US special envoy to Syria Tom Barrack arrived in Tel Aviv on December 15, 2025, to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and define red lines regarding Israel's activities in southern Syria, i24 News reported over the past hour via the طيف للأخبار Telegram channel. Barrack will also meet other Israeli officials to discuss a range of regional issues, with particular focus on the situation in Syria, according to the i24 News report published during the one-hour reporting window ending at 12:17 p.m. UTC. The US administration considers Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa an ally who seeks to stabilize the Syrian state and advance its progress. Washington aims to avoid steps that could undermine al-Sharaa's rule, the report stated. This development follows the overthrow of former President Bashar al-Assad a year ago, as previously reported by The Guardian.
