Hebrew Media: 48-Hour Ultimatum Issued to Syrian Regime to Stop Clashes in Suwayda

Kokcha News: According to reports from Hebrew media, a 48-hour ultimatum has been issued to the Syrian regime to stop the ongoing clashes in Suwayda province. The ultimatum comes as violence between Arab tribes and Druze groups in the region shows no signs of abating.

The clashes, which began several days ago, have intensified, with both sides mobilizing fighters and engaging in heavy combat. The Syrian military initially intervened but faced retaliatory attacks from Druze groups, leading to significant casualties among regime forces.

The conflict in Suwayda stems from long-standing tensions between Arab tribes and the Druze community, which has a strong presence in the province. The recent escalation began with limited skirmishes but quickly spread, drawing in external actors and complicating the situation further.

Israel, citing the protection of the Druze community, has increased its airstrikes across Syria, including targeting key infrastructure in Damascus. The Hebrew media’s report of a 48-hour ultimatum suggests that Israel and other regional actors may be pressuring the Syrian regime to de-escalate the situation to prevent further instability.

In response to the growing violence, the Syrian presidency announced a new agreement brokered by Arab and American mediators, which led to the withdrawal of Syrian military forces from Suwayda. However, the clashes have continued, prompting the reported ultimatum.

The 48-hour ultimatum issued to the Syrian regime highlights the urgency of de-escalating the conflict in Suwayda, as the ongoing violence threatens to destabilize the region further.
