Syria Extends Truce with Kurdish Forces for USA Led Detainee Transfer

Syria extended its ceasefire with Kurdish-led forces by 15 days to support a USA operation transferring thousands of Islamic State detainees to Iraq.The agreement follows the Syrian army seizing control of key prisons near Raqqa and the release of over 100 minor detainees as government forces advance into previously autonomous regions.While President Ahmed al-Sharaa recognized Kurdish as a national language, USA lawmakers and Kurdish leaders expressed concern over Turkish influence and the long-term safety of Kurdish allies.
