Israeli and Syrian senior executives are scheduled to hold discussions today, September 21st, regarding Syria. The meeting follows months of negotiations between the two nations. The agenda is expected to cover ongoing political and security developments. The discussions are part of broader diplomatic efforts between Israel and Syria, as indicated by recent statements from Syrian Foreign Minister Asad a-Shevani, who is currently visiting Washington. Al-Shevani previously stated that Syria's goal is to "stop Israel’s threat — whatever it takes," in the context of a confirmed transitional government deal between the two countries. This meeting occurs amidst other reported developments, including Syrian Government Forces launching artillery strikes that killed seven civilians near Aleppo on Saturday evening. Additionally, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) has been accused of recruiting Syrian mercenaries to fight against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
