US EditionUS envoy doubles down on support for Syria’s government and criticizes Israel’s intervention
SYRIA, JUL 21 – US envoy Tom Barrack criticized Israel's intervention as poorly timed and urged all Syrian factions to cease hostilities amid sectarian clashes that have killed nearly 1,000, reports say.
- Last week, Tom Barrack announced the ceasefire, backed by regional partners including Türkiye and Jordan.
- In the southern province of Sweida, militias of the Druze religious minority and local Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes clashed, deepening sectarian tensions.
- Dozens of Israeli airstrikes struck government convoys in Sweida and hit the Syrian Ministry of Defense headquarters in Damascus.
- Tom Barrack said `The United States was not asked, nor did they participate in that decision, nor was it the United States responsibility in matters that Israel feels is for its own self-defense`, while he called Israel’s intervention poorly timed and said it complicated stabilization.
- In the coming weeks, Barrack expressed optimism about negotiations with the SDF, saying there could be a breakthrough in the coming weeks.
