Turkey's 120-Hour Pause In Syria Catches Backlash In U.S.

The US and Turkey have reached a deal to pause Turkey's military actions in northeast Syria, allowing Turkey to control a safe zone for returning Syrian refugees. The region, previously controlled by Kurdish forces, is a point of contention as Turkey views them as terrorists, while they have been US allies against ISIS. The pause in military operations, termed Operation Peace Spring, is not officially a ceasefire, leading to political backlash in the US. Concerns about ethnic cleansing and civilian casualties have been raised, with 218 civilians reported killed since the offensive began.
