Syria expects security talks with Israel to resume soon after negotiations were frozen during the Iran war, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani told Reuters. Shaibani said the sides had earlier “agreed on paper to almost everything,” with the proposed deal including an end to Israeli strikes, an Israeli withdrawal from territory captured after Assad’s fall, and new security zones near the border. He said Syria still does not trust Israel but remains open to diplomacy, calling the moment a “historic opportunity.”
