Paris, May 7 (AP) Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa said Wednesday that his country is holding indirect talks with Israel to prevent recent hostilities from getting out of control.
Israel carried out a series of airstrikes on parts of Syria last week, saying it aims to protect the country’s Druze minority coming under attack by pro-government gunmen.
Speaking to reporters in Paris on his first trip to Europe since taking office, al-Sharaa said, “Regarding negotiations with Israel, there are indirect talks through mediators to calm down the situation so that they don’t go out of control.” He did not say who the mediators are. (AP) GSP
