In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Sharaâs past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

In a scathing joint statement, 100 prominent Muslim scholars from over 25 countries declared Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as âenemies waging war against God.â The scholars accused the two leaders of bloodshed, corruption, and crimes against humanity, condemning U.S.-Israeli policies on Palestine. The declaration brands Israel a âcancerous entityâ and forbids normalization. Citing attacks on Muslim groups and the Jerusalem embassy move, the statement calls for global Muslim unity and unwavering resistance until Palestine is fully liberated.

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israelâs air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites.
This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida has issued a chilling warning to Israel, vowing intensified guerrilla warfare in Gaza. The Al-Qassam Brigades claim near-successful attempts to capture IDF soldiers and report hundreds of Israeli casualties. Hamas threatens to halt partial deals if indirect talks fail and reiterates its hostage exchange offer for a full ceasefire. Accusing Israel of war crimes and psychological warfare, the group condemned Arab leaders for silence and praised Yemenâs Ansarallah for striking Israeli-linked targets in solidarity with Gaza.

A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syriaâs Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian armyâs withdrawal from key hotspots. Damascus denies redeploying forces, while Israel is blamed for stoking unrest and violating sovereignty. Bedouin leaders call for tribal mobilization amid fears of ethnic cleansing. Sweida remains a volatile flashpoint, with the Syrian government losing control and foreign actorsâincluding Israelâshaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a call with Pope Leo XIV following the deadly IDF strike on Gazaâs Holy Family Church, which killed three civilians. The Pope expressed deep sorrow, called for an immediate ceasefire, and urged protection of worship sites. He also warned of Gazaâs worsening humanitarian crisis. While Netanyahuâs office called the exchange âfriendly,â the Vatican stressed moral responsibility.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has firmly denied claims that Jeffrey Epstein was linked to Mossad, calling them âcategorically falseâ and a âvicious lie.â The response came after Tucker Carlson implied Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence, questioning his wealth and connections. Bennett slammed Carlson for spreading conspiracy theories and said Mossad never ran a blackmail operation. Carlson has since doubled down, demanding an interview and accusing Bennett of threats, while MAGA circles push for Epsteinâs âclient listâ to be revealed.
