The Trump administration is engaging in preliminary discussions with Israel and Syria regarding a potential security agreement between the two countries, which have historically been adversaries. Israeli officials have indicated that Israel seeks assurances that these talks will eventually lead to normalization of ties. The United States is mediating these efforts and is expected to facilitate a high-level meeting on Thursday involving senior officials from the U.S., Israel, and Syria. The purpose of this meeting is to reach security understandings concerning the situation in southern Syria, aiming to prevent further crises in the region.
