Paris [France], January 6: A Syrian delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan Al Shaibani and General Intelligence Director-General Hussein Al Salama, is joining a new round of negotiations with Israeli counterparts in the French capital Paris, under the coordination and mediation of the United States, according to Syrian state news agency SANA.
A government source told SANA on Monday that the resumption of these negotiations affirms Syria's unwavering commitment to restoring its non-negotiable national rights.
Israel has, since the fall of longtime Syrian leader Bashar Al Assad, extended its occupation of Syrian territory beyond the Golan Heights and staged numerous raids and bombardments in southern Syria.
For months, Israeli forces have conducted near-daily incursions into southern Syria, particularly in the Quneitra governorate, carrying out arrests, erecting checkpoints, and bulldozing land, all of which have prompted growing public anger and unrest. Over the past year, Israel has launched more than 600 air, drone and artillery attacks across Syria.
