Overview

• Israel has presented Damascus with a detailed proposal mapping security zones from southwest of the capital to the Israeli border, including broad demilitarized and no‑fly areas.
• The plan would split the area into three sectors, push the buffer strip two kilometers into Syrian territory, and bar Syrian military units and heavy weapons near the frontier while allowing police and internal security forces.
• Israel proposes phased withdrawals from recently seized Syrian areas but insists on retaining a strategic outpost on Mt. Hermon and preserving an aerial corridor over Syria toward Iran, according to reports.
• Syria is preparing a counterproposal, with a London meeting set to bring together Israeli minister Ron Dermer, Syrian foreign minister Asaad al‑Shaibani, and U.S. mediator Tom Barrack.
• Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa said results could come "in the coming days" and called for UN monitoring that respects Syria’s airspace and territorial integrity, while Barrack cautioned the sides are not close to a deal.
