Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reports that the two sides are discussing limited security arrangements. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa opposes a peace agreement at this stage and demands full Israeli withdrawal from areas captured after Assad’s fall.
The London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reports that direct talks are currently underway between Israel and Syria, focusing on security-related issues and a gradual withdrawal of IDF forces from southern Syria.
According to the report, the discussions are being held in Jordan and include the possibility of limited security arrangements aimed at reducing tensions along Israel’s northern border. Senior Syrian officials, including the country’s defense minister, are said to be participating in the talks.
