U.S. envoy Tom Barrack and advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner mediated between the parties. President Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to return to the talks. The United States proposed a joint U.S.-Israeli-Syrian fusion cell in Amman to oversee security in southern Syria, demilitarization, and withdrawal of Israeli forces. The plan calls for freezing military activities on both sides until the fusion cell resolves details, with each side sending diplomatic, military, intelligence, and commercial representatives and the U.S. acting as continuous intermediary.
