On Tuesday, Syria reached an agreement with Jordan and the United States on a roadmap for the southern province of Suwayda, aimed at restoring stability and advancing reconciliation.

Revealed at a press conference in Damascus, the deal followed talks between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani, Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, and US Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack.

The plan outlines measures for security, accountability, and a wider reconciliation process amid tensions in the province. Al-Shibani said it “serves the interest of all Syrians,” promising justice for those responsible for violence while opening channels for dialogue.
