A Syrian delegation, led by Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani and General Intelligence chief Hussein al-Salama, is engaged in a new round of negotiations with Israel in Paris, state media reported Monday.<\/p>\n
According to the state-run SANA news agency, the talks are focused on reactivating the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, specifically to secure an Israeli withdrawal to positions held before December 8, 2024. Officials aim to establish a balanced security framework that upholds full Syrian sovereignty and prevents interference in the country\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n
The 1974 Disengagement Agreement, brokered after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, established ceasefire arrangements and a UN-monitored buffer zone between Syrian and Israeli forces on the Golan Heights.<\/p>\n
In violation of the agreement, Israel reportedly expanded its control over the Golan Heights after the fall of the Bashar al-Assad government in late 2024, taking over the demilitarized buffer zone. Syrian officials have repeatedly emphasized that reviving the accord is essential for stability and preventing escalation along the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
