Syria’s Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Wednesday that the group had not received any plans from the US forces in northern and eastern Syria to withdraw, Reuters reports.
“Of course, ISIS and other malicious forces are waiting for the opportunity of the US withdrawal to reactivate and reach the state of 2014,” the SDF’s spokesperson, Farhad Shami, told Reuters.
The Department of Defense is developing plans to withdraw all US troops from Syria, two US defense officials said on Wednesday, NBC News reports.
The US considers the Kurdish-led forces to be key allies in the fight against ISIS, but neighboring Turkey views them as a threat to its national security.
