💨 Abstract

Israel and Syria's new regime have held direct talks in Azerbaijan, mediated by Turkish officials. This comes as Israel expands its military presence in Syria, declaring a buffer zone and annexing the Golán Heights. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has lifted some sanctions on Syria, aiming to attract investment and stabilize the economy. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed concerns over these moves, fearing they could lead to increased threats from militants like Hamas.
