New Border Security Deal Between Israel and Syria Appears Close

What Happened?

Syria’s President Ahmed al-Shara announced yesterday that a new border security agreement with Israel may be reached in the next few days. Mr. al-Shara addressed reporters from Damascus on Wednesday, saying that Syria is tired of conflict after more than a decade of civil war and was working to ensure peace with its neighbors.

Syrian and Israeli officials have been holding a series of talks during the past several weeks, and border security was a primary topic. Israeli officials have not yet responded to Mr. al-Shara’s comments, nor have any specifics of the potential deal been made public.

Why it Matters

For much of the past decade, Israel and Syria have considered each other to be enemies, and there have been several rounds of hostilities between them. Since the fall of the Assad regime Israel has launched dozens, and possibly hundreds, of airstrikes against targets in Syria. Syria has not retaliated for those strikes mainly because it lacks the capacity to do so.

Mode Mobile.

Instead of Big Tech hoarding the value, Mode shares it with users by aiming to turn 7 billion smartphones into “EarnPhones.”

● They’ve attracted 55,000+ investors.
● They’ve raised over $59 million
● They’ve reserved the stock ticker $MODE, paving the way for a potential IPO.

If FAANG was yesterday’s story… and MANGO is today’s headline…

Then Mode Mobile is tomorrow’s opportunity.

As to what was being discussed between the two neighbors, Syria’s President said he was looking for a deal similar to a 1974 agreement between Israel and Syria that created a demilitarized zone between the two countries following the 1973 Yom Kippur War. If such an agreement were reached, it could bring a degree of stability and security to the Israeli-Syrian border, a place that has seen a good deal of violence in the past several years.

While Israeli officials have not commented directly on the recent talks with Syria, they have said Israel intends to retain control of the areas it seized after the fall of the Assad regime. Return of the Golan Heights, which Israel captured in 1967 during the Six Day War, is not part of the current discussion, according to Mr. Al-Shara. 

Mr. al-Shara’s claim that Syrians are war-weary likely contains some truth, since the country has been racked with civil war for the better part of a decade. Millions of Syrians fled to Turkey and Europe during that time, creating problems for host countries because the sheer number of refugees often overwhelmed available support services. Thus far, those who left Syria have not expressed a desire to return.

For Israel, a more secure and stable border with Syria would be beneficial since the Israeli military is focused on the war in Gaza and defeating the remnants of Hamas. 

How it Affects You

The efforts by Syria’s current regime to improve border security and relations with Israel echo the moves by other Arab nations to establish normal relations with Israel. Though Syria’s President said normalized relations with Israel was not one of his current objectives, the effort to secure a border deal could still be a step in that direction.
