In a quiet but significant diplomatic development, Syria and "Israel" have resumed direct and indirect talks with a recent meeting reportedly held in Azerbaijan involving top security officials from both sides discussing regional stability.

The Israeli channel Kan noted that the holding of a meeting between Syrian and Israeli officials in Azerbaijan is not surprising, emphasizing that this encounter is neither the first nor the last of its kind.

The channel explained that direct and indirect talks and dialogue between Syria and "Israel" have previously taken place under US sponsorship.

The channel reported that Azerbaijan recently hosted talks between Israeli officials, including "National Security" Council head Tzachi Hanegbi, and representatives of the Turkish military.

Direct communications with no mediators

Kan also revealed that members of the Israeli Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee were informed about direct communications with Syria, without any mediation. Knesset members were told "Israel" insisted Syria stop attacks on the Druze immediately, calling it a top priority and a condition for continuing security talks.

Meanwhile, Reserve Colonel Jacques Neriah of the Israeli military told Channel 12 on Friday that "discussions are underway with Syria, apparently hovering between a non-aggression understanding and a potential new security agreement."
