The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are reportedly studying an openness to Turkey in the event of negotiations with Damascus and potentially joining the "Milli Charter," according to private sources for the Syrian Observatory. This development, if realized, could significantly alter the geopolitical landscape in northern Syria. The SDF has historically been at odds with Turkey, which views the group's primary component, the People's Protection Units (YPG), as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). In separate but potentially related regional activity, Israeli troops were observed firing flares west of Nawa in the Daraa province of southern Syria, coinciding with drone activity, as reported by Qalaat Al Mudiq. The timing and purpose of this Israeli military action remain unclear. The Syrian Observatory's report did not specify a timeline for the SDF's deliberations or the conditions under which they might engage with Turkey or Damascus.
