Syrian Foreign Minister anticipates resumption of security talks with Israel

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Shibani cautioned that peace and security negotiations with Israel are expected to resume soon, after having been suspended since the outbreak of the Iranian-Israeli war. Damascus calls for seizing a diplomatic opportunity to resolve the conflict. He affirmed that Syria is aiming for an agreement that ensures Israel’s withdrawal from Syrian territories, with a draft deal including the establishment of security zones near the border, such as a buffer zone under UN supervision. He also warned Israel not to trust it if it continues to evade completing the agreement, which is expected to include a halt to hostilities and a withdrawal from the Golan Heights. Tensions are escalating as Israel continues to target Syrian sites, amid American efforts to initiate mechanisms to de-escalate the situation. However, relations remain tense, with Damascus emphasizing that its current focus is on stopping attacks and rebuilding the country.
