Jordan says US, Russia agree "essential" to preserve southern Syria truce

Jordan said on Monday it was discussing developments in southern Syria with Washington and Moscow and that all three parties agreed on the need to preserve a "de-escalation" zone they brokered last year and which has reduced violence.

 

A senior official who requested anonymity told Reuters the three countries that signed last year's deal to create the zone "saw eye to eye" on the need to preserve it as a key step to "accelerate efforts to reach a political solution" in Syria.

 

The truce -- the first US peacekeeping effort in the war under Donald Trump's presidency -- has reduced violence in a particularly sensitive region that includes Syrian territory bordering Israel.
