Ahmad Al-Sharaa, Syria’s transitional president, announced that “advanced” talks are underway between Israel and Syria to reach a security agreement.
He emphasized that any decision that benefits Syria and the region “will undoubtedly be made.”
On Sunday, August 25, Al-Sharaa stressed that any potential agreement with Israel would be based on the 1974 ceasefire.
The 1974 agreement between Syria and Israel, mediated by the United Nations after the Yom Kippur War, is known as the “Disengagement of Forces Agreement,” which established ceasefire lines, created a buffer zone under UN peacekeeping supervision, and limited military presence on both sides.
Earlier on August 21, high-ranking Syrian sources announced that Syria and Israel would sign a security agreement on August 26 with US mediation.
As part of continuing international consultations, Tom Barak, the US special envoy, traveled to Israel on August 25 and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
