The United States is engaging in direct discussions with Israel regarding its military activities in Syria following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the importance of preventing the escalation of conflicts during these conversations.
Blinken explained that Israel's actions in Syria are aimed at preventing abandoned military equipment from falling into the hands of terrorists or extremists. Israeli forces have entered the buffer zone between Israel and Syria and have conducted strikes on Syrian air bases, ports, and weapons stockpiles.
