Al-Suwayda's future after QSD issue
The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, has announced the resolution of his forces' file and their self-administration in northeastern Syria, confirming the integration of all military and civilian formations affiliated with them into the Syrian state institutions after years of control over large areas with U.S. support. Meanwhile, attention is turning to the Suwayda Governorate, which remains one of the most complex issues facing Damascus, due to the presence of armed groups outside government control and the crisis's links to Israeli interference, especially with some factions there demanding full independence. The difficulty of resolving the situation in Suwayda is intensified by Israeli intervention, which seeks to protect the Druze and ties their fate to Tel Aviv’s stance, along with the bloody events of July 2025 that resulted in the deaths of over 1,700 people and created a complex situation requiring multi-party negotiations with international guarantees. The main options for the province are comprehensive settlement, freezing the situation, or escalation that risks a return to military conflict.
