Israel and Syria are expected to sign a security agreement on Sept․ 25 under American auspices, Israel National News<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The agreement is slated to be signed a day after Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa delivers his first speech at the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n

As noted, the agreement will be a security arrangement aimed at reducing tensions between Jerusalem and Damascus. However, a comprehensive peace deal between the two countries is not expected “in the near future.”<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Sky News Arabia reported, citing its sources, that the US is working to facilitate a meeting next month between President al-Sharaa and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with US President Donald Trump expected to participate. The report noted that the recent appointment of a new Syrian representative to the UN, with negotiation authority, was made “in this context.”<\/p>\n

Sky News Arabia also reported progress in talks held this week in Paris between Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani. However, the main point of contention remains Israel’s desire to maintain an IDF presence at several strategic sites in Syria, including the radar station on the Syrian Hermon and Tel al-Hara in the Quneitra province.<\/p>\n

The reports have not yet been officially confirmed by either Israel or Syria.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
