Syria and Israel Hold U.S.-Mediated Paris Talks on Border De‑Escalation

Syria’s rare public confirmation signals a cautious U.S.-brokered effort to revive Golan security understandings.

Overview

  • Syria’s SANA said Foreign Minister Assad al-Shaibani met an Israeli delegation in Paris on Tuesday to discuss de‑escalation and non‑interference.
  • The agenda included monitoring the ceasefire in the Druze Mountain area of southern Syria and exploring a renewal of the 1974 disengagement accord.
  • Israeli media reported Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer took part, and Channel 12 said U.S. envoy Tom Barrack was also present.
  • The Paris session is the latest in a series of U.S.-mediated contacts following a late‑July meeting in Baku and an earlier Paris round.
  • SANA described resulting understandings that support stability, as tensions persist after Israeli strikes and deadly sectarian clashes in Sweida.
