Jordan and Syria Agree Joint Security Committee After Airstrikes

Jordan and Syria have agreed to form a joint security committee following roughly 24 hours of tension over Jordanian airstrikes targeting southern Syria.

The agreement puts a joint review at the centre of the response to the crisis, which followed strikes on Daraa in Syria’s south.

The committee will examine the details and facts surrounding the recent operations. Its remit also includes improving intelligence-sharing and coordination on the ground between the two countries.

The move shifts the focus from the strikes to bilateral security discussions. No findings from the planned review or further details of the committee’s work were provided.
