Syria and Israel are holding discreet talks in Paris in a bid to reduce rising tensions in southern Syria. According to diplomatic sources in Europe, representatives from both sides met earlier this week to explore possible de-escalation measures.
The meeting comes at a time of growing instability across the southern provinces, where clashes involving Druze and tribal forces have raised fears of renewed violence near the disengagement line. France is believed to have facilitated the talks, although neither Damascus nor Tel Aviv has offered any public confirmation. The discussions reportedly focused on practical ways of preventing further military confrontations and maintaining existing security arrangements in the Golan Heights area, which has remained a longstanding flashpoint since Israel captured the territory during the 1967 war.
Analysts caution that the issues at stake are deeply entrenched and unlikely to be resolved quickly, but the fact that direct contacts have taken place is viewed by some observers as a notable shift in regional dynamics. It comes as Washington and other international actors continue to emphasise the need for stability in Syria amid the wider Middle East crisis and the ongoing reshuffling of alliances following the fall of the Assad government.
