A recent development in the Syrian conflict has been the extension of a ceasefire between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed fighters. However, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, has expressed concern that the conflict has not ended yet, despite the removal of President Bashar al-Assad by opposition fighters. Furthermore, Pedersen has called on Israel to cease all settlement activity in the occupied Syrian Golan at the UN security council.

    5. There have been significant hostilities in the last two weeks, before a ceasefire was brokered... A five-day ceasefire has now expired and I am seriously concerned about reports of military escalation. Such an escalation could be catastrophic.
    6. Such attacks place a battered civilian population at further risk and undermine the prospects of an orderly political transition.
    1. We continue to engage with the SDF, with Turkey about a path forward.
    1. Israel is looking to launch as many strikes [as possible] while it still has the freedom to do so.
