# U.S. Facilitates Talks Between Israel and Syria for Border Stability
Dialogue aimed at enhancing economic stability in the Middle East is underway, with Israel and Syria discussing border conflicts through U.S. mediation.
In a recent interview, Thomas J. Barrack Jr., the U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, announced “meaningful” discussions between Israel and Syria, aided by U.S. mediation. These talks aim to stabilize the border and are part of a broader initiative for Syria to potentially join the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
Barrack emphasized that the newly elected Syrian president, Ahmed al-Shara, must manage internal political dynamics carefully. He pointed out that it is essential for al-Shara to gain public support without appearing forced into agreements with Israel. As such, the president's engagement with the Abraham Accords will be a gradual process.
This diplomatic effort reflects the U.S. administration's aim to foster less conflict and increased economic prosperity in the region. Barrack noted that the shift in approach signifies a departure from historical attempts at nation-building that have not yielded results. He highlighted the priority of securing profitable business opportunities, particularly in sectors such as arms and artificial intelligence.
In addition, Barrack underscored President Trump’s willingness to employ military action against perceived threats, such as Iran, indicating a robust stance in favor of Israeli security. As these discussions progress, the impact on regional stability and economic development remains to be seen.
