3 Demands to Tel Aviv: Turkish-Israeli Talks on Syria
إسرائيل وسوريا

Israeli public broadcaster reported today, Thursday, that Israel and Turkey will resume their talks in Baku, with the support of the Azerbaijani government, during which Tel Aviv will present three main demands to Ankara.

According to the report, Israel will submit a series of key demands during the meeting, including ensuring that no military force threatens its security near the Syrian border, confirming that Syria is free of strategic weapons and does not pose a direct threat to Israel.

These talks are being held for the third time today in Baku, mediated by Azerbaijan, which maintains good relations with Tel Aviv, aiming to de-escalate tensions in the region.

In a related context, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad announced in Paris yesterday that Syria is engaged in indirect negotiations with Israel to reduce escalation, while Israel conducted several airstrikes on sites in Syria last week.

Last Thursday, Israel bombed a site near the presidential palace in Damascus, and in the early hours of Saturday, carried out more than 20 strikes on warehouses and military depots in several areas across Syria. The official description of these strikes was that they were "the most violent since the beginning of the year," according to Agence France-Presse.

In response to the escalation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with Defense Minister Yair Lapid, issued a strongly worded statement affirming that this message was directed at the Syrian regime. It stated that Israel would not allow the deployment of Syrian forces south of Damascus or threaten the Druze community in any way, according to their words.
