Syrian government and Hezbollah held secret talks in Turkey, sources claim

Sources reported that Syrian government officials and representatives from Hezbollah held secret face-to-face talks in Turkey. The discussions aimed to de-escalate tensions between the two groups. However, both the Syrian government and Turkey have since denied that such a meeting took place on Turkish soil.

These alleged talks occurred against a backdrop of strained relations between Damascus and Beirut, particularly concerning the influence of Hezbollah within Syria. The denial by both parties suggests a desire to avoid public acknowledgment of any internal coordination or disagreement, especially given the complex regional dynamics involving Iran and other actors.
