United States envoy Thomas Barrack met with Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as Israel reportedly moves closer to a security agreement with Syria. The proposed deal would involve demilitarizing the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, preventing the Syrian military's restoration, restricting weapons that could threaten Israel, and establishing a humanitarian corridor, in exchange for international support to rebuild Syria. Talks have been mediated by the United States, with recent meetings in Paris and Jerusalem, though no final accord has been reached yet. Separately, Barrack urged Israel to comply with a plan to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has seen ongoing hostilities with Israel over the past year.
