Israel–Syria Security Talks Advance Toward Possible Agreement, Syrian Source Says

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief

(Worthy News) – Talks between Israel and Syria over a potential security agreement have advanced significantly in recent weeks and could be finalized soon, according to an exclusive report by i24NEWS citing a Syrian source close to Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa.

The Syrian source told i24NEWS that the recent breakthrough is largely attributed to intensive diplomatic efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has reportedly played a key role in pushing both sides toward an agreement. According to the source, the security deal could include a diplomatic annex and may be signed during a high-level Israeli-Syrian meeting in a European country in the near future.

The source did not rule out the possibility that the agreement could be signed directly at a face-to-face meeting between Al-Sharaa and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a development that would mark a dramatic shift in decades of hostility between the two countries.

Last month, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani publicly stated that Damascus expects to reach a security agreement with Israel by the end of the year. He said the framework would be based on the 1974 armistice agreement, with minor modifications and without the establishment of buffer zones.

Despite the reported progress, major obstacles remain. Israeli officials have rejected Syria’s demand for a full Israeli withdrawal from all areas captured by the Israel Defense Forces following the collapse of the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Israeli sources told i24NEWS that while Israel may consider withdrawing from some of the nine positions currently held inside Syrian territory, it would only do so as part of a comprehensive peace agreement—not merely a limited security arrangement.

The developing talks come amid broader regional realignments and renewed U.S. engagement in Middle East diplomacy, raising the possibility of a historic shift in Israel–Syria relations if negotiations continue to advance.
