The United States is preparing to deploy a military contingent at the Damascus airbase to secure the future security agreement between Syria and Israel, Reuters reports.
According to the agency's sources, "the US plans to deploy troops in the Syrian capital, which were not reported before, may be a sign of Syria's strategic reorientation towards the US."
According to Reuters, the base is located at the entrance to southern Syria, which is slated to become a demilitarized zone under a non-aggression pact between Israel and Syria. According to some reports, this deal is being brokered by the US President Donald Trump's administration.
As mentioned in the publication, the new Syrian authorities are negotiating with the Trump administration regarding the future of American bases in Syria.
