Syria’s foreign minister met with an Israeli delegation in Paris for talks focused on de-escalation and non-interference in Syria’s internal affairs, Syria’s state news agency reported on Tuesday.
The talks are being held under US mediation, according to SANA.
The discussions also touched on the developments in Syria’s Sweida and the ceasefire.
Also in Paris, the US envoy Tom Barrack met Israeli Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Syria’s Sweida, where recent armed clashes left hundreds dead and heightened concerns over instability in the south.
“Today I had a warm and informative meeting with Israeli Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif and his team,” Barrack said in a post on X. “We discussed the situation in Sweida and how to bring together the interests of all parties, de-escalate tensions, and build understanding.”
Sweida, a majority-Druze region in southern Syria, has seen rare but deadly outbreaks of violence in recent months amid deepening frustration over economic collapse, corruption, and local clashes with armed groups.
