Report: Syrian leader al-Sharaa met with Israeli national security advisor

SYRIA, JUL 14 – Syrian and Israeli officials held rare security talks addressing Iranian influence and regional threats amid Syria's political transition, with indirect negotiations facilitated by Azerbaijan and the UAE.

  • Officials from Syria and Israel are anticipated to hold a meeting in Baku on July 12, coinciding with Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa's trip to Azerbaijan.
  • This meeting follows Bashar al-Assad's overthrow in December and Israel's subsequent air strikes and troop deployments in Syria's UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights.
  • The discussions will center on Israel's ongoing military activities in Syria and will include indirect talks aimed at restoring the 1974 arrangement that established the separation zone between the two sides.
  • Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar expressed Israel’s interest in establishing a peace and normalization agreement with Syria, while US special envoy Tom Barrack acknowledged that discussions between the two countries have commenced.
  • The emerging agreement likely involves security arrangements without embassy openings or territorial changes, suggesting gradual steps to reduce conflict and maintain quiet along the border.
