea, fighting persisted in Sweida. Government forces, initially deployed to restore order, sided with the Bedouins. Al-Sharaa condemned armed groups from Sweida for reigniting conflict and cited Israeli airstrikes in support of Druze militias as a contributing factor. A ceasefire was announced through American and Arab mediation, yet al-Sharaa emphasized the need for state authority in maintaining security.
Al-Sharaa urged Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes to fully commit to a ceasefire aimed at ending clashes with Druze-linked militias that left hundreds dead.
Despite the call for a ceasefire, clashes continued in the southern province of Sweida, highlighting the ongoing violence in the region.
Al-Sharaa indicated that the Israeli intervention was pushing Syria into a dangerous phase, impacting the country's stability and security.
He stated that the Bedouins cannot replace the state's role in handling affairs and restoring security amid the ongoing conflict.
