Several reports were published this evening (Monday) that claim that a ceasefire agreement has been reached by the Western powers and rebel groups. The ceasefire, which is set to begin on Saturday, does not include ISIS or the al-Nusra Front.
The agreement that allows the Western attacks against the 2 terror organizations to continue is under harsh criticism from Western experts, who claim that Russia will not differentiate between the rebel groups and the 2 terror organizations.
Despite the criticism and the fear among the rebel groups, the TV station that is identified with them reported that they approved the ceasefire. The report emphasized that the rebel groups agreed to accept the offer, provided that the Western powers fully back the agreement.
“We decided to accept the agreement under the condition that the Western powers guaranty that they will respect it,” said former Syrian prime minister Riad Hijab, who defected to Jordan. Hijab is supported by Saudi Arabia and is recognized as the Syrian opposition coordinator. Hijab added that this is only a temporary humanitarian ceasefire.
