Syria-Israel deal in Paris: Essential facts

Syria seeks to enforce the 1974 Disengagement Agreement for Israeli forces to withdraw from Syrian territory and respect sovereignty. Israel aims for more land, patronage of minorities, and leverage, with US backing for containment of Iranian influence. Doubts remain on the effectiveness of the mechanism, particularly concerning Israel’s withdrawal from Syrian territory and ongoing attacks on Damascus.
