Historic Breakthrough? Reports Claim Israel and Syria Set to Sign Security Agreement Under US Mediation

For the first time in over 25 years, Syrian state media admits direct talks with Israel — amid reports of a US-brokered security pact to be signed in September.

A stunning diplomatic development is emerging in the Middle East: Israel and Syria may be on the brink of signing a US-brokered security agreement, according to reports in Saudi-owned Independent Arabia and Sky News Arabia.

The deal is reportedly set for September 25, just one day after Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa delivers his first-ever address at the UN General Assembly in New York. While the agreement would not constitute a full peace treaty, it would establish a framework for reducing tensions and stabilizing borders between Jerusalem and Damascus.

Adding intrigue, Sky News Arabia claimed Washington is working to arrange a high-profile trilateral meeting next month between al-Sharaa, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US President Donald Trump. The recent appointment of a new Syrian envoy to the UN with authority to negotiate is said to be tied directly to this effort.

Behind the scenes, significant diplomatic activity is unfolding:

  • Paris Talks: Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer reportedly met this week with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani, with US mediation.
  • Key Disputes: Israel is pressing to maintain an IDF presence at strategic Syrian sites, including the Hermon radar station and Tel al-Hara in Quneitra.
  • Stability Measures: Negotiations reportedly focused on border de-escalation, non-interference in Syria’s internal affairs, regional stability, ceasefire monitoring in the Druze Mountain, and a renewal of the 1974 disengagement agreement.

What makes this moment extraordinary is that Syria’s state news agency itself confirmed a meeting in Paris with an Israeli delegation — the first such acknowledgement in more than a quarter of a century.

If confirmed, the September signing could mark the most significant shift in Israeli-Syrian relations since the 1990s, with Washington positioned as the central broker.
