Analysis: Who wins and loses from Syrian ceasefire deal? – Jordan played a key role in deal that concerns Israel and shows Washington is playing a new role in southern Syria. | Jerusalem Post
A ceasefire went into effect on Sunday in southern Syria along the border with Israel and Jordan. It covers the provinces of Deraa, Quneitra and Suweida. US National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster provided the usual boilerplate reasons behind US support for it. The United States is committed to “helping to end the conflict in Syria.” This agreement would be an “important step toward common goals.” The deal is unique in that it was agreed by the US, Jordan and Russia and came amidst G20 talks in Hamburg. Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister, described the ceasefire as relating to the “de-escalation zones” that had been agreed to in Astana in May.
