Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaybani announced on Tuesday a plan backed by Jordan and the United States to “restore calm” in the province of As-Suwayda, where most Druze lived in July, AFP reports. 

"The Syrian government has developed a clear roadmap for action... that upholds justice and builds trust,“ al-Shaibani said at a press conference, adding that the plan includes ”holding accountable“ those who attacked civilians, ”paying compensation to victims,“ and ”launching a process of internal reconciliation."

According to Shaybani, the implementation of the plan will be accompanied by an investigation into the violence by the United Nations.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who attended the event alongside US Ambassador Tom Barrak, said that a “joint Syrian-Jordanian-American mechanism” would ensure the plan's implementation. Barrack said the steps taken by the Syrian government on Tuesday were “historic.”

According to Barak, Washington is trying to cooperate with neighboring countries to weave “these threads of assistance, mutual understanding, and cooperation into a new tapestry, and I think today is an important milestone in this for all three of us."

Earlier that day, Syrian authorities announced the creation of a new position of head of internal security for the city of As-Suwayda, appointing a representative of the Druze community to the post.
