He emphasized that armed opposition forces will not cease hostilities until the Syrian government commits to the UN-led political process and a transition of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at a press conference in Istanbul, al-Bahra reaffirmed the opposition&#8217;s commitment to a negotiated solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are ready to negotiate with the Syrian government starting tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Turkish-backed opposition factions and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly al-Nusra Front, have launched an extensive ground offensive against government forces. The campaign, which began last Wednesday, has resulted in their control over the entirety of Idlib province, large parts of Aleppo, and areas in rural Hama. Syrian government forces have reportedly withdrawn from most of these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Calls for Resolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement coincides with renewed international calls for a political settlement. On Sunday, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom jointly urged a Syrian-led resolution to the conflict in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen echoed these sentiments, urging all Syrian and international stakeholders to engage in urgent and serious political dialogue to avert further bloodshed. He reiterated the importance of adhering to Resolution 2254, which outlines a framework for a political transition, constitutional reform, and free elections under UN supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Escalating Tensions in Northern Syria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent military escalation in northern Syria has further complicated efforts for a peaceful resolution. Opposition factions, emboldened by their advances, have consolidated control over key territories, raising concerns about potential retaliatory actions and an extended conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts warn that the rapid shifts in territorial control and the enduring violence are undermining the fragile peace process, leaving civilians in affected areas vulnerable to displacement and humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Road Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Syrian conflict, now in its 13th year, continues to pose significant challenges for peacebuilding and reconciliation. While al-Bahra\u2019s willingness to engage in talks with Assad signals a potential opening for dialogue, the path to a comprehensive political solution remains fraught with obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Observers note that sustained international pressure and inclusive negotiations will be critical in achieving lasting peace in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Abdulsalam Khoja&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Kardo Roj&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Hadi al-Bahra, head of the Syrian opposition coalition, stated on Monday that they are prepared to negotiate with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as early as tomorrow.
