Talking with Syria

Israel and Syria are reportedly holding direct talks on "minimum security arrangements." Ksenia Svetlova, a former member of the Knesset and today executive director of ROPES, the Regional Organization for Peace, Economics and Security, said that while the talks now are over security arrangements, it was possible they could expand into possible normalization. She told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that there was now an opportune chance for Israel to expand its coalition with the Arab world, including with moderate Palestinians, against the Iranian axis.
