Israel has proposed a new security agreement to Syria, including a 2-kilometer buffer zone within Syrian territory and a no-fly zone southwest of Damascus, according to a report by QalaatAlMudiq on X. This proposal, modeled on an Egyptian agreement, stipulates that Israel would withdraw from all its positions in Syria except for one on Mount Hermon. Israel also insists on maintaining an aerial corridor for bombing Iran. Damascus has not yet responded and is reportedly developing a counter-proposal. This development follows discussions of a previous Israeli security proposal for Syria, which was scheduled for discussion in London with U.S. envoy Tom Barrack mediating. Details of the new proposal were shared on X by QalaatAlMudiq, citing a scoop regarding the Israeli offer. The previous report from September 16th, 2025, mentioned Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer presenting a security proposal to Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, with U.S. envoy Tom Barrack mediating talks in London. That proposal also outlined security zones extending from Damascus southwest to the Israeli border.
