Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani will meet with US lawmakers in Washington this week to discuss the lifting of remaining US sanctions on his country, Senator Lindsey Graham said, according to Axios.
Axios also reported that Shibani is expected to meet Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday. The US State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Shibani's visit.
The announcement of the foreign minister's visit comes after remarks by the Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Wednesday that Syria's negotiations with Israel to reach a security agreement could lead to results "in the coming days."
Despite Wednesday's meeting and Washington’s efforts to broker a deal, officials concluded that an agreement was not expected next week, nor was a meeting anticipated between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
One of the senior officials had said after the meeting between Dermer and Shaibani that “A breakthrough under US pressure to showcase an achievement is also a possibility, but at this stage, the chances are low. Right now, it doesn’t look realistic.”
