Negotiations between Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and SDF leader Mazloum Abdi lasted five hours, focusing on the administration of Hasakah province. Abdi maintained that the SDF should retain control, while al-Sharaa warned of a potential military solution and offered Abdi a deputy defense minister position in exchange for distancing the SDF from the PKK. Al-Sharaa demanded the entry of internal security forces, rejecting Abdi’s request for time to consult, insisting on a prompt decision. Meanwhile, the Syrian army has taken control of al-Shaddadi and is pursuing released Daesh members.
