🇸🇾🇮🇱 Syria is opening the door to diplomacy with Israel, but trust is running out.
Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani says Damascus is ready to resume security talks, but only if Israel stops its attacks and respects Syrian sovereignty.
The bigger issue?
Israel’s military presence in Syrian territory and the future of the Golan Heights.
Damascus says a security deal was already close to completion, including buffer zones and restrictions on military deployments.
But Syria says Israel showed little willingness to implement it.
Now Washington is pushing for talks to restart.
Syria says it wants peace.
But first, it wants the bombing to stop.
