| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] High-ranking delegations from Syria and Israel held talks with US mediation and the participation of Jordan. This was reported on August 23 by the state news agency SANA. "The meeting took place following recent Israeli strikes on Syrian territory and rising tensions in southern Syria," the agency reported, citing a diplomatic source. The parties discussed practical mechanisms for ending Israeli attacks, arrests, and punitive operations, as well as resuming negotiations to reach a security agreement. This could later serve as the basis for a more comprehensive agreement. The Syrian side emphasized the republic's right to rebuild and develop its national army, as well as to enter into alliances and partnerships in accordance with its national interests. Damascus rejected agreements and mechanisms that could limit these rights. On July 10, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, emphasized the need to create security zones on Israel's borders with Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip. At the same time, The Times of Israel reported that Israel could begin withdrawing troops from parts of southern Lebanon in the coming days as part of a US-brokered agreement. |
