We announce our full readiness to take over the Al-Hol camp and the ISIS prisons in the entire region, and we stress that our priority is to combat the terrorist organization ISIS.

We reject the exploitation of the prisoners' file as hostages or political bargaining chips by the SDF leadership to spread chaos and destabilize the situation.

The deal integrates SDF fighters into the national military (as individuals, which remains among the most contentious issues), hand over key infrastructure (oil fields, dams, border crossings), and cede control of ISIS prisons and camps to Damascus

The original purpose of the SDF as the primary anti-ISIS force on the ground has largely expired, as Damascus is now both willing and positioned to take over security responsibilities, including control of ISIS detention facilities and camps.

"I did a great job. You know what I did? I stopped a prison break. Oh, we did a good job with Syria. They had a prison break. European prisoners were breaking and I got it stopped. That was yesterday. European terrorists were in prison. They had a prison break.

Working with the government of Syria and the new leader of Syria, they captured all the prisoners, put them back to jail, and these were the worst terrorists in the world, all from Europe."

➡️ We take this threat very seriously regarding ISIS detention facilities and camps.

➡️ We have regained control over most of them and will continue working with the US and allies to fight terrorism effectively.
