US Envoy Calls for Halt to Fierce Clashes in Aleppo

US Syria envoy Tom Barrack has called for an immediate ceasefire in Aleppo, where fierce clashes are raging between the Syrian army and Kurdish fighting forces. The situation is considered particularly worrying, as there is a fear of regional escalation, with Turkey declaring its readiness to support Syria and Israel considering the protection of the Kurds. Barrack stressed that the protection of civilians must be a priority and expressed the willingness of the US and its allies to contribute to de-escalating tensions. Washington is closely monitoring the developments and seeking an end to hostilities.
