1/7 Something to watch in the coming days is how HTS and the SDF interact with one another. Will this lead to intense clashes, or will they be able to reach some sort of agreement? 
2/7 The breakdown of the Assad regime's defenses in Aleppo has benefited not only HTS, which is advancing further south, but also the SDF, which is leveraging this momentum to secure territories in and around Aleppo.
3/7 Numerous rumors about clashes are circulating, but the situation appears to be stable for the time being. Turkey may be displeased with the SDF making gains.
4/7 The majority of people in Syria and the West are not in favor of Jolani and HTS governing Syria, yet they are so eager to see Assad removed that they are willing to support anyone who can achieve that goal. They perceive Assad as the greater evil.
5/7 Both HTS and the SDF have a common objective of preventing Assad from regaining control over all of Syria, and they are both pleased to expand their control over additional Syrian territories.
6/7 The actions of Assad's regime and its supporters, including russia and iran, as well as the ongoing and upcoming bombings of civilians in Aleppo, may currently allow HTS and the SDF to avoid confrontation. The next few days will be interesting.
