Channel 12 reports that Israel has been engaged in “secret talks” with senior Syrian government officials in recent days, discussing the possibility of Syria joining the Abraham Accords. This development follows U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s formal request to Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa during a meeting in Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel. One of the reported meetings took place in Azerbaijan, where Maj. Gen. Oded Basyuk, Head of the IDF Operations Directorate, represented Israel in discussions with both Syrian and Turkish officials in Baku.
