Mazloum Abdi, commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), announced the dissolution of the Kurdish autonomous administration and the full merger of Kurdish forces into Syrian state institutions, according to Israeli media reports.
The Kurdish autonomous administration in northeastern Syria has dissolved itself, with its commander Mazloum Abdi announcing the full integration of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the central government of President Ahmad al-Sharaa. The announcement was reported on Tuesday evening by Israeli news outlet N12.
As The Zioneer reported minutes earlier, the move marks the formal end of the Kurdish autonomous project that emerged during Syria's civil war. Abdi stated that both the civilian administration and the military forces have been fully absorbed into Syrian state institutions.
The dissolution represents a major shift in Syria's post-Assad landscape, effectively ending the Kurdish experiment in self-rule that had controlled northeastern Syria for over a decade. The integration brings the SDF, a key U.S.-backed force in the fight against ISIS, under the authority of the al-Sharaa regime in Damascus.
