Israel is reportedly holding secret talks with Syria's new government, led by interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa, to explore the possibility of Syria joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations.

Axar.az, citing Times of Israel, reports that a recent meeting was said to have taken place in Azerbaijan, involving Israeli, Syrian, Turkish, and possibly Emirati or Qatari mediation.

The initiative comes after U.S. President Trump invited Sharaa to join the accords during their meeting in Riyadh — the first such contact between the countries’ leaders in 25 years. While Israel remains cautious, it's reportedly open to reshaping its northern border and future ties with Syria, viewing this as a chance to shift Syria away from Iran's influence.

Sharaa, formerly tied to extremist groups, has sparked skepticism in Israel, but recent diplomatic moves suggest growing regional efforts — led by Washington and the Gulf — to integrate Syria into a U.S.-aligned bloc.

Turkiye, which backed Sharaa’s coalition in the civil war, is also involved in the discussions.

Israel’s military presence near the Golan Heights continues amid these developments.
