Israeli sources reported that the expected agreement includes preventing Turkey from rebuilding the Syrian army, a clause that Israel considers of particular strategic importance.

The agreement also prohibits the deployment of strategic weapons inside Syrian territory, including missiles and air defense systems, in order to maintain the freedom of movement and aerial superiority of the Israeli Air Force in the region, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

It also reportedly addresses the creation of a humanitarian corridor to Jabal al-Druze in Sweida, amid tensions related to the Druze community and the humanitarian aid provided to it, as well as the disarmament of the Syrian Golan Heights.

The agreement also carries pledges to rebuild Syria with US backing and Arab aid, aiming to restore stability while curbing Iranian influence.

The Golan Heights has remained a flashpoint between the two countries since Israel seized the territory in 1967. Al-Sharaa said the agreement under discussion would be anchored in the 1974 disengagement line separating Israeli and Syrian forces.

Since last December, following the fall of Syria’s former regime, the Israeli army has advanced into Mount Hermon, seizing a security strip up to 15 kilometers wide in parts of southern Syria and taking control of the buffer zone.
