US EditionSyrian and Israeli officials set to resume US-mediated talks in Paris
Talks aim to revive the 1974 disengagement accord with reciprocal security guarantees and Israeli withdrawal from territories seized after Assad's fall, mediated by the U.S.
- On Monday, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack will mediate senior Syrian and Israeli officials in Paris to resume security talks after nearly two months dormant.
- Talks had stalled because of big gaps between the parties and the resignation of Israel's top negotiator Ron Dermer, but resumed after President Donald Trump requested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet last Monday at Mar-a-Lago.
- Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani will lead Syria's delegation with Hussein Salameh, head of the General Intelligence Directorate, seeking reactivation of the 1974 disengagement agreement and Israeli withdrawal to lines before Dec. 8, 2024.
- Officials say the meetings are exploratory, aimed at assessing whether conditions exist to advance toward a broader security arrangement rather than producing an immediate agreement, and both sides are expected to continue consultations in the coming weeks.
- The sessions follow months of diplomatic activity and mark the first high-level meeting since Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa's Washington visit, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supporting security talks that protect Druze and Christian communities.
