The Syrian government and Kurdish forces have agreed to extend their ceasefire by one month, according to multiple sources familiar with the negotiations. This extension comes as part of ongoing talks about the future of Kurdish-majority regions in Syria, following recent territorial changes and the deployment of government reinforcements to the northeast. The ceasefire, initially set for four days, was due to expire but will now continue while both sides seek a political solution. The agreement also facilitates the transfer of Islamic State detainees from Syria to Iraq, with the first group, including European nationals, already moved.
