A formal security agreement between Israel and Syria is expected to be signed on September 25 in Washington, with United States President Donald Trump present. This was reported by Independent Arabia on Thursday. According to the publication, the deal will be limited strictly to security matters and will not represent a full peace treaty between the two countries. The aim is to ease tensions while avoiding broader political disputes.
Reports indicate that Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa will deliver a speech in New York on September 24 during the United Nations General Assembly, setting the stage for the deal. The following day, representatives from both countries will attend the signing ceremony in Washington.
The agreement comes after weeks of quiet talks in Paris, mediated by the United States. Syrian Foreign Minister Asad al Shibani met with Israeli delegates there, and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer was also present. Sources told the newspaper that the discussions focused on stabilizing southern Syria, reducing escalation, and reaffirming commitments to existing ceasefires, particularly in the province of Sweida.
Syrian state media later confirmed that meetings took place with Israeli representatives earlier in the week, though it did not mention Dermer. The reports said the talks addressed non interference in Syria’s internal affairs, maintaining stability in the border region, and updating security mechanisms dating back to the 1974 disengagement agreement, which established a United Nations monitored buffer zone on the Golan Heights.
President al-Sharaa has recently emphasized the importance of unity in Syria after years of war, rejecting any division of the country. In a televised address, he stressed that the struggle for national consolidation should not be pursued through bloodshed or military force. Instead, he called for practical understandings to avoid further conflict, while also accusing Israel of interfering in southern Syria.
