What are the items at the alleged Syrian-Israeli new security agreement brokered by the United States?
Israel and Syria are close to signing a new security agreement brokered by the United States and sponsored by the Gulf states, a move that until recently seemed unimaginable.
The agreement aims to stabilize Syria after years of civil war, reduce threats on its northern border, and distance Damascus from the Iranian-led Shiite axis.
It noted that for Israel, this move represents a significant security opportunity, despite the strategic risks that still loom over it.
The agreement includes:
Preventing Türkiye from rebuilding the Syrian army, an item that Israel considers of particular strategic importance.
The agreement also prohibits the deployment of strategic weapons within Syrian territory, including missiles and air defense systems, to maintain freedom of movement and air superiority for the Israeli Air Force in the region.
Among the sensitive issues addressed in the agreement were “the establishment of a humanitarian corridor to Jabal al Druze in Sweida, given the tensions surrounding the Druze community and the humanitarian aid provided to them and the demilitarization of the Syrian Golan Heights from Damascus to Sweida, a step aimed at preventing terrorist threats from the border region with Israel.
The agreement also includes promises to rebuild Syria with American support and aid from Gulf states, in an attempt to restore the country to stability while reducing Iranian influence in the region.
