Overview

• Syria’s foreign minister Asaad al‑Shaibani met an Israeli delegation in Paris in U.S.-mediated talks focused on easing tensions and non‑interference.
• The agenda addressed monitoring the Sweida ceasefire and reactivating the 1974 Golan disengagement agreement that set a UN-patrolled buffer zone.
• A Syrian source said Israel pressed for a humanitarian corridor into Sweida, where aid access and security for the Druze community remain contested.
• SANA reported “understandings that support stability” and a commitment to continue talks, while Israel offered no immediate confirmation of the meeting.
• Reported participants included Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Syria’s intelligence chief, and U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, following earlier contacts in Paris and Baku after July’s deadly Sweida clashes and Israeli strikes.
