Reuters reported that the Syrian-Israeli meeting did not result in any final agreements.

A meeting took place between delegations from Syria and Israel in Paris mediated by the United States, discussing the latest security developments and efforts to contain the escalation in southern Syria as mentioned by the agency.

The French capital, Paris, witnessed the first high-level meeting between officials from Syria and Israel in over a quarter of a century, mediated by the U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, Thomas Barrack.

According to the report, the meeting was attended by the Minister of Strategic Planning in the Israeli occupation government, Ron Dermer, along with the Foreign Minister of the Syrian transitional government, Asaad Al-Shaibani. The session lasted for about four hours, during which the two sides discussed ways to de-escalate tensions, especially in southern Syria.

Media outlets circulated the following points as final outcomes:

1- Transfer the Suwayda file to the Americans, with Washington committing to follow up on the implementation of the agreement's provisions.

2- Withdrawal of all tribal forces and Syrian public security forces beyond the Druze villages.

3- Druze factions will sweep all villages to ensure they are cleared of tribal forces and the Damascus government.

4- Formation of local councils from the people of Suwayda to provide services.

5- Establishment of a committee to document violations in Suwayda and submit reports to the American side.

6- Disarmament of Quneitra and Daraa and the formation of local security committees from the residents of those areas on the condition that they do not possess heavy weapons.
