Syria foreign minister sees Israel security talks resuming despite no trust
Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said Damascus wants a deal to stop Israeli attacks and secure withdrawal from seized Syrian territory.
- On Saturday, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said Syria expects security negotiations with Israel to resume soon, urging Israel to seize a "historic opportunity" for diplomacy as the door remains open.
- Negotiations froze following the Iran war and the recent Abu al-Duhur airbase strike on Tuesday, though Shaibani noted both sides had earlier "agreed on paper to almost everything" regarding security zones.
- "We do not trust Israel currently," Shaibani said, adding that "Israel has tried to maintain its security through brute force and it hasn't succeeded," underscoring the need for tangible progress.
- Washington is pressuring Israel to return to the dialogue table, while Syria insists the priority must be to "stop Israeli aggression even before reaching a security agreement," Shaibani said.
- Damascus remains focused on rebuilding from 14 years of war, though resolving the state of war since 1948 and territorial disputes over the Golan Heights presents significant long-term obstacles.
