The agreement is slated to be signed a day after Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa delivers his first speech at the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">According to the sources, the agreement will be a security arrangement aimed at reducing tensions between Jerusalem and Damascus. However, a comprehensive peace deal between the two countries is not expected &#8220;in the near future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">Furthermore, Sky News Arabia reported, citing its sources, that the US is working to facilitate a meeting next month between President al-Sharaa and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with US President Donald Trump expected to participate. The report noted that the recent appointment of a new Syrian representative to the UN, with negotiation authority, was made &#8220;in this context.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">Sky News Arabia also reported progress in talks held this week in Paris between Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani. However, the main point of contention remains Israel\u2019s desire to maintain an IDF presence at several strategic sites in Syria, including the radar station on the Syrian Hermon and Tel al-Hara in the Quneitra province.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">The reports have not yet been officially confirmed by either Israel or Syria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">Syria\u2019s official news agency <a class=\"\" album=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.israelnationalnews.com\/news\/413546\" target=\"_blank\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reported late Tuesday night<\/a> that al-Shaibani held a meeting in Paris with an Israeli delegation, though it did not mention that Dermer headed the Israeli delegation. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">According to the report, the talks were mediated by the United States and centered on measures to strengthen stability in southern Syria and the wider region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">The discussions reportedly addressed several key issues: de-escalation along the border, adherence to the principle of non-interference in Syria\u2019s internal affairs, regional stability, monitoring the ceasefire in the Druze Mountain area, and the renewal of the 1974 disengagement agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">The Syrian report emphasized that these contacts form part of a wider international diplomatic initiative aimed at safeguarding Syria\u2019s security and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-aae4f51f=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">The report was highly unusual, marking the first time in more than 25 years that an official Syrian media outlet has acknowledged direct contact between the Syrian government and Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saudi-owned newspaper Independent Arabia reported early Friday morning, citing &#8220;senior Syrian sources,&#8221; that Israel and Syria are&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":165947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[23314,372,99,23313,50,23312],"class_list":{"0":"post-165946","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-ahmed-al-sharaa","9":"tag-benjamin-netanyahu","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-israel-syria","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-syria"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115071316410313957","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
