Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa revealed ongoing indirect talks with Israel, aimed at reducing tensions, despite the UAE's denial of mediation.

History

Historical Context

Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad in 2024, Israel intensified military operations in Syria, targeting Iranian-linked sites.
