Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer presented a detailed security proposal to Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, including a map of proposed security zones extending from Damascus southwest to the Israeli border. The proposal is set to be discussed during a meeting on Wednesday in London, also attended by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, who has been mediating talks between the two nations. The information was reported by Barak Ravid on X. The proposal was shared ahead of the London meeting, indicating a significant development in bilateral security discussions. U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's role in mediating between Israel and Syria underscores the U.S. involvement in facilitating potential security agreements. This development follows a previous announcement on September 16th, 2025, where Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, alongside Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and US Special Envoy Thomas Barrack, revealed a joint roadmap for peace in Suwayda. Syrian Interim President Ahmed Al-Sharaa is also scheduled to address the UN General Assembly margins in New York City on September 16th, 2025, during his first trip to the United States. The event, hosted by the Middle East Institute, will feature a conversation with MEI Senior Fellow Charles Lister, where President Al-Sharaa is expected to discuss Syria's transition and foreign relations.
