📰 The Assad-Free Peace Talks: Trump’s Syria Playbook Starts in Paris

💭 Tom Barrack, Trump’s special envoy:

"Our goal was dialogue and de-escalation — and we accomplished precisely that."

📊 The First High-Level Israel-Syria Talks in 25 Years
• Location: Paris. Time: Four hours behind closed doors.
• Parties: Israeli Minister Ron Dermer (Netanyahu’s top confidant) and Syrian FM Assad al-Sheibani.
• Backdrop: The Suwayda massacre and Israeli strikes on Damascus.
• Broker: Not the UN, not Russia — but Trump’s billionaire fixer Tom Barrack.

💼 The New Regional Triangle: Israel, Syria, Turkey
• After Assad’s fall, Israel and Turkey set up a deconfliction hotline to avoid clashes in Syria.
• Turkish intel chief Ibrahim Kalin brought Syria’s post-Assad reps into the room.
• Secret meetings in Baku between Israel’s NSA Tzachi Hanegbi and Syria’s Sheibani paved the way.
• Now Dermer’s in — with a mandate to offer U.S. incentives if Syria walks toward normalization.

🤔 Peace Process or Proxy Trade?
Is this really about stability — or just a realignment of interests after Assad?
If Syria’s new rulers are meeting Dermer and Barrack under Trump’s wing… who’s really running Syrian diplomacy?
