Golan dispute delays Syria-Israel talks
The article addresses the deadlock in the peace negotiations between Israel and Syria regarding the Golan Heights, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu focusing on his hardline stance following his escalation of rhetoric at the United Nations. Meanwhile, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad insists that Syria is prepared for peace but demands the complete return of the Golan. There is also an emphasis on partial security arrangements to ensure a gradual Israeli withdrawal. While the parties agree that 90% of security issues have been resolved, Israel remains cautious about making concessions, wishing to retain strategic areas. Syria, on the other hand, is seeking long-term security guarantees, such as disarmament and the establishment of trade exchange corridors. This inflexibility is hindering efforts to reach a comprehensive peace agreement, despite increasing international calls. It is presumed that the U.S. stance and the regional power balance are impeding progress in the negotiations.
