US ambassador Tom Barrack announced a ceasefire between Syria and Israel, supported by the US and embraced by Turkiye, Jordan, and Syria's neighbors, aimed at ending recent sectarian violence.

Syrian government forces pulled out of Sweida after clashes with Druze-linked militias, which led to Israeli airstrikes in defense, followed by a mediated truce.

"Calling today for a ceasefire in Gaza without any condition, is just telling to the rest of the world that for us as Europeans, there is no double standard, and as we are attached to human lives, as we are attached to territorial integrity, we want the ceasefire, no discussion."

A trembling ceasefire has brought a pause to what had become the familiar sounds of explosions over Tehran. For my generation, war was something that belonged to the past—an impossible event, until this summer.

Khaled Elgindy posits that the U.S. maintains sufficient leverage to compel a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict, despite Israeli leaders' intentions.
