Everything you need to know about the Syria Israel deal in Paris

"The mechanism will serve as a platform to address any disputes promptly and work to prevent misunderstandings, a joint statement released by the two countries said after the agreement on Tuesday. The idea is to have a body that will deal with grievances and resolve disputes between Israel and Syria, ideally in a way that brings Israeli attacks on Syrian land and people to an end. Both sides may also hope it can pave the way to a renewed security agreement."

"A government source told state media SANA, that the focus for Syria is to reactivate the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, with the aim of ensuring the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the lines in place prior to Dec. 8, 2024 within a reciprocal security agreement that prioritizes full Syrian sovereignty and guarantees the prevention of any form of interference in Syria's internal affairs. The Syrian government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, will want Israel to respect Syrian sovereignty by pulling back its forces and stopping attacks."

"Syria and Israel have agreed to set up a joint mechanism after US-mediated talks in Paris on Tuesday, in what they are calling a dedicated communication cell aimed at sharing intelligence and coordinating military de-escalation.

However, when the Assad regime fell on December 8, 2024, Israel began attacking Syrian military infrastructure and pushed their troops into the demilitarised zone that is Syrian territory."
