Syrian President Ahmed Shaarawi has confirmed that important talks are underway between Syria and Israel, in which significant progress has been made.
The talks are focused on a possible security agreement, based on the terms that ended the 1974 war.
Also, the Syrian Foreign Minister met with Israeli officials in Paris last week, with the United States acting as a mediator.
Western diplomats said the meetings represent a new opportunity for reconciliation, although political and security challenges remain on both sides.
