US Proposes Demilitarized Economic Zone Between Syria and Israel

A US official informed Axios on Tuesday that the United States has introduced a new proposal aimed at reaching a security agreement between Syria and Israel. The plan includes the establishment of a demilitarized economic zone on both sides of the border to alleviate tensions and promote economic cooperation.

The source explained that the concept of this proposal is similar to one suggested for the Donbass region as part of the resolution between Russia and Ukraine, as it combines both security and economic elements. Additionally, regional partners have expressed a genuine commitment to funding the economic zone project, reflecting both international and regional support for the initiative.

This proposal comes at a time when the Middle East is experiencing recurring tensions along the Syrian-Israeli border, while the US seeks to balance security and economic stability in the region.
