Analysis of Syrian-Israeli negotiations, based on "From Escalation to the Negotiation Table.. Will the Security Agreement Between Syria and Israel Return?" | Syria TV.
OPEN SOURCEThe recent resumption of Syrian-Israeli negotiations marks a significant development in the context of escalating military tensions, particularly following Israeli airstrikes in Syria. High-level discussions held in Amman, with U.S. mediation, aimed to establish mechanisms to halt aggressions and revive security agreements that have been dormant for some time.
During these talks, the Syrian delegation underscored the importance of sovereignty, insisting on Israel's withdrawal to the lines that existed prior to December 2024. Additionally, there was a push to reactivate the disengagement agreement from 1974, which has been a cornerstone of past peace efforts.
