Washington Announces Preliminary Talks on Security Deal Between Israel and Syria

The U.S. has initiated “preliminary negotiations” aimed at reaching a potential security agreement between Israel and Syria, according to a report by *Axios* citing American and Israeli officials. The talks are reportedly being conducted with strong backing from U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose teams are said to be working in full coordination.

A senior U.S. official described the process as “highly delicate,” likening it to “peeling an onion”—a gradual and sensitive diplomatic endeavor. So far, the discussions have been limited to lower-level representatives of Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara, and there are no plans yet for a summit involving the countries’ top leaders.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar reiterated in a Monday press conference that Israel is interested in establishing formal diplomatic relations with both Syria and Lebanon. However, he emphasized that Israel will never negotiate over the future of the Golan Heights as part of any peace agreement.

In response, the Syrian presidency issued a statement affirming that President al-Shara is working through indirect negotiations and international mediators to halt Israel’s ongoing attacks in the southwestern Quneitra province. The statement also noted al-Shara’s meetings with tribal leaders and local dignitaries in both Quneitra and the Golan region.

Tensions between the two countries have remained high since the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024. Since then, Israel has carried out dozens of air, sea, and ground strikes on former Syrian army positions and has deployed troops across the buffer zone and in strategic locations in the occupied Golan Heights, Mount Hermon (Jabal al-Sheikh), and other parts of southern Syria.
