Summary
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa confirmed that Syria has engaged in indirect talks with Israel to ease tensions, as reported during a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron. The United Arab Emirates is said to be mediating these discussions, although a senior UAE official denied this claim. Amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes in Syria targeting pro-Iran proxies, Sharaa expressed openness to normalization with Israel under certain conditions during a meeting with U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman.
