Hours earlier, a Jordanian official source told Reuters that a ceasefire in southern Syria that would lead to “reconciliation” between the FSA and the Damascus government is near.
Local observers believe that the upcoming hours will be decisive for the future of southern Syria. A reconciliation deal would stabilize southern Syria and secure the border with Jordan and the separation line with Israel.
