The special US envoy for Syria Thomas Burke called on Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara "to reconsider his policy and adopt a more inclusive approach after last week's bloodbath, or risk losing international support and Syria's disintegration." Last Friday, the envoy announced a ceasefire between Israel and Syria during the regime's efforts to control clashes between Bedouins and Druze in al-Suwayda, which led to the deaths of more than 1,300 people.
