The Israeli website “Axios” revealed on Tuesday that a meeting is scheduled for Thursday between officials from the United States, Israel, and Syria, in an effort to reach security understandings regarding the situation in southern Syria.

According to the site, “This will be the first meeting between the three parties since the crisis erupted last week in the city of Sweida in southern Syria, followed by Israeli airstrikes on Damascus.

Earlier sources reported the resumption of security communication between the Syrian administration and Israel, with U.S. and Turkish mediation. They also noted that Turkey and Syria are discussing issues related to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the Druze and Alawite communities, and understandings with Israel—pointing out that “an Israeli delegation is heading to Azerbaijan to finalize the arrangements, and the Sweida issue is on its way to being resolved.

Israel has not pledged to halt its attacks on Syria and is demanding a demilitarized zone and permanent presence in buffer areas along the 1974 line.

The buffer zone stretches approximately 80 kilometers in length, with a width ranging from 500 meters to 10 kilometers, covering an area of up to 235 square kilometers. It lies along the ceasefire line separating the occupied Golan Heights from the rest of Syria.
