US Senator Addresses Kurdish Offensive with Syria’s President al-Sharaa

The Syrian army has rapidly taken control of areas previously held by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), leading to a fragile ceasefire agreement. U.S. Senator Jim Risch expressed concern over the actions of President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s forces, highlighting the potential for increased violence that could benefit groups like ISIS. Despite the ceasefire, reports indicate ongoing skirmishes, and Kurdish leaders urge the U.S. for stronger intervention to protect their interests amid the offensive. Al-Sharaa, a former terrorist, has been accused of releasing ISIS prisoners during this turmoil.
