“Syria stands at a critical juncture - peace and dialogue must prevail - and prevail now,” US Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack said. 

Israel's Health Ministry is preparing the transfer of medical equipment and medications to Sweida's hospital following the recent violent Syrian Druze-Bedouin clashes that have left hundreds dead.

The challenge now is whether the two sides can de-escalate. Numerous Bedouin tribes from across Syria mobilized to fight in Sweida.

Residents from the Syrian-Druze city of Sweida described friends and neighbors being shot at close range in their homes or on the streets.

Palestinian leadership called the alleged attack an attempt to displace people in the West Bank.
