The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), also known as Rojava, is a de facto autonomous region in northeastern Syria. It consists of self-governing sub-regions in the areas of Afrin, Jazira, Euphrates, Raqqa, Tabqa, Manbij, and Deir Ez-Zor. The region gained its de facto autonomy in 2012 in the context of the ongoing Rojava conflict and the wider Syrian civil war, in which its official military force, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), has taken part.

Rojava is and will be supported by the West this region has majority of the oil of Syria do not think the US that on the moment protect those wells military retreat from Rojava this region has more than 10 years a Democratic administration this is stable the only trustworthy and stable region in Syria. A system of popularly elected administrative councils, allowing local communities to exercise autonomous control over their assets, while linking to other communities via a network of confederal councils. Decisions are made by communes in each neighborhood, village, or city. All are welcome to partake in the communal councils, but political participation is not mandated. Anybody saying they are not ... are misinformed! Rojava is open towards other political groups, religions and factions. It is flexible, multicultural, anti-monopolistic and consensus-oriented. Ecology and feminism are central pillars!
The Women's Protection Units or Women's Defense Units is an all-female militia. The YPJ is part of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the armed forces of Rojava, and is closely affiliated with the male-led YPG. While the YPJ is mainly made up of Kurds, it also includes women from other ethnic groups in Northern Syria. These women and men have successfully fought ISIS with the air support of NATO. Israel's new foreign minister has said his country should reach out to Kurds and other regional minorities that are "natural" allies.

“The attacks on the Kurds, as we saw yesterday in Manbij, must stop!” Sa’ar said. “There must be a commitment and actions by the international community to protect the Kurds, who fought bravely against ISIS. We have spoken with the U.S. administration and other countries on this matter.” Sa’ar’s calls for aiding the Kurds were echoed by former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, who posted a message on ��, saying, “Israel must convince the US not to abandon the Kurds.”
