Syrian security official denies participating in talks with Israel
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – The head of internal security in Suwayda Governorate, southern Syria, Ahmad al-Dalati, denied on Tuesday any involvement in direct negotiations with Israeli officials.
His statement came in response to a report earlier by Reuters, which cited informed security sources claiming that al-Dalati had recently led direct meetings between Syrian and Israeli representatives.
Speaking to Syria’s al-Ikhbariya channel, Dalati said: “I categorically deny participating in any direct negotiation sessions with the Israeli side. These claims are completely unfounded and lack both accuracy and credibility.”
He reaffirmed Syria’s firm stance on the issue, emphasizing, “The Syrian position is clear and unwavering.”
Dalati added that the Syrian leadership “remains committed to taking all necessary measures to protect the Syrian people and to defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
