US Ambassador Tom Barrack says YPG/SDF's purpose as ‘primary anti-ISIS force on the ground’ has ‘largely expired’ ⤵️

◾️ ‘Damascus is now both willing and positioned to take over security responsibilities, including control of ISIS detention facilities and camps’

◾️ ⁠‘This moment offers a pathway to full integration into a unified Syrian state with citizenship rights, cultural protections, and political participation’

◾️ ‘US has no interest in long-term military presence; it prioritizes defeating ISIS remnants, supporting reconciliation, and advancing national unity without endorsing separatism or federalism’

◾️ ⁠‘Deal integrates SDF fighters into the national military … hand over key infrastructure (oil fields, dams, border crossings), and cede control of ISIS prisons and camps to Damascus’

◾️ ⁠Agreement with Damascus creates ‘unique window for the Kurds’ including ‘participation in governance—far beyond the semi-autonomy the SDF held amid civil war chaos’
