Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, reaches deal with rebels to end 13-year civil war.

Syria's new leadership, under Ahmed al-Sharaa, has announced an agreement with rebel groups to dissolve and integrate them into the country's defense forces. This follows the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, ending a 13-year civil war. The Kurdish-led forces in the northeast were not part of the negotiations. The new authorities aim to bring all weapons under state control. The situation's outcome may depend on the stance of the incoming US President and Turkey's role in the region.
