Israel presented Syria with a detailed proposal for a new security agreement, including a map of proposed demilitarized zones from Damascus southwest up to the border with Israel, according to two sources familiar with the details.
Why it matters: Israel has had tense relations with the new Syrian government, even bombing Damascus in July. The Trump administration has taken a much friendlier line with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who toppled and then replaced Bashar al-Assad, and has quietly facilitated Israel-Syria diplomacy.
State of play: Syria has not responded yet to the Israeli proposal, made several weeks ago, and has been working on a counterproposal in recent weeks.

That would be the third such trilateral meeting. Sources familiar with the talks said they are showing progress, but no agreement appears imminent.
