The article discusses the negotiations between Syria and Israel regarding the issue of calm. Diplomatic sources confirmed that Damascus issued an official statement after a leak about a meeting between high-ranking Israeli and Syrian officials, aiming to portray the meeting as secret and intended to reduce tension following Israel's bombing of Abu al-Zuhur Airport. The report indicates that the talks focused on improving security relations, with Syria continuing to await an Israeli commitment to withdraw from Syrian territories— a condition Syria had previously set. However, Israel is moving towards building trust and engaging in limited security coordination rather than full withdrawal, in order to protect its security interests. Additionally, it is noticeable that the negotiation process reflects a tactical decline by Israel in terms of military escalation, with no clear timetable for withdrawal. Meanwhile, Syria expects the negotiations to continue within an ambiguous framework toward full resolution.
