According to the report, the Syrian regime backtracked on key commitments it had made, leading to the collapse of the negotiations. The development comes only hours after Ahmed al-Sharaa signed the agreement in front of cameras in what Kurdish sources describe as a performative move meant to project control and stability. In practice, Kurdish officials say the regime failed to implement core obligations, including security guarantees and on-the-ground measures. At the same time, Kurdish forces in Hasakah province in eastern Syria are preparing for what they describe as a “battle to the death.” Reports indicate that Syrian army units have already reached the outskirts of Hasakah city, with tensions at their highest point and large-scale clashes potentially imminent. NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT The collapse of the ceasefire underscores once again the Syrian regime’s lack of credibility and the fragility of any agreement it signs. A major confrontation in eastern Syria could further destabilize the region, strengthen jihadist elements, deepen Turkish and Iranian involvement, and create new security risks with broader regional implications — including for Israel.
