TABQA: The Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) agreed on an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts on Sunday after days of fighting as the army advanced into Kurdish-held territories in the northeast. The ceasefire will be in parallel with the withdrawal of all SDF affiliated forces to the east of the Euphrates River, according to a document published by the Syrian Presidency on Sunday. The deal entails merging all SDF forces into the defense and interior ministries after conducting required security checks, the statement said.

President Ahmed al-Sharaa said the deal would allow the Syrian state to reassert control over most areas.

Agreement will see government takeover of SDF-controlled areas, and SDF integration into Syrian military.
