Israel and Syria are in direct contact and have held face-to-face talks in recent weeks to reduce tensions and prevent border confrontations, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The report states that these talks represent a significant development in relations between the countries, as the U.S. urges Damascus to establish relations with Israel and calls on Israel to reduce strikes in Syria. According to two Syrian sources and two Western sources, a secret channel was opened through mediators, with Ahmad al-Dalati, a senior security official appointed as governor of Quneitra province after Bashar Assad's fall, leading the talks on the Syrian side.
