Syria to Sign Multiple Agreements with Israel by End of 2025

Syria will strike several security and military agreements with Israel by the end of the year, a foreign ministry official tells AFP, in what would be a major milestone after the toppling of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad.

“There is progress in the talks with Israel,” says the ministry official, requesting anonymity because he is not allowed to brief the media, adding that several agreements are expected to be signed “by the end of the year.”

“Primarily, these would be security and military agreements,” he says, adding that there will be a focus on “an agreement to halt [Israeli] military operations inside Syria.”

Last night, Sharaa seemed even more optimistic about the timeline, telling reporters in Damascus that the ongoing negotiations may lead to results “in the coming days.”

Syria and Israel have no diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war.
