Netanyahu Claims Syria Call Averted July 2025 Clashes; Damascus Silent

Netanyahu Claims Syria Call Averted July 2025 Clashes; Damascus Silent

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed he spoke with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in July 2025, averting further killings during clashes in southern Syria. Damascus has not confirmed the call, which Netanyahu disclosed on October 15, 2026, ahead of Israeli elections. Syrian officials rejected Israeli involvement in their internal affairs and attributed the end of Israeli airstrikes to US mediation. Despite ongoing US-brokered security talks, direct leader-level communication remains unacknowledged by Syria, with analysts viewing it as a tension-reduction step rather than a path to peace.
