Hassan Mohammad Ali, co-chair of the Relations Office in the Syrian Democratic Council, stated the March 10 agreement with the Syrian government will not fail due to its international status and inclusion in U.S. Congress oversight mechanisms, in comments reported by @vvanwilgenburg on X between 10:16 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. UTC on December 16, 2025. Ali added that committees will strive to implement the agreement's provisions by year's end, but no binding decision sets that as the end date, allowing for additional time, according to the X posts during the one-hour-29-minute reporting window. The official emphasized belief in the agreement's durability despite possible implementation delays, as quoted by @vvanwilgenburg. These statements follow Ali's earlier announcement on December 16 that the Syrian government agreed to the presence of three Syrian Democratic Forces units, though the SDF seeks leadership in the eastern region, as reported by Kurdish Front News.
