Netanyahu: Israel in Talks on Southern Syria Demilitarization
(AFP-Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel was engaged in talks aimed at the demilitarization of southern Syria, acknowledging contacts with the new Syrian regime. Netanyahu told Druze leaders in Israel, "We are focusing on three things: Protecting the Druze community in the Sweida governorate, but not only there; creating a demilitarized zone stretching from the Golan Heights (passing) south of Damascus down to and including Sweida; and establishing a humanitarian corridor to allow the delivery of aid. These discussions are taking place right now, at this very moment."
