**U.S. Facilitates Talks Between Israel and Syria to Ease Border Tensions**

Amidst regional turbulence, the U.S. brokers discussions aimed at restoring peace between Israel and Syria, prioritizing economic investment.


In a notable diplomatic move, Thomas J. Barrack Jr., the U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, confirmed that significant talks are underway between Israel and Syria to stabilize their borders. During an exclusive interview, Barrack shared insights into the U.S. administration's focus on encouraging Syria under its new president, Ahmed al-Shara, to join the Abraham Accords — a series of agreements designed to foster diplomatic relations between Israel and various Arab nations.

Barrack noted that while the administration's intentions are constructive, progress may be gradual due to internal pressures facing al-Shara. "He cannot be perceived as succumbing to external pressures regarding the Abraham Accords," Barrack explained, suggesting a need for the Syrian leadership to advance at a pace acceptable to its populace.

This strategy represents a strategic pivot from previous U.S. efforts that sought to 'nation-build' in the region. Instead, Barrack emphasized an approach focused on economic development. With prospective investments in arms and artificial intelligence highlighted by former President Trump during his recent Middle Eastern visit, the emphasis appears to rest on building economic alliances over imposing governance structures.

Trump’s administration, known for its unconventional foreign policy tactics, will continue to support Israel while positioning Syria within a framework conducive to regional prosperity. Such endeavors aim not only to reduce hostilities but also to pave the way for a more collaborative Middle Eastern landscape.
