State news agency SANA reported that Shaibani and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer discussed “de-escalation and non-interference in Syria’s internal affairs”.
Syrian state television reported that Syria’s intelligence chief also attended the meeting, according to an unidentified government source.
A week of violence began on July 13 with clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouin but rapidly escalated, drawing in government forces with Israel also carrying out strikes.
“These talks are taking place under US mediation, as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability in Syria and preserving the unity and integrity of its territory,“ SANA said, adding they resulted in “understandings that support stability in the region”.
As an Islamist-led offensive late last year toppled longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel deployed troops to the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights which has separated Israeli and Syrian forces since the armistice that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Discussions also addressed the humanitarian situation in southern Syria, with both parties agreeing on “the need to intensify assistance for the people of Sweida and the Bedouin,“ it reported.
Paris hosted a similar meeting between Shaibani and Dermer last month, while a diplomatic source previously told AFP that other face-to-face meetings were held in Baku.
US envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack said on X late Tuesday that he met with Israeli Druze spiritual leader Mowafaq Tarif, discussing Sweida “and how to bring together the interests of all parties, de-escalate tensions, and build understanding”. – AFP
