Israel and Syria are expected to resume direct bilateral talks soon, under American pressure, according to sources familiar with the matter reported by Kan News correspondents Gili Cohen and Roey Kais. The talks would run on a track parallel to the ongoing negotiations with Lebanon.
Kan News reported Wednesday evening that Israel and Syria are expected to resume direct bilateral negotiations soon, driven by American pressure. According to sources familiar with the matter cited by correspondents Gili Cohen and Roey Kais, the talks would operate on a parallel track to the ongoing Israel-Lebanon negotiations.
This potential shift comes amid broader regional diplomatic activity. As The Zioneer previously reported (June 13), a fifth round of Israel-Lebanon border talks was set to open in Washington, and the U.S. has been pressing for tangible progress on that front. A separate channel of direct U.S.-Iran communication has also been reported. The relationship between these tracks and the reported Israel-Syria channel remains unclear. No official confirmation from Jerusalem or Damascus has been issued, and the reported timeline for the talks has not been specified.
