Israel Confirms ‘Direct Normalization Talks’ With Syria

The revelation comes as Hanegbi says Syria and Lebanon are candidates for inclusion in the Abraham Accords, with Tel Aviv deepening contacts with Damascus

National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi confirmed on 24 June that Israel is engaged in direct, daily communication with Syria’s interim authorities, with the aim of exploring normalization.

Speaking to Israel Hayom, Hanegbi said he personally leads the talks “at all levels” with political officials in Damascus.

His remarks, first made during a classified Knesset session on 23 June, mark the most explicit Israeli admission to date of negotiations with the transitional Syrian government.

Hanegbi said Syria and Lebanon are being considered for future inclusion in the so-called Abraham Accords, and that any Israeli withdrawal from occupied buffer zones would be subject to final arrangements. He clarified, however, that Tel Aviv “will not withdraw from the Syrian Hermon.”

The comments follow a series of indirect contacts and reports of “face-to-face” meetings between Syrian and Israeli officials, aimed at preventing confrontation and formalizing ties under the leadership of Syrian de facto President Ahmad al-Sharaa – formerly known as Al-Qaeda commander Abu Mohammad al-Julani.
