Overview
- The Syrian presidency published a signed accord ordering an immediate nationwide cease-fire, SDF pullback east of the Euphrates, and state takeover of border crossings and oil and gas facilities.
- Terms include individual integration of SDF personnel into the Defense and Interior ministries following vetting, recognition of Kurdish cultural rights, and the removal of non‑Syrian PKK elements.
- Syria’s Interior Ministry said its units began deploying in Tabqa after SDF withdrawals, as official outlets and monitors reported control of the city, the Euphrates dam, and Tabqa airbase with sporadic clashes persisting.
- SDF accused government forces of advancing beyond understandings toward towns and hydrocarbon sites, while casualty figures were disputed and reports varied on the status of the Al‑Omar field and Conoco plant.
- International engagement intensified, with CENTCOM’s commander urging a halt to offensive moves between Aleppo and Tabqa, Turkey welcoming the deal’s potential to bolster stability, and U.S. envoy Tom Barrack meeting President Ahmad Al‑Sharʿ in Damascus.
