US EditionSyria Confirms Talks with Israel Ongoing, Qatar Pursuing Legal Action Against Israel at ICC
Syria aims to halt over 1,000 Israeli airstrikes and troop incursions since December by negotiating a UN-monitored security pact respecting Syrian airspace and unity.
- On September 17, 2025, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced that discussions with Israel regarding a security agreement are underway and could produce outcomes shortly.
- These discussions come after Israel submitted a detailed proposal several weeks ago aiming to stop its air attacks and ensure the withdrawal of forces, although Israel intends to maintain control over key areas it captured.
- Sharaa described the pact as a necessity that must respect Syria’s airspace, territorial unity, and involve United Nations monitoring, while denying US pressure on Syria and stating peace or normalization deals are not on the table.

- These developments suggest escalating regional tensions alongside diplomatic efforts, with a US-mediated security understanding in progress but no imminent peace agreement, underlining a volatile and complex situation.
