According to a joint statement issued by Washington on behalf of Israel, Syria, and the United States, Israel and Syria agreed during talks held today in Paris to establish a “Joint Coordination Mechanism.” The statement said the mechanism is a “dedicated communication group” designed to “facilitate immediate and ongoing coordination between the two sides on intelligence sharing, military de-escalation, diplomatic engagement, and commercial cooperation, under U.S. supervision.” The mechanism will also serve as a channel for the rapid resolution of disputes.
