The Trump administration is pressuring both Syria and Israel to resume negotiations on a bilateral security agreement, according to reports. The US is pushing Israel to make compromises to enable progress, while Syria demands an Israeli withdrawal from the south and a return to the 1974 international border lines.
A new single-source report published overnight indicates the Trump administration is actively pressing both Damascus and Jerusalem to resume direct talks on a security agreement. The US reportedly seeks Israeli concessions to unlock progress, while the Syrian side conditions an agreement on full Israeli withdrawal from southern Syria and a return to the 1974 disengagement borders — the line of separation established after the Yom Kippur War.
The report follows The Zioneer's earlier bulletin (published Wed 22:36) stating that Israel and Syria were expected to resume direct talks under American pressure, on a track parallel to the Lebanon negotiations. The current message adds specific terms: US pressure on Israel for compromise, and Syria's explicit preconditions. The channel reporting this is a single curated source; no additional corroboration is yet available. The timing of the talks themselves, and whether preliminary contacts have already begun, remains unclear.
