The Syrian presidency has announced a new accord with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led group, indicating a step towards integrating the northeastern Hasakah province. This agreement gives the SDF a four-day timeline to draft a practical integration plan for the region.

No comments have been issued by the SDF following this announcement. The agreement comes on the heels of a ceasefire deal reached by the two parties on Sunday, yet the days that followed saw ongoing tensions.

This development marks a significant moment for Syria, as it seeks a stable integration strategy with the Kurds amid ongoing political and territorial complexities.
