Times Of Israel: Syrian defense minister rejects Kurdish proposal for own military bloc
Syria's new defense minister, Murhaf Abu Qasra, stated that US-backed Kurdish fighters, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), should not maintain their own military bloc within the integrated Syrian armed forces. He criticized the SDF for procrastinating in talks regarding their integration into the Defense Ministry.
Abu Qasra emphasized that the SDF must be incorporated into the Defense Ministry's hierarchy, rejecting their proposal for a separate military bloc. He aims to complete the integration of various anti-Assad factions by March 1, despite facing criticism over the transitional government's military appointments and the inclusion of foreign fighters.

The ban stems from national security concerns regarding the app's Chinese ownership by ByteDance. The Biden administration has opted not to intervene, leaving the decision to the incoming administration.
