Syrian-Israeli relations have experienced an unprecedented development, as the two sides held direct meetings for the first time through American mediation in Jordan, as part of efforts aimed at de-escalation and reinforcing stability after recent heightened tensions, including Israeli strikes on Syrian territory and clashes in the south. Historically, relations between Syria and Israel were characterized by hostility and conflict, beginning with the 1948 war, followed by ceasefire agreements after the Nakba, then escalating disputes in subsequent years, especially during the wars of 1967 and 1973. These tensions persisted over issues such as the Golan Heights and the hosting of Palestinian factions. With the changing political landscape and power transitioning from Hafez al-Assad to Bashar al-Assad, relations experienced some calm, but Israel continued conducting strikes on Syrian territory, primarily to suppress military threats and to prevent the transfer of Iranian arms, engaging repeatedly in incursions into Syrian land and attempting to undermine regional stability. The recent meeting aims to reduce tension and open a path toward détente between the two countries, after decades of hostility and armed conflicts.
