U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy to Syria, Thomas Barrack, announced that Israel and Syria have agreed to a ceasefire - after several days of confrontations between the Druze and President Ahmad al-Sharaa's regime forces, during which Israel attacked regime targets.
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, with U.S. support, have agreed to a ceasefire," wrote Barrack, who also serves as the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, on X.
According to him, "The agreement is supported by Turkey, Jordan and their neighbors." He added: "We call on the Druze, Bedouins and Sunnis to lay down their arms, and together with other minorities to build a new and united Syrian identity, while establishing peace and prosperity with their neighbors."
