The Trump administration is actively working to broker a deal establishing a humanitarian corridor between Israel and the city of Suwayda in southern Syria. This corridor aims to facilitate the delivery of aid to the Druze community residing in Suwayda. U.S. envoy Tom Barrack has engaged in trilateral meetings in Paris with Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani to discuss the proposal. These talks represent rare direct negotiations between Israeli and Syrian officials focused on humanitarian access. Additional meetings are anticipated in Paris to further discuss and potentially finalize the corridor agreement. The initiative has been reported by multiple sources including Axios, Haaretz, and The New Arab, with no official response yet from the Syrian government.
