Investing.com -- Israel and Syria have recently been in direct contact, with face-to-face meetings aimed at reducing tensions and preventing conflict in the border region, according to a Reuters report on Tuesday. These talks follow back-channel discussions via intermediaries, which began after Islamist rebels Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ousted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in December, the report added.
The discussions on the Syrian side have been led by Ahmad al-Dalati, a senior security official appointed as governor of Quneitra province, which borders the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, after Assad’s downfall. Dalati was also assigned responsibility for security in the southern province of Sweida, home to Syria’s Druze minority, earlier this week.
The identity of the Israeli participants could not be confirmed, but they were reported to be security officials. Multiple rounds of in-person meetings have reportedly taken place in the border region, including in areas under Israeli control.
