An agreement between Israel and Syria, brokered by the United States, was announced by the Syrian Center for Human Rights

The document includes measures to protect the Sweida region, where the Druze population has suffered attacks from the Syrian government.

What does the agreement say?

1. Withdrawal of Armed Forces: All local tribal forces and Syrian government troops must leave Druze villages.

Druze units will conduct inspections to ensure this happens.

2. US Control: The Sweida region will be overseen by the United States, which will ensure compliance with the agreement.

3. Local Councils: Councils of Sweida residents will be created to manage the region’s essential resources and services.

4. Monitoring Committee: A group will be formed to monitor the agreement and report any noncompliance to US authorities.

5. Disarmament at the borders: The cities of Quneitra and Daraa, near the border with Israel, will be disarmed.

Only light weapons will be permitted, controlled by security committees formed by residents.

6. Restrictions and access: Organizations linked to the Syrian government are prohibited from entering Sweida, but the UN will have access to the region.

I met this evening with the Syrians and Israelis in Paris. Our goal was dialogue and de-escalation, and we accomplished precisely that. All parties reiterated their commitment to continuing these efforts.

Official statement: Tom Barrack, the US special envoy to Syria, stated that the negotiations in Paris with Syrian and Israeli representatives aimed to promote dialogue and reduce conflict.

He emphasized that all parties committed to continuing these efforts.

This agreement seeks to bring peace and security to the region, especially for the Druze community, through international cooperation.
