According to reports from Israeli media, Russia is mediating between Israel and Syria to achieve a security agreement. These efforts are being conducted discreetly and with the knowledge and consent of the U.S. government.

The al-Akhbar newspaper indicated that Azerbaijan is currently hosting and leading meetings between senior officials from both parties in Baku, the capital. A Syrian source close to Abu Mohammed al-Joulani, the interim president of Syria, noted that discussions about a security agreement have made significant progress in recent weeks, with a potential signing in the near future.

Sky News reported that this recent advancement is tied to extensive efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump. The agreement is expected to include a diplomatic annex and may be signed during a high-level Syrian-Israeli meeting in an upcoming European country.

The Syrian source also mentioned that the signing of this agreement could occur in a meeting between Ahmad al-Shara and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
