Sources tell the Saudi channel Al-Arabiya that Israel and Syria have agreed on 80% of the points under dispute between them, following a meeting two days ago in Paris between the Syrian foreign minister and an Israeli delegation that aims to reach a permanent agreement between the Syrian regime and Israel.
The meeting in Paris was reportedly attended by an Israeli delegation including Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, as well as US envoy to Syria Tom Barrack.
It was also reported that the parties agreed to continue the discussions that began in Paris, and that have also been held in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The channel did not detail which issues the sides have agreed on and which are yet to be resolved.
