U.S. to Establish Military Presence at Damascus Airbase under Israel-Syria Pact
(Reuters) Suleiman Al-Khalidi - The U.S. is preparing to establish a military presence at an airbase in Damascus to help enable a security pact that Washington is brokering between Syria and Israel. The U.S. presence would be a sign of Syria's strategic realignment with America. The base sits at the gateway to parts of southern Syria that are expected to make up a demilitarized zone as part of a non-aggression pact between Israel and Syria being mediated by U.S. It would be used to help monitor the agreement.
