Israel and Syria are nearing a de-escalation agreement that would see Israel halt attacks and Syria refrain from moving machinery or heavy equipment near the border. U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack said negotiations were in good faith and had been delayed by the Rosh Hashana holiday. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa voiced hope for a security deal and emphasized that Syria had not created problems with Israel while saying his country fears Israeli actions. He warned that continued Israeli incursions and talk of partitioning Syria would increase pressures on Jordan and hurt Iraq and Turkiye, risking wider regional instability. Al-Sharaa will address the UNGA, the first Syrian leader to do so in six decades.
