The political bureau of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement strongly denounced on Wednesday the meeting held in Paris between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and an Israeli delegation.

In a statement, the group said, “We strongly condemn what the armed group ruling Syria has done by holding a direct meeting with the Zionist enemy in Paris.”

Ansar Allah added that the talks came “at a time when Benjamin Netanyahu announced new escalatory steps to occupy Gaza, while the enemy continues storming and desecrating the al-Aqsa Mosque, and pushing forward with its so-called Greater Israel project.”

The statement further accused the Syrian leadership of “extending its hands toward open normalization with the Zionist enemy, even as Israeli aggression against Syria persists.”

The Yemeni movement described the meeting as “a blatant betrayal of the sacrifices and rights of the Syrian people,” stressing that “armed factions in Syria have proven to be mere tools operating under external dictates serving the Zionist project.”

Ansar Allah reiterated its opposition to all normalization efforts with the Israeli occupation, urging Arab governments to “stop rushing into the paths of religious and moral betrayal at the expense of their nations, the rights of Arab peoples, and the blood of martyrs.”

“Syria was once unbreakable and must remain so,” the statement concluded, warning that “anyone who thinks they can escape the enemy’s expansionist project is delusional and will reap nothing but loss.”

The remarks came after Syrian state media reported that al-Shaibani met with an Israeli delegation in the French capital. According to SANA, discussions centered on de-escalation, non-interference in Syrian internal affairs, monitoring the ceasefire in Sweida province, and the reactivation of the 1974 disengagement agreement.

Syria, 'Israel' talk 'regional stability'

The Syrian Foreign Ministry announced that President Ahmed al-Sharaa met with a delegation of US Congress members in Damascus, accompanied by the Syrian foreign and interior ministers.

According to Israeli Channel 12, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer met al-Shibani in Paris on Tuesday alongside US envoy Tom Barrack to discuss security arrangements along the Palestinian-Syrian border.

This would not be the first time the trio met. Previously, on August 12, the Trump administration was attempting to negotiate an agreement that would allegedly establish a humanitarian corridor connecting "Israel" to the city of Sweida in southern Syria to facilitate aid delivery to the Druze community in that region, according to statements from one US official and two Israeli officials who spoke to Axios.

Moreover, Israeli reserve colonel Moshe Elad previously disclosed ongoing discussions regarding a potential security agreement between "Israel" and Syria, centered on intelligence cooperation to fight Hezbollah and Iranian influence in the region.
