A leader in the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), "Abu Omar al-Idlibi," announced that a meeting was held between the SDF, the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), and the Self-Administration, resulting in a decision to integrate the security institutions of the SDF and the Self-Administration into the structure of the Syrian army.

"Al-Idlibi," a commander of the Northern Democratic Brigade affiliated with the SDF, stated on his "X" account, as reported by the "Enab Baladi" news site on Tuesday, February 18, that "the meeting held yesterday between the three parties resulted in a series of decisions that resolve the existing dispute with Damascus.

He added that the meeting resulted in eight points, which are:

• Reactivating state service institutions in northeastern Syria and providing basic services, as well as improving the living standards of local residents.
• The necessity of withdrawing all foreign fighters from the SDF and the northeastern region of Syria, considering this step "important towards enhancing national sovereignty and ensuring stability."
