Syrian government officials have expressed optimism ahead of renewed talks with Israeli representatives in Paris, coordinated by the United States, aiming to advance normalization between the two countries. The Syrian delegation, led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Head of General Intelligence, views the meeting as a positive step, contingent on serious engagement from the Israeli side. Security measures have been heightened in southern Syria to prevent any escalation, with orders given to local police to maintain stability. Key topics for discussion include the reactivation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, Israeli military presence in the region, and the issue of support for the Druze community's spiritual leader.
