An upcoming agreement between Israel and Syria to confront the party and Iran

In a sudden move that might have a fundamental shift in the balance of regional powers, Colonel’s reserves in the Israeli army, Moshe Edd, revealed a prospective security agreement between Israel and Syria, which includes intelligence cooperation and field coordination to confront Iranian influence in the region, specifically the presence of Hezbollah in southern Syria and Lebanon.

Details of the agreement: beyond the titles?

According to what was reported by the “i24NEWS” channel, the agreement does not fall within the “Abraham” agreements that Israel signed with a number of Arab countries, but rather comes as a special security order between the two sides, including:

Direct intelligence cooperation To confront Hezbollah’s activity and the presence of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria.
Field coordination On the border in the Golan region, to ensure “mutual security stability”.
The announcement of the Shebaa Farms as a Syrian regionWhat is a strategic transformation that weakens Hezbollah’s account of “legitimate resistance”.
Negotiations on exporting Israeli gas to SyriaIn a step indicating Damascus’s desire to break the suffocating economic isolation.
Coordination in the water fileEspecially in the Yarmouk River basin, which is one of the most prominent water sources in southern Syria.

Secret communication channels: Who negotiates?

According to a report published by the American “Axios” website, these negotiations are managed by at least four official Israeli channels, including:

Tzahi Hengby – National Security Adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
David Burnaa – Director of the “Mossad” device.
Gideon Saar – Israeli Foreign Minister.
Direct military coordination Through the Israeli army channels.

This secret diplomatic movement reflects the intention of Israel to reformulate the security environment in the northern front through an unconventional approach, which may lead to an unannounced partnership with Damascus in the face of Tehran.

A tense regional context: Iran and Hezbollah are at the heart of the equation

This agreement comes in light of the intensification of the conflict between Israel and the axis of the resistance, specifically Hezbollah, which continues its operations on the Lebanese -Israeli border, and the escalation of tension between Tel Aviv and Tehran in several arenas. This Syrian -Israeli rapprochement may be part of an Israeli strategy to isolate Hezbollah from the Syrian depth and restrict the Iranian movement inside Syrian territory.

Did Damascus pave a peace agreement?

Although the reports did not explicitly talk about a comprehensive peace agreement, observers believe that what is happening is a prelude to that. The security agreement that is discussing between the two parties carries with its folds the features of political understanding, especially with the exchange of security and economic interests.

According to previous reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his interest in negotiating with Damascus on a long -term agreement, which requires strategic concessions on both sides, the most prominent of which is in the occupied Golan file, and the presence of militias loyal to Iran in Syria.

Shebaa farms … the most prominent knot

The Shebaa Farms file is one of the most prominent contentious points in Israeli -Syrian -Lebanese relations. And if it is officially recognized as a Syrian land, this may constitute a major blow to Hezbollah’s justifications for continued armament, as it depends on the file of “editing Shebaa” as an essential part of his internal speech.

Expected reactions: confusion in the axis of resistance?

There was no official comment from Damascus until the moment, but if these reports are correct, the Iranian axis in Syria and Lebanon will witness an internal tremor, especially with the possibility of the regional re -positioning of Damascus.

Hezbollah, which relies heavily on the Syrian depth in its logistical and military operations, may find itself a political trapped if Syria takes the path of public or secret rapprochement with Tel Aviv, especially if this is accompanied by escalating international pressure to strip his weapon inside Lebanon.

Does Syria return to the Arab axis in exchange for abandoning Iran?

The secret understandings between Damascus and Tel Aviv, if confirmed, may constitute an unprecedented strategic transformation since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011. While Israel is seeking to limit the Iranian role in the region, Syria may see in these understandings an opportunity to get out of isolation and return to the Arab embrace, especially after the partial Gulf openness to it.

But the scene is still mysterious, and the explosive files, from the Golan to Shebaa, through Hezbollah and Iran, make any security agreement the beginning of a road fraught with challenges.
