The United Nations estimates that more than 87,000 people have been displaced in Syria's Sweida Province since July 12th after days of heavy fighting between Bedouin tribes and Druze-linked militias.
Hundreds have been killed but a fragile truce is in place.
In a televised speech, Syria's Interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa urged the Bedouin tribes to "fully commit" to a ceasefire.
Al-Sharaa has also agreed a ceasefire with Israel, which last week launched airstrikes aimed at protecting the Druze community.
But the domesetic violence that threatens to unravel the country's post-war transition continues.
Scores of tribal fighters from various Syrian provinces have travelled to Sweida to support their Bedouin kin.
Prominent Druze leader Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hijri opposes the current government.
However, he said an agreement brokered by guarantor states contained several measures that can ease tensions.
