The Syrian government has established a seven-member committee, including judges, to investigate the recent sectarian violence in the Sweida province in southern Syria that resulted in over 1,400 deaths. This violence, involving clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin clans, followed a ceasefire declared on July 19 but tensions remain high with fighters still mobilized and ready to resume hostilities. The conflict has caused significant civilian casualties, including at Sweida's National Hospital, which government forces have been accused of targeting. Both Druze and Bedouin fighters have also been implicated in civilian deaths. The International Committee of the Red Cross has highlighted urgent needs for flour for bakeries and medical supplies for hospitals in Sweida, while families continue searching for relatives missing due to the violence. Kurdish leader Saleh Muslim emphasized the importance of uniting Syrians and expressed concerns about the form of the new Syrian state, stating that decisions made without Kurdish participation would not be binding. Protests have erupted in the Druze region, with demonstrators calling for the withdrawal of the Syrian army and requesting aid from Jordan. Meanwhile, Syrian officials have indicated ongoing efforts to ensure stability in the region through partnerships with Washington and support for a nascent state structure, aiming to reduce escalation with international partners and complete reconciliation efforts in Sweida.
