A new report from N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig indicates that French President Emmanuel Macron is currently meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Damascus.

The Zioneer previously reported on Macron's arrival in Damascus and his visit to the Umayyad Mosque earlier Tuesday. The meeting with al-Sharaa is a significant diplomatic development, as Western powers gradually reengage with the new Syrian administration. No details about the agenda or outcomes of the meeting have been disclosed.
