Rebel factions in Syria are prepared to honor a U.S.-Russian-brokered cease-fire while communicating deep reservations about its terms, according to a leader in the powerful Ahrar al-Sham militia. But that scenario is complicated by the fact that the powerful al-Qaeda-linked faction, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, remains intertwined with several other factions. According to a leader in the ultraconservative Ahrar al-Sham militia, Syria's Islamist factions have no intention of fully splitting with Jabhat Fatah al-Sham. "The Islamist factions and Jabhat Fatah al-Sham will abide by the cease-fire without publicly declaring it. The cease-fire agreement, if honored, will open corridors for the U.N. to reach Syrians in Aleppo with badly needed relief.
