Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed an agreement between the Kurdish-led and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces and Syria's new government, saying all Syrians stood to gain from the deal.

"The full implementation of the agreement reached yesterday in Syria will contribute to the country’s security and stability. The beneficiaries of this will be all our Syrian brothers and sisters," Erdogan said on Tuesday.

"We attach great importance to the territorial integrity of our neighbor Syria, the preservation of its unitary structure, and the strengthening of its unity and stability," he said.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militias will target US ships in the Red Sea if Washington becomes involved in Israeli attacks on Iran, the militants’ military spokesperson said on Saturday.

In May, the US and the Houthis agreed to a ceasefire under which neither side would target the other.
