Syria Blames Kurds for Ceasefire Violation, Reconciliation Deal in Jeopardy

• Syria's government accused the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of a drone strike that killed seven soldiers, jeopardizing a ceasefire.
• The SDF denied responsibility, claiming the blast occurred during Syrian soldiers' movement of explosives and accused the Syrian army of truce violations.
• A four-day ceasefire was agreed upon for the SDF to integrate into the central state, or face an assault on Hasakah and Qamishli.
• The U.S., a former SDF ally, urged them to accept the government's offer, stating its partnership reasons had expired.
• Turkey's President Erdogan welcomed the ceasefire, hoping for the SDF's full integration into the Syrian state.
