Security arrangement with Syria expected by the end of the year: Israeli report - Region
Israeli TV channel N12 reported Monday that talks were underway between Israel and Syria to reach an agreement, citing anonymous sources from both sides. According to those sources, relations are expected to develop gradually, with initial steps potentially beginning by the end of the year. N12 reported that Syria is considering entering into a formal arrangement with Israel. Syrian sources told the channel: 'The first step emerging is the signing of a security and military agreement that includes a commitment to honour the 1974 separation-of-forces agreement between Israel and Syria. Talks on the future of the Golan Heights would follow, with the Syrian side showing some willingness to be flexible.' The Israeli-occupied Golan Heights has long been a point of contention between the two countries, which remain technically at war. An Israeli official stated that the strategic plateau — seized by Israel in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognised by the United Nations (UN) — 'will remain part of the State of Israel' under any peace deal. Following Bashar Al-Assad's ousting in December, Israel moved troops into the UN-patrolled demilitarised zone in the Golan and has since launched hundreds of airstrikes on Syrian military targets. In return, the Syrian source said, 'Israel will be required to withdraw from all the areas it occupied after the fall of Assad and stop the attacks on Syrian territory. In addition, the unity of Syria must be recognised, the affairs of the Druze, the Alawites, and the Kurds must not be interfered with, and the rule of the Syrian president Ahmed Al-Sharaa, who, according to his people, needs time to dismantle the power and influence of the armed Islamic groups, must not be threatened.' N12 cited an Israeli source that said US President Donald Trump is pressuring both sides to resolve disputes over the Golan Heights. However, he added, 'There is currently no serious discussion about the Golan. It will remain in an interim state — a demilitarised zone — without a final settlement.' He continued: 'The Golan issue will remain up in the air for some time to come, but peace between the two sides is possible in the future - economic, political relations, free movement, and everything that is needed. Slowly, everything will progress. It is possible that by the end of the year, something will happen; there will be a beginning to this matter.' Exiled Syrian commentator Rasan Ibrahim told N12 that 'direct talks between Israel and Syria have been taking place for several months, at various levels - some security, some military, and also political. They have reached an advanced stage, especially because Trump is now putting pressure on Israel to change its policy on this issue, especially after he met with Ahmed Al-Sharaa and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.' Trump's envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, told Turkish news agency Anadolu on Sunday: 'Yes, my hope is leaning in that direction — they have to reach an agreement at some point,' according to N12. He noted that President Al-Sharaa has been in office for six months, while Israel had long viewed the previous administration as a declared enemy. 'Al-Sharaa has made it clear he doesn't hate Israel, holds no religious grudge, and is seeking peace within secure borders,' Barrack said. 'I know Israel wants the same. I think we'll begin to see behind-the-scenes dialogue start with simpler issues like border security, and gradually expand into a broader effort to end the conflict. The key question will be: how can we ensure stability along the border?' Meanwhile, Lebanon's LBCI TV reported Sunday, citing sources familiar with Syrian affairs, that any normalisation between Israel and Syria would hinge on several conditions outlined by the Al-Sharaa regime. According to the report, Syria demands Israeli recognition of the new government, a complete withdrawal from territory occupied after Assad's fall, and an end to military attacks. The Syrian side also wants a security mechanism for southern Syria — particularly areas near the Golan and Jordanian border — to regulate the military presence there. In addition, Syria is seeking an American guarantee for the deal, US support for the new government, a lifting of sanctions, foreign investment, and international assistance with reconstruction. In return, Syria would recognise Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, LBCI reported. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
