Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa has said that security talks with Israel are a "necessity" and could lead to results in the "coming days".
Al-Sharaa, who led the force that ousted former President Bashar al-Assad from power in December, ending the country's 13-year war, made the comments to reporters on Wednesday, Aljazeera reports.
Israel responded to al-Assad's overthrow by declaring that a 1974 security agreement with Syria had failed and increased the amount of Syrian territory Israel controlled, as well as airstrikes in Syria, killing several Syrian soldiers in recent months.
The United States, which has supported Syria's new authorities, has tried to broker an agreement between Syria and Israel.
However, al-Sharaa said the US had not pressured Syria to make a deal with Israel, and was instead acting as a mediator.
The Syrian president added that the potential agreement between Israel and Syria would have to respect Syria's airspace, which Israel has repeatedly violated for years, as well as Syria's territorial integrity.
He added that the United Nations would have to monitor any agreement.
A security agreement could lead to reaching other agreements, al-Sharaa said, but a normalization agreement between the two countries is not currently on the table.
