Tom Barrack Advocates for Ceasefire in Syria

Barrack expressed concern over the recent clashes in Aleppo between the SDF and Syrian army, warning that such violence could jeopardize progress since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. He noted the Syrian government’s commitment to a March 2025 integration agreement with the SDF, aimed at incorporating their forces into national institutions while preserving Kurdish rights. Barrack urged both sides to engage in dialogue and demonstrated readiness from Secretary of State Rubio’s team to facilitate this process. Additionally, he met with Jordan’s Foreign Affairs Minister to discuss violence in Aleppo and Sweida, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution and civilian protection.
