Israel and Syria have suspended significant negotiations regarding disputed territories following escalating violence in As Suwaida, according to reports from the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation. The talks, which had aimed to address territorial claims, came to a halt as hostilities intensified in the region.
Sources indicate that Israel was prepared to withdraw from recently captured territories in southern Syria, including Mt. Hermon, contingent upon Syria relinquishing its claims over the Golan Heights. This negotiation marked a potential shift in the long-standing territorial disputes between the two nations.
The situation in As Suwaida has been increasingly volatile, with clashes reported this week. This escalation has drawn international attention, as it could further complicate the already fraught dynamics in the region. As previously reported, similar conflicts have historically hindered diplomatic efforts.
The cessation of these talks raises concerns about the future of peace efforts in the area. With tensions running high, the international community is closely monitoring developments. For more on the regional implications, see our earlier coverage on recent developments in southern Damascus.
