Syria and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire, US ambassador to Turkiye, Tom Barrack, has announced, drawing an uneasy truce between the neighbours after days of air strikes and sectarian bloodshed in Syria’s southwestern Suwayda region.
Barrack said in a post on X early on Saturday that the ceasefire between Syria and Israel was “supported” by Washington and “embraced” by Turkiye, Jordan and Syria’s neighbours.
The US emissary also called on Druze, Bedouins, and Sunnis to put down their weapons and, jointly with other minorities, "build a new and united Syrian identity in peace and prosperity with its neighbors."

Reuters news agency is reporting that Syria’s so-called government misread how Israel would respond to its troops deploying to the country’s south this week, encouraged by US messaging that Syria should be governed as a centralised state.
