According to Al‑Monitor, the deal is seen as a "crushing victory" for the Kurds, elevating Abdi from a "seasoned war leader" to a legitimate "political heavyweight" as he aids Al‑Sharaa in unifying a nation battered by violence.
Al‑Monitor noted that the deal follows Abdi’s refusal to accede to demands by Al‑Sharaa for the SDF to merge into a new national army on an individual, rather than collective, basis and to expel non‑Syrian fighters. This stance, the report said, represented a red line for both Al‑Sharaa and Turkiye – which effectively holds veto power over the interim government’s dealings with the Kurds.
Both sides also agreed to refrain from hostilities across all Syrian territories – effectively setting aside Ankara’s longstanding demand that the central government disarm and dissolve Kurdish forces if they did not do so voluntarily.
The report further noted that Al‑Sharaa’s outreach to the Kurds – along with a subsequent agreement with the Druze, mediated by Abdi – has reshaped the dialogue, helped salvage his legitimacy, and provided him additional time to unite a nation weakened by over a decade of Western sanctions.
For Abdi, the sustained presence of US forces in the Kurdish region remains crucial – at least until the agreement’s implementation deadline at year‑end.
