The agreement came after US envoy Tom Barrack met with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa early Sunday
Syrian state media announced on 18 January an immediate ceasefire between the government and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which includes the handover of territory and natural resources by the SDF.
The agreement comes after Syrian forces loyal to President Ahmad al-Sharaa, the former Al-Qaeda and ISIS commander, took control of the strategic town of Tabqa and Raqqa from the SDF early Sunday.
Reports also suggest that the Syrian government forces have taken control over parts of the M4 highway, cutting off the Kurdish city of Kobani from the remainder of the SDF territory.
According to Rudaw, the agreement involves "significant concessions from Kurds," who had resisted integration into the Syrian state in an effort to maintain control of an autonomous region in northeast Syria and its significant energy resources.
Key points of the ceasefire agreement include:
