Kurds

Syria’s new government will relocate ISIS families from camps, with Kurdish and US support.

Both Iraq and Syria would benefit from having Turkish troops withdraw. Politics at home in Turkey can also be transformed. 

The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group, which has been locked in bloody conflict with Turkey for more than four decades, decided to disband and end its armed struggle.

Syria's Islamist leaders opposed Kurdish calls for decentralization, while Kurdish parties endorsed a vision for a democratic, decentralized Syria.

Kurdish parties in eastern Syria united to push for a decentralized, democratic Syria. They seek integration with Damascus after years of division and conflict.

"We see this historic step as a long-awaited justice and a positive step towards achieving justice," said President Abdul Latif Rashid.

Turkey is classified as a “brown country” with both democratic and authoritarian features, but democracy, legality, and citizenship rights effectively disappear in southeastern Turkey.

The demand for federal rule has gathered momentum as alarm spread through Syria's minorities over last month's mass killings of Alawites.

With the US battling deepening social and political divisions, Israeli strategic planners must treat this scenario as a genuine possibility and prepare accordingly.

Khazali claims the goal of the ‘David Corridor’ is to “reach the Kurdish lands in Iraq and Syria, considering the ongoing cooperation [between Israel and the Kurds]."
