Discussions also addressed monitoring the ceasefire in Sweida Governorate and reactivating the 1974 disengagement agreement. The meeting took place under US mediation as part of wider diplomatic initiatives aimed at strengthening security in Syria while preserving its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Earlier this month, on August 12, Shaibani met in Amman with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and US Special Envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack. That meeting centered on enhancing coordination among the three parties to bolster Syria's stability and security. It also concluded with an agreement to form a joint Syrian-Jordanian-American working group tasked with supporting the Syrian government's efforts to maintain the ceasefire in Sweida and pursue a comprehensive resolution to the ongoing crisis.

New details emerge behind arrest of 'Israeli' cyber official accused of child predation
Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a senior official at 'Israel's' National Cyber Directorate, was arrested in Las Vegas after allegedly attempting to solicit a minor for sexual contact, according to local authorities. Police say Alexandrovich believed he was meeting a 15-year-old girl and brought a condom to the rendezvous, which was part of a sting operation targeting online child predators. Authorities reported that Alexandrovich engaged in online conversations with an undercover officer posing as a teenager before arranging the meeting. Police documents obtained by 8NewsNow indicate that the plan included taking the decoy to the Cirque du Soleil shows along the Las Vegas Strip. Alexandrovich, who holds the position of head of the Technological Defense Division at the INCD, told police he believed the individual he was communicating with was 18 years old. 'Alexandrovich stated he felt the girl 'pushed' him to talk about bringing a condom, yet could not remember how many times the girl 'pushed' him,' police documents said. 'Alexandrovich stated he was embarrassed for being arrested.' The US State Department confirmed Alexandrovich's arrest and said he did not claim diplomatic immunity. 'He was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the US government intervened are false,' the department wrote on X. Alexandrovich posted a USD 10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on August 27.

Reports indicate that Alexandrovich returned to 'Israel' following his release. 'Israeli' media noted he is currently on leave from the Cyber Directorate 'by mutual decision,' while Netanyahu's office referred to him only as a 'state employee' who had been questioned by US authorities. Alexandrovich was one of eight men arrested in the operation run by Nevada's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC). All suspects reportedly believed they were meeting minors when they were apprehended. Other arrests included Neal Harrison Creecy, a 46-year-old pastor from Las Vegas, who was accused of attempting to meet a 14-year-old boy. Under Nevada law, luring a minor online for sexual activity carries potential prison sentences ranging from one to 10 years.
